Founding Engineer - Dragonfly Portfolio
About The Position
This is a principal-level engineering role with direct influence on core platform decisions at the company’s earliest stage. You will work closely with the CPTO, who owns product strategy and roadmap, while you own execution, technical judgment, and the platform's architecture, hardening, and readiness for real-world use. The role is focused on the areas of greatest impact. You will coordinate and provide technical leadership to early internal engineers and contractors, while directly owning critical architecture, code paths, and production systems. You will be highly influential in shaping the engineering team, setting the technical bar, and decision-making norms that future engineers build on.
Requirements
- Built and shipped production systems supporting real users and real financial or consumer workflows where reliability mattered.
- Owned systems end-to-end, including backend services, frontend delivery, data models, and operational reliability.
- Designed and operated systems dependent on third-party infrastructure such as payments, card issuing, identity, and KYC, or other regulated services.
- Mentored or guided other engineers in high-ownership environments, even without formal management titles.
