Job Summary

Engineering Manager. A team of strong engineers is the easy part. Building a team that ships fast, argues well, and holds its own bar without being asked to-that's the job. Engineering here isn't executing a roadmap someone else wrote. It's deciding what gets built, what gets killed, and where AI actually changes the game for a platform handling sensitive financial data at real scale.

What You'll Own

- Team Leadership People Growth: Lead, mentor, and coach a team of backend, frontend, and full-stack engineers. Own career growth for your team - structured feedback, development plans, and technical guidance that actually changes how people work. Grow senior engineers into tech leads and future managers, and give your strongest people problems worth staying for. Hire senior engineers independently and hold the bar, even when the pressure is to fill the seat. Instill a culture of high ownership, technical rigor, and intellectual honesty about tradeoffs where the team takes calculated risks without fearing failure.
- Technical Direction: Set and drive the technical roadmap for your area in partnership with Product and Design. Make architectural decisions that balance speed with long-term scalability and be explicit about what you're trading away when you choose. Dive deep into code when it matters-debugging, reviewing critical paths, unblocking engineers on hard problems. Maintain high standards for system design, performance, observability, and reliability across a fintech-grade platform handling sensitive financial data. Bring AI into how the team builds code generation, review,



testing with a clear view of where it adds velocity and where it quietly adds risk.
- Execution Excellence: Deliver high-quality features on time across multiple parallel workstreams. Establish engineering processes that hold under pressure: code reviews, incident postmortems, testing culture, release pipelines. Partner closely with product managers to shape problem statements, not just execute solutions. Build the tracking and accountability mechanisms that make your team's execution predictable. Ensure engineering output translates directly into business outcomes and a better client experience.

What Were Looking For

- 8-10 years of total experience in software engineering
- 2-3+ years managing teams of 8+ engineers, with proven success leading senior talent
- Robust technical depth in one or more of: distributed systems, backend architectures, API design
- Experience shipping products at scale in fast-paced product/tech organisations (fintech a plus)
- Ability to influence architecture and drive high-quality systems end to end
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering workflows youve used them and you know their limits
- Strong communication skills and the ability to align cross-functional stakeholders
- A builders mindset pragmatic, data-driven, and comfortable navigating ambiguity
