Execution & Ownership: Work closely with Product Managers to manage project goals and timelines while proactively addressing technical debt, and enforcing best engineering practices. You are a driver, not an executor.
Client & Product Focus: Maintain a strong product mindset, deeply understanding our clients' needs, financial service industry, and the broader market landscape. You will propose new features and collaboratively shape the future direction of the product.

People Leadership: 3+ years of experience in people management, with a proven ability to build, retain, and constructively grow high-performance engineering teams.
Technical Depth: You possess a high technical bar and in-depth knowledge of how to build and scale a world-class, API-based financial service. You should be comfortable discussing and challenging decisions made by Senior+ engineers, and working with our tech stack: Java, Postgres, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Elastic.
Execution Mindset: Strong execution skills are paramount. This includes effective communication, stakeholder management (internal and external), and leveraging strategic thinking to solve problems and get things done.
Collaboration & Influence: Proven ability to lead complex projects involving multiple teams and external partners, demonstrating strong influencing and strategic thinking skills.
Customer Care: you deeply care about the customers experience and take pride in your and your team’s work that delivers a delightful experience.
