## About the role

Within Qualia, you'll join the Payments team. Every real estate closing ends with money changing hands: earnest money deposits, loan funding, mortgage payoffs, seller proceeds, and commissions. Qualia powers a substantial portion of U.S. residential home sales every year, totaling billions of dollars in transaction volume. The Payments team builds the systems that move those funds safely, accurately, and on time.

## What they're looking for

- Design, build, and maintain systems that process ACH and wire transfers at scale (billions of dollars annually), including origination, settlement, reconciliation, and exception handling
- Build and harden payment-processing pipelines that integrate with banking partners, payment rails, and third-party financial APIs
- Implement controls for wire fraud prevention, transaction verification, and anomaly detection alongside our security and compliance teams
- Improve and extend core web applications (frontend and backend) that support escrow accounting and closing-day money movement
- Own architectural decisions for payments infrastructure, including data integrity, idempotency, retry/failure handling, and audit logging
- Partner with Compliance, Risk, and Accounting stakeholders to ensure systems meet regulatory and audit requirements (e.g., NACHA rules, wire fraud regulations, SOC 2 controls)
