## About the role

We’re hiring a senior software engineer to help build the core systems that power Trayd. This is not a “take tickets and stay in your lane” job. Engineers at Trayd own product areas end-to-end. You’ll design, build, ship, and maintain real systems that move real money, under real compliance constraints, for customers who depend on us every week.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years building production software on a team
- Strong TypeScript and Node.js fundamentals
- Full-stack capable (or excited to be) and comfortable working across systems
- High ownership mindset: you ship, you fix, you follow through
- Strong judgment balancing speed, correctness, and maintainability
- You communicate clearly and collaborate well across functions
