About the Role
This role leads the Banking and FX tribe, which owns payment processing, FX pricing and trading, the ledger, reconciliation, bank integrations, FIX engine connectivity, payment compliance, and the client portal. You will manage six to eight engineers and own the tribe's delivery and OKRs. You'd work with product, design and stakeholders across the business to turn client problems into things we actually ship and support. This is not a fully hands-on role, but you need to be technical enough to help your team when they need it, review code, and break the tie when a decision has to be made.
Responsibilities
- Own delivery and OKRs for the tribe, including forecasting, sequencing, and early communication of delays.
- Collaborate with product, design, and stakeholders to translate client problems into shipped software.
- Implement agile practices that foster agility, such as small changes, short feedback loops, and adaptability.
- Manage upwards by keeping leadership and relevant parties informed early, especially with negative news.
- Lead a team of six to eight engineers, managing one-on-ones, progression, performance, hiring, and onboarding.
- Set high standards and mentor individuals for growth through honest feedback, design, and code reviews.
- Demonstrate urgency and ownership to set the team's tone, prioritizing progress and completion.
- Guide technical direction with senior engineers, facilitating discussions, breaking ties, and documenting decisions.
- Maintain quality and testing standards, emphasizing doing things right the first time.
- Enhance the team's security posture regarding access control and incident response.
- Oversee the production operation of the tribe's services, including incident response, on-call health, and observability.
- Define the team's approach to AI, leveraging tools like Claude Code effectively.
- Liaise with compliance and risk teams to ensure evidence for changes affecting money movement and advocate for process improvements.
Requirements
- Experience leading and managing engineers, including hiring, performance management, and difficult conversations.
- Strong proficiency in C#, Azure, and SQL, with sufficient depth for design reviews and technical discussions.
- Proven track record of delivery in a team managing business-critical services in production.
- Comfort with asynchronous, event-driven systems and their failure modes.
- Product-mindedness, with the ability to articulate the client value of work.
- Tolerance for ambiguity, with the capacity to absorb it rather than solely delegate it.
- Ability to uphold technical standards while allowing the team to make independent decisions.
- Hands-on experience building software with AI.
- Background in regulated industries with a need for evidence in financial transactions.
- Eligibility to work in the UK.
- Willingness to undergo full background checks.
