Description
Why This Role Exists :
Snapmint has crossed an inflection point. We have proven product-market fit, scaled to over a million users, and built a transaction engine that processes thousands of EMIs every day. What got us here won't get us to 50 million users.
Our systems need to evolve from fast-moving startup architecture to a resilient, secure, and extensible financial platform. We need someone who has seen what the next 10x looks like, has the scars to prove it, and the vision to architect for it.
We are not looking for someone to manage what exists. We need someone who will challenge every assumption and redesign what needs to be redesigned.

Own The Technical Vision
- Define and own the end-to-end technology architecture platforms.

What You Bring
The Non-Negotiables :
- 10+ years of overall software engineering experience with at least 4-5 years in architecture, platform or principal/staff engineering roles
