We’re looking for an experienced Head of Engineering to lead our engineering team, working remotely. Reporting to the CTO, you’ll take on the day-to-day leadership of a team of around nine engineers (plus contractors), sitting alongside our product function within the wider product and engineering team.
This is primarily a leadership and people role, focused on the “how” – how we build, how the system should evolve, and how the team works together and grows – complementing the product team’s focus on the “what” and “why”. You will be joining a team with strong technical ownership and autonomy, so we’re looking for a leader to keep building on the team’s strengths. We’re proud of a collaborative, high-autonomy, no-blame culture, and we are looking for someone to support and develop our people.
Need to haves:
• Proven experience leading and line-managing engineering teams in a supportive, empowering style.
• A strong technical background and credibility – able to engage confidently in technical and architectural discussions and support the team’s decisions (day-to-day hands-on coding is not required).
• A track record of developing people, giving good feedback and building clear career progression.
• The ability to integrate seamlessly into an established, high-performing team – building on its strengths rather than driving a full turnaround.
• Excellent communication, and comfort both challenging and being challenged openly across the organisation.
• Experience turning technical initiatives into prioritised, business-justified projects and convincing a reasonable, engaged team to back them.
• A solid understanding of modern software development practices, including working with AI code assistants.
Nice to haves:
• Prior experience in fintech, lending, or other regulated industries.
• Familiarity with our stack (PHP/Laravel and Kotlin microservices, GraphQL, and a Flutter mobile app) or comparable technologies.
• Experience in a scale-up or early-stage company where you’ve helped shape engineering culture.
• Exposure to incident management and engineering-quality practices.
