Distributed Systems Engineer - Twisp

At Twisp, we’re a team of fintech veterans developing primitives to help engineers confidently build systems that handle financial transactions, balances, and insights at any scale. We’re a fully remote company with a mission to transform arcane financial protocols and complex ledger systems into simple, well-crafted developer experiences.

Even for the most experienced teams, correct ledger infrastructure and transactional workflows inevitably grow to become a multi-year engineering effort. Often only very large companies have the resources to tackle the fundamental challenges of correctness at scale. Our product helps teams deliver on strong transactional and integrity guarantees without sacrificing product velocity.

We’re fully funded and backed by top investors in our domain.

While our go-to-market is focused on financial use cases, the core technology behind Twisp is a fundamentally new way of thinking about the cloud as an operating system. We work to deliver the strongest security, integrity, and availability guarantees required for financial transactions, all on top of managed cloud services.

The practice of implementing strong guarantees within our distributed system architecture presents unique engineering challenges and complex tradeoffs. We underwrite those guarantees with a culture of engineering rigor appropriate for the most critical systems.

We strive to resolve the challenges faced by our customers into simple primitives and mental models that help developers build highly reliable systems, and we ask our engineering team to think deeply about how our decisions will impact developer experience.

We’re building a team of experts in distributed concurrency control and large scale data and compute systems who will drive Twisp closer to provable and verified correctness. We encourage participation in state-of-the-art academic and industry research related to our mission.

As a Distributed Systems Engineer you will be a leading individual contributor to the transaction and data layers that provide the guarantees at the core of Twisp.
