## About the role

Every transaction on Plug moves real money - consumer payouts, dealer settlements, lien payoffs, auction proceeds - and today those flows run on infrastructure that was built to get us to $100M in volume, not to $1B. We need a technical architect to design the money systems that get us there: a ledger and payments architecture that's correct, auditable, and fast, built to survive contact with banking partners, regulators, and scale.
