Engineering Lead (C#/.Net)

This range is provided by WeDo. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more.

Working Model: Remote First (London HQ – 1 day per month in office).

Wedo has partnered with a payments‑led FinTech powering embedded finance for global platforms. The engine processes £9bn+ and they’ve now hit the inflection point where startup scrappiness must evolve into scalable, repeatable engineering. They recently hired a VP of Engineering (ex ClearScore, Depop, Google) and we’ve already placed three EL/EMs into the organisation; now they need their fourth to complete the leadership layer – someone technical, steady, mature, and able to coach a team while still understanding architecture deeply.

The Role

Lead a squad of 5–6 engineers delivering the backbone of their platform – scalable, API‑first, event‑driven systems in C#/.NET. This is still a technical role in the sense the engineering leader is at the face of system design, architectural decisions, distributed patterns, and microservices. You’ll shape engineering standards, improve delivery predictability, and bring leadership depth to a strong but relatively homegrown team.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading and developing a team of 5–6 engineers (coaching, feedback, progression).
• Driving delivery in C#/.NET microservices with event‑driven and domain‑driven design.
• Owning architecture and systems design at both high and low level.
• Raising the bar across CI/CD, testing, secure development, observability and reliability.
• Working with Data Science & Product to ship intelligent funding and risk features.
• Navigating ambiguity to create clarity where specs aren’t final.
• Prioritising customer impact above process theatre.
• Hands‑on when needed, but defaulting to enabling others to be better than you alone.

What Good Looks Like

Technical Signals

• Strong C#/.NET engineering background (non‑negotiable).
• Solid judgement in system design, trade‑offs, performance + reliability.
• Understands CI/CD, security, testing maturity, operational readiness.
• Can go hands‑on but doesn’t need to in order to lead.

Leadership Signals

• Calm under pressure, low‑ego, pragmatic.
• Coaches rather than commands and raises the technical bar through people.
• Has led teams in at least two organisations (seen good + bad).
• Comfortable without delivery managers – engineering owns delivery.
• Makes decisions with data, measures team health beyond “vibes”.

Cultural Fit

• Curious, humble, patient, commercially aware.
• Product‑centric.
• Thrives in scale‑up uncertainty, brings order without becoming process‑police.
• Infra: AWS (EKS), Docker, Terraform.
• FE: Angular (not essential for you).

If you want to lead from the front, shape a scale‑up heading toward a big end goal, and build a team that delivers with accountability and flow this one is worth a conversation.
