You'll own consumer login and identity verification, including Self ID and Network Check, and the account ownership and holder-name checks that run on bank data. Checkout, Orchestration and Risk call these services in the checkout path, under contracts with tight latency and availability commitments.

  • Daily use of AI coding tools (such as Claude Code, Cursor or Copilot), with clear views on where they help and where human review has to hold
  • Strong distributed systems design: data consistency, idempotency, concurrency
