You will partner closely with UI designers, front‑end developers, back‑end engineers and DevOps specialists in cross‑functional pods, ensuring that each micro‑app feels coherent, accessible and delightful—even to risk analysts and regulatory auditors.

You will join a culture that values collaboration, innovation and craftsmanship—and you will directly influence how our platform evolves, setting the standard for modern, AI‑enabled governance experiences.

Must have a laptop that supports design and Microsoft Teams meetings. Company will provide the software.
