The role:

You will steward the 'building blocks' of modern fintech. Our APIs empower clients to build unique financial experiences, meaning your team's work directly powers the innovation of some of the world's largest fintechs.

What you’ll do:

• Build the Golden Path: Design and deliver reusable frameworks and shared infrastructure that help product squads ship secure, observable, and compliant services by default.
• Create Platform Abstractions: Identify repeated implementation patterns and turn them into modular platform components that reduce duplication and simplify service development.
• Improve Traceability and Observability: Drive adoption of common telemetry and request-correlation patterns so teams can troubleshoot and operate services more effectively.
• Advance Contract-First Development: Help make technical contracts the source of truth for service development, with tooling that keeps implementation, documentation, and schemas aligned.
• Raise the DX (Developer Experience) Bar: Build platform tools that teams adopt because they are faster, clearer, and easier to use than bespoke alternatives.
• Navigate Trade-offs Well: Make sound technical decisions that balance standardization, delivery speed, and the practical needs of individual teams.
• Partner Across Teams: Work closely with engineers, managers, and adjacent platform teams to align on patterns, priorities, and rollout plans.
• Mentor Through Practice: Coach engineers through design reviews, code review, docs, and shared implementation work; help maintain core platform libraries and support an innersource contribution model.

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Distributed Systems Experience: 8+ years of experience designing and scaling resilient software systems, ideally with strong Python experience.
• Platform Mindset: Experience building shared libraries, services, proxies, or frameworks used by internal engineering teams.
• Modern SDLC Depth: Hands-on experience with CI/CD, automated testing, schema validation, and production delivery pipelines.
• Cross-Team Influence: A track record of driving technical direction and gaining buy-in from peer teams and stakeholders without direct authority.
• Cloud & Kubernetes Experience: Strong experience with AWS and Kubernetes-based environments.
• Pragmatic Engineering Judgment: Ability to identify when a problem should be standardized, abstracted, or left local.

Nice to have:

• Framework Expertise: Familiarity with Python Flask and/or FastAPI frameworks.
• Infrastructure as Code: Experience with Terraform for delivering standardized infrastructure templates.
• API Governance: Familiarity with OpenAPI/Swagger standards and the governance of large-scale API catalogs.
• Observability & Identity Experience: Experience with distributed tracing, metric taxonomies, and service-to-service authentication (S2SA) patterns.
• FinTech Experience: Domain knowledge in payment systems or highly regulated financial technology environments.

The Role:

As a Principal Software Engineer on the Cyberbank Core team at Galileo, you will lead broad, impactful projects across multiple teams as one of the senior-most technical contributors shaping our next-generation lean core banking platform. Your influence will span teams, projects, and geographies, driving both technical direction and how our teams design, build, and operate the services and data pipelines that power scalable, performant, and secure banking products.

You will be hands-on and in the details as an exemplary practitioner: in the software we develop, in the infrastructure we operate, and in the tools and techniques we use to test, release, and maintain it at scale. You will help teams evolve codebases to ship improvements safely and frequently in a regulated, cloud-native environment. As part of this, you will steward a broader engineering community and mentor engineers across the organization.

You will proactively identify the right problems to solve and advocate for organizational priorities. This role is inherently cross-functional, you will work closely with engineering, product, compliance, data, and executive stakeholders to define and execute on technical strategy for Cyberbank Core. You'll face and solve a wide range of challenges: architectural, operational, and product-related, across multiple products and geographies.

What You’ll Do:

• Own driving Cyberbank Core's software architecture and systems forward — setting long-term direction and executing on it across multiple teams and quarters, with a particular focus on the core banking services, data pipelines, and API platform.
• Build as an exemplary practitioner: get hands-on developing software and set a high quality standard for teams to follow.
• Define the right boundaries, APIs, and integrations between teams and with clients and partners to ensure technical and business success across multiple geographies.
• Solve complex engineering problems endemic to high-availability, low-latency, scalable distributed systems in a regulated banking environment.
• Execute large-scale projects — leading design, planning, and execution across multiple teams to drive technical direction and product outcomes.
• Drive the design and implementation of scalable, secure, and highly available SaaS services and data engineering pipelines that support next-generation core banking capabilities.
• Proactively identify broader problems and opportunities. Anticipate and design the next generation of our systems and products.
• Raise the quality of our engineering teams: identify opportunities and advocate for improvements to how we write software, our approach to testing and quality, and the habits and processes of highly effective teams.
• Mentor and coach individuals and teams across the company. Steward engineering communities, fostering design collaboration and mindshare.
• Articulate how technical architecture and team structure interact, and provide input on the right organizational structure to deliver on our engineering goals.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to leadership, representing technical strategy to business and executive stakeholders and participating in strategic planning.
• Continuously drive improvement, new practices, and operational excellence initiatives across the department.
• Champion improvements in code, design, and operational reviews. Lead initiatives that improve department software quality and operations. Be a stakeholder in engineering norms and standards for code quality, software quality, and operational excellence.

What You’ll Need:

• 10+ years of programming experience; mastery of software development independent of language.
• Advanced expertise in designing, building, and operating large-scale fault-tolerant distributed systems, applications, databases, and workflows.
• Demonstrated experience with continuous delivery principles and techniques: you've built systems with layered test automation that is always safe for automated releases to production, enabling a great, low-cycle-time developer experience.
• Deep expertise in designing and managing cloud-based solutions with a strong focus on resiliency experience with AWS (or other public cloud infrastructure) required.
• A high standard for what "great" looks like, and experience continuously improving legacy systems to reach it.
• Strong judgment, and experience recognizing and driving out critical decisions in a balanced and pragmatic way.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively across remote, distributed teams.
• Experience working in a regulated industry.
• Experience working on banking backends, particularly cores, ledgers, or payment systems is a plus.
• Bi-lingual Spanish/English required.
