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.
