Aryeh Stiefel is a Staff Software Engineer based in the New York City area with 11 years of experience building high-performance, payment and fintech-focused systems. He has led end-to-end monetization features at scale—driving billions in annual transactions—and championed global payment integrations and checkout optimizations that materially improved conversion. Aryeh combines strong backend architecture (event-driven microservices, Kafka, FIX integrations) with modern frontend practice (React, TypeScript, Vite) and pragmatic DevOps (Kubernetes deployments, build/test speedups). He’s adept at turning compliance constraints into product-friendly solutions, for example designing hosted fields to preserve PCI compliance while enabling merchant customization. A former quantative engineering lead in investment banking, he pairs financial domain expertise with hands-on product delivery across mobile, web, and serverless platforms. Outside core product work he’s improved developer experience at scale—creating team-wide linting rules and build migrations that eliminated thousands of quality issues and cut CI times significantly.
