  • Develop members of your team by teaching them the necessary skills to grow their career, promoting a culture of continuous learning and professional development.
  • Raise the bar for engineering excellence, reinforcing best practices and driving innovation within our organization.
About You

You'll be an exceptional fit for this role if you have:

  • A strong track record of leading complex transformations, with a proven ability to navigate ambiguity and drive results.
  • Experience working in startups, building and launching products, and scaling teams.
  • A deep understanding of fintech and challenger/neobank environments, with a passion for designing and engineering large-scale systems.
  • A strong technical background, including experience with TypeScript, React, styled-components, Python, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, MySQL, Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, and pytest.
