About the role
Own Outcomes. Accountable for results, not activity. Ownership does not end when code is merged, a ticket is closed, or a project is handed off. Managers own team execution. Project leads own project outcomes. Engineers own the quality and impact of their work. The business experiences outcomes, not tickets.
What they're looking for
- Experience: 5+ years of software engineering, including 2+ years leading teams of ~3–8 engineers (or equivalent scope), ideally in a startup or SaaS environment
- Technical Leadership: Proven ability to lead design reviews, enforce engineering standards, and prototype in Python/Django (or a comparable backend stack). Comfortable on systems where correctness and reliability are not optional
- People Development: Experience mentoring engineers through 1:1s, setting growth goals against a leveling matrix, handling performance issues directly, and hiring
- Delivery Excellence: Track record of shipping on commitments, creating clarity from ambiguity, and running a healthy SDLC without turning process into the product
- Experience in fintech, payments, card issuing, wallets, or benefits platforms — especially ledgers, authorization/decisioning, or money movement
- Experience owning high-integrity backend systems (financial, eligibility, identity, or large-scale integrations) where small mistakes have real customer or money impact
