"Your company builds payment infrastructure used by thousands of merchants — I've worked on reconciliation and settlement for 3 years, so the domain is familiar and I want to go deeper. The role focuses on .NET services on Azure with high transaction volumes, which matches my experience and is where I want to grow. And from your engineering blog, the focus on observability and automated testing is how I like to work."
