Key responsibilities include designing and building core financial systems (trading, ledger, billing), developing systems for transaction processing, reconciliation, and portfolio state management, building and scaling real-time and batch data pipelines, architecting APIs and backend services for internal and external use, ensuring system reliability and observability, contributing to distributed systems design (event-driven systems, microservices, streaming), and partnering with ML teams to integrate models into production systems as needed.

At least one in-person interview is required before an offer decision; remotely located candidates may be asked to visit Mountain View HQ or meet team members in NY/New Jersey depending on location.
