  • Care about performance, accessibility, and details that affect user experience.
  • Ability to think about privacy, security, reliability, and user trust when working with sensitive financial data.
  • Comfortable diagnosing problems across system boundaries and improving engineering foundations.
  • Interest in AI-native interfaces and conversational ways to present complex personal information.
