Tech Lead

As a Tech Lead, you’ve led offshore engineering teams. You thrive in a startup or scale-up environment. And you’re looking for that next step—an opportunity to shape a company’s entire technology strategy and leave a lasting imprint on a product used by thousands. This Technical Lead role offers precisely that.

My client is a well-backed and highly connected Fintech; the venture sits independently but firmly within the ecosystem of one of the world’s most successful FinTechs. This gives you both stability and autonomy in equal measure.

What the Tech Lead will be doing

• Leading and scaling a hybrid, offshore development team—owning delivery, mentoring and team development.
• Architecting the next generation of their microservices-based, serverless AWS platform.
• Working cross-functionally with product, design, testing and DevOps to deliver on ambitious OKRs.
• Representing engineering in key client meetings and helping shape business-critical features.
• Hands-on building with React, React Native, TypeScript, Node, Docker, Terraform and more.

What They’re Looking For

• 3+ years’ experience as a Technical Lead managing teams of 7+.
• Hands-on expertise with scalable, production-grade technology systems.
• Proven experience in a start-up or scale-up environment.
• A background in full-stack development and strong engineering fundamentals.
• Experience managing or establishing an offshore engineering capability.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary (discussed on application).
• Hybrid working (potentially remote with some travel)
• Chance to shape and scale an innovative product and team from the ground up.
• Backed by a globally recognised FinTech leader.
• A transparent, inclusive and respectful culture that values your autonomy and ideas.
