Head of Engineering

Head of Engineering | High-Growth Fintech Unicorn

NYC - Hybrid

We're partnering with one of the fastest-growing fintech companies - having achieved unicorn status and built a product that delivers meaningful impact to millions of customers globally, the business is entering its next phase of scale.

Backed by exceptional growth, strong product-market fit, and a leadership team that includes some of the industry's most accomplished operators, they're looking for a Head of Engineering to help shape the future of the company.

This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-led organisation solving real-world problems while building technology at significant scale.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join a high-growth fintech unicorn with ambitious plans for the next stage of expansion
• Work alongside some of the most respected leaders and builders in the fintech ecosystem
• Lead technology for a business delivering meaningful social impact at global scale
• Drive the adoption of AI and emerging technologies across products and operations
• Receive a highly competitive compensation package, including meaningful equity with significant upside potential
• Influence company strategy as a key member of the leadership team

The Opportunity

As Head of Engineering, you'll define the technology vision, scale a world-class engineering organisation, and help build the next generation of products that power the company's continued growth.

You'll partner directly with the executive team to drive innovation, accelerate delivery, and ensure the business remains at the forefront of technology and AI adoption.

What You'll Lead

• Engineering, Platform, DevOps, Security and Data functions
• A high-performing team of ~35 engineers with the opportunity to scale and evolve the organisation
• Technology strategy, architecture, and engineering excellence across the business
• AI initiatives that enhance both internal operations and customer-facing products
• Hiring, leadership development, and engineering culture
• Cross-functional collaboration across Product, Data, Operations and Executive Leadership

Who You Are

• A proven technology leader with experience scaling engineering teams in high-growth environments
• Passionate about building exceptional teams, products, and cultures
• Comfortable leading organisational transformation and driving technical excellence
• Commercially minded with the ability to align technology decisions to business outcomes
• Excited by the potential of AI and emerging technologies
• Motivated by the opportunity to combine commercial success with genuine customer impact

What's In It For You?

• Significant Equity Upside
• Direct Influence on Company Strategy
• Mission-Driven Business Creating Meaningful Impact
• Opportunity to Shape a Category-Defining Fintech Unicorn

For ambitious engineering leaders who want to build at scale, leverage AI, and leave a lasting impact, this is one of the most compelling opportunities in the market today.
