Software Engineering Lead (Product-Focused, FinTech)
Join a fast-growing fintech building a modern platform that opens up access to private markets for wealth managers and investment firms. It's a complex, high-impact product solving real-world problems in an underserved space.
We're looking for a product-minded Engineering Lead to own a cross-functional squad and drive meaningful business outcomes.
What you'll do
- Lead a small team within a product squad, partnering closely with Product & Design
- Shape roadmap, not just deliver it-owning both the what and the how
- Translate strategy into scalable, well-architected solutions
- Stay hands-on where needed-coaching, unblocking, and raising engineering standards
- Improve how software gets built (tooling, workflows, AI adoption)
What we're looking for
- Experience leading engineers in product-driven teams
- Strong track record of delivering customer and commercial impact
- Solid system design + modern full-stack or backend experience
- Pragmatic, outcome-focused mindset
Why join?
Real ownership, strong product culture, and the chance to build a category-defining fintech product from the inside.
