## 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
