Technical Advisor Infrastructure & Architecture
Remote | Fractional | ~20 hours/month
A lean, high-performing product team is preparing to scale from simulation to live execution in a space where reliability and compliance are non-negotiable. They're now seeking a Technical Advisor to guide architectural decisions, audit infrastructure, and shape the technical roadmap without stepping into a full-time leadership role.
This is an ideal opportunity for a senior engineer or architect with fintech experience who wants to lend strategic insight to an ambitious build from its earliest phase.
Key Responsibilities:
Assess and strengthen the technical foundation across infrastructure, data flows, and compliance-sensitive integrations.
Offer architectural oversight for payments systems, ledger logic, identity verification, and related workflows.
Contribute to future-proofing efforts by identifying risks in scalability, security, and maintainability.
Support hiring processes and provide guidance to engineering contributors.
Required Experience:
Expertise in cloud-native infrastructure, containerization (Docker), CI/CD pipelines, and secure architecture (AWS, audit trails, encryption, etc.).
Deep understanding of API-driven payment systems and regulatory frameworks (KYB/KYC, FBO structures, etc.).
Prior experience advising or building within B2B financial technology, compliance-first environments, or real-time transactional platforms.
Clear communication and strong technical judgment in high-ownership, low-oversight environments.
Compensation:
Advisory retainer (~20 hrs/month)
$3,000/month with additional equity consideration based on continued engagement and scope
