Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Software Engineer role at your Sydney team. Five years building production fintech and product systems — most recently leading the core payments service at a Sydney fintech — have given me strong technical depth and the regulatory awareness Australian fintech demands.

My current role has me owning the payments service and leading ASIC AFS compliance work. Earlier, at a Sydney SaaS startup, I owned three microservices in the customer-data platform. I have Australian PR and am open to Sydney office, hybrid, or remote-Australia.

Kind regards,
[Your Name]
