Arcesium is a global financial technology firm that solves complex data-driven challenges faced by some of the world’s most sophisticated financial institutions. We constantly innovate our platform and capabilities to meet tomorrow’s challenges, anticipate the risks our clients encounter, and design advanced solutions to help our clients achieve transformational business outcomes.
Financial technology is a high-growth industry as change and innovation continue to disrupt the status-quo and prompt major transformation. Arcesium is at a particularly interesting time in our own growth as we look to leverage our successfully established market position and expand operations in pursuit of strategic new business opportunities. We value intellectual curiosity, proactive ownership, and collaboration with colleagues, and we empower you to meaningfully contribute from day one and accelerate your professional development.
Position Summary
Arcesium seeks an accomplished Lead Engineer to join the Developer Experience (DevEx) team, part of our Infrastructure organization. You’ll be an engineer improving the experience of other software engineers — your users are the developers building Arcesium’s products. You have a low tolerance for friction in the development loop. Slow CI pipelines, flaky tests, observability that leaves you guessing, deploy processes that make people hold their breath — these are the things that nag at you, and you channel that into building practical solutions that measurably improve developer velocity and satisfaction.
DevEx’s mandate is to maximize developer productivity and efficacy by providing best-in-class SDLC and Observability services, and by building systems that strategically apply GenAI to every stage of software development and operations. As a Lead Engineer on the DevEx team, you will own one or more subsystems or services across areas, delivering high-quality products both individually and collaboratively.
In this role you will lead by example through your strong engineering skills, supported by the quality of the software you build, the insightful code reviews you provide to others, and the technical solutions you originate and implement. You must demonstrate high agency: combining systems thinking, a bias to action, and the willingness to challenge assumptions to assess and address the needs, challenges, and concerns of engineering teams at Arcesium.
