• Building the future of wealth management excites you. You understand that we're not just building software - we're democratizing access to investment opportunities that can transform financial futures.

• You balance technical excellence with business impact. You make pragmatic architectural decisions that consider both long-term scalability and immediate business needs.
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and scale. From building MVPs to scaling systems handling billions in assets, you adapt your leadership style to what the business needs. You can switch context between strategic planning and debugging production issues.
• You lead by example technically. While you won't code full-time, you stay close to the codebase, participate in architecture reviews, and can jump into critical technical decisions. Your team respects you because you understand their challenges deeply.
• You build bridges, not silos. You actively collaborate with other engineering teams, Product, Design, and Investment teams. You understand that our success depends on breaking down barriers between disciplines.
• You're passionate about engineering culture. You contribute to building LIQID's engineering brand through technical blogs, conference talks, open source contributions, or mentoring in the broader tech community.
