The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and ship full-stack features for a payments-focused web platform, taking product work from undefined problems through to production with a high degree of independence.

- Experience shipping production software at a large, engineering-led technology company operating at scale.
- A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related engineering field, or an adjacent degree from a strong program.
- Strong hands-on skill across both the client and server sides of a modern web application, working in a JavaScript-based toolchain.
- Experience building systems that handle sensitive data and treating data integrity and security as a core concern.
- Clear written and verbal communication with non-technical stakeholders.
Bonus points
- Familiarity with AI tooling as a default part of the development workflow.
- Background in payments, billing, claims or electronic health records, or a clear interest in those areas.
