Senior Full-Stack Engineer - FinCrimes

Standing in the crisp air of the alpine tundra, a mountain goat surveys the expansive wilderness. To its right craggy slopes plunge down toward rolling grassy hills and energetic streams. To its left the weight of the mountain looms, timeless and stoic. Confident and sure-footed the goat leaps from stone outcrops to gentle slopes - not in defiance of the risks posed by the mountain, but with respect and a self-assuredness born of experience, caution, and a carefully selected path.
