We are seeking a senior systems architect or technical team to design, build, containerize, and operate the production backend for a real-time anomaly detection and threat-scoring platform for financial transactions.

This is not a proof-of-concept or an experimental sandbox. The final deliverable must be a fully hardened, real-time, fault-tolerant system built to run in live enterprise environments.

*System Overview* The backend framework must: - Ingest and process high-velocity transaction data continuously and without lag - Detect irregular behavior using trained machine learning models, not static or hardcoded heuristics - Publish live threat-assessment metrics through fast, low-latency endpoints - Meet demanding throughput, response-time, and scaling requirements

Placeholder code, hardcoded logic, synthetic mock data, or simulated streaming endpoints will be treated as an automatic project default.
