About the Role

The Founders’ Lab turns ambitious, ambiguous ideas into financial products that can be tested with real users. You’ll combine software engineering and product judgement to move from executive vision to working software quickly, with ownership across the full product lifecycle.

Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with the CEO and global leadership to turn strategic visions and disruptive AI capabilities into functional, market-ready financial software in weeks, not quarters.
  • Shape product direction by synthesising business requirements, regulatory realities, user needs and emerging technology.
  • Run rapid proofs of concept, deploy products to live users, test market fit and balance fast iteration with sound technical foundations.
  • Deliver end-to-end solutions across the stack, from backend architecture and API design through to frontend polish, putting useful products in the hands of global users.
  • Build clean, maintainable software from ambiguous executive direction, with complete end-to-end ownership across both product and engineering.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong foundation in backend architecture and the ability to work confidently across the full stack when needed.
  • A track record of personally shipping products from scratch in a high-growth startup, corporate innovation lab or greenfield environment.
  • Strong product and commercial judgement, with the ability to challenge assumptions and evaluate technical decisions through the lens of user experience and business impact.
  • A pragmatic, resourceful approach to problem-solving, with a track record of finding creative paths around institutional and technical roadblocks.
  • Comfort working with high ambiguity and translating high-level strategic or executive direction into clean, maintainable software.
  • Experience building software that uses generative AI, large language models or intelligent workflow automation.
  • Experience in fintech, payments, compliance or money-movement infrastructure.
  • Experience as a startup founder, founding engineer or technical lead of a rapid-prototyping team.
  • Own the outcome and don't wait for permission to fix what's broken.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity; given a problem, not a prescription, and will run with it.
  • Default to action; prefer to course-correct in motion than wait for perfect clarity.
  • Not precious about ideas; push hard for what you believe in, but pivot fast when the data says otherwise.
  • Value in-person collaboration and are happy being in the office three days a week.
