About this role
Role overview
This role leads a high-performing engineering team responsible for building and scaling products used by millions of users throughout a regional market. The position blends hands-on technical leadership with people management, taking systems from idea through production while protecting both delivery speed and engineering quality. Work spans frontend, backend, mobile, and AI-integrated product surfaces, with a clear expectation that engineering decisions are tightly connected to customer and business outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Lead and develop a team of engineers across frontend, backend, and full-stack disciplines, providing coaching, feedback, performance management, and clear expectations. - Own engineering delivery for major product areas, shipping quickly without compromising reliability, scalability, or technical quality. - Drive technical architecture and engineering decisions across APIs, databases, distributed systems, integrations, infrastructure, and customer-facing systems. - Partner with product, design, mobile, backend, and AI teams to translate ambiguous product problems into focused technical execution. - Set engineering standards around code quality, system design, testing, observability, security, and production reliability, and stay close through architecture reviews, code reviews, and debugging. - Own outcomes beyond release: monitor systems, resolve incidents, identify root causes, and improve processes, tooling, and automation at scale.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering background with a record of building and shipping real production systems. - Prior experience leading engineers and being accountable for engineering delivery, not just people administration. - Technical depth in one or more of backend, frontend, APIs, databases, distributed systems, or cloud infrastructure. - Comfort making architecture and trade-off decisions that balance speed, scalability, and maintainability. - Strong people leadership skills, including coaching, performance management, and raising the team's execution bar. - Ownership mindset: takes responsibility when systems break or delivery slips, and drives them back on track.
Nice to have
- Experience working on AI-integrated products or on payments and financial applications. - Background operating in distributed, remote-first teams across multiple countries and time zones.
Benefits and work setup
- Fully remote role; hires globally and works across multiple countries and time zones. - English is the primary working language; strong written and spoken communication required. - Streamlined interview process (online assessment, technical/engineering leadership interview, final round), with offers typically extended within about one week for candidates who complete assessments quickly.
