Short, specific, personal. Drafted together, sent by you.
Hi Ananya — I saw Meridian is scaling its settlement platform. I spent the last three
years building payment-reconciliation services handling ~2M transactions/day, including
an 18% cut in failed settlements. I was part of a recent layoff and can join
immediately — would love 15 minutes to see if there's a fit for the Senior Backend role.
