This role is a great fit for a strong Middle+ / Senior Full-Stack Developer who has some experience leading a small team or project and wants to grow further into a Technical Lead role.
You don’t need to have years of formal leadership experience. We value strong technical fundamentals, ownership, good judgment and the ability to bring clarity to the team.
You will work closely with the Product Manager, who owns what we build and why. You will focus on how we build it, how work is organized and how we get it shipped.

Make pragmatic technical and architectural decisions
Break requirements into clear development tasks and estimates
Help plan and run two-week development cycles
Distribute work and keep an eye on delivery and technical risks
Review code and maintain engineering standards
Unblock developers and help resolve technical issues
Coordinate development with product and design
Take ownership of release readiness and technical delivery
Support and mentor developers as the team grows

Strong commercial experience as a Full-Stack Developer
Good knowledge of TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL
Experience with React Native is a plus
Some experience leading a project, feature or small development team
Good understanding of software architecture and technical trade-offs
Ability to turn requirements into practical technical tasks
Comfortable with code reviews and technical discussions
Good written and spoken English
Strong ownership and a willingness to take responsibility
Important for this role:
Our product involves financial transactions and reconciliation, so understanding of ledger-based systems and double-entry accounting principles is important.
You don’t need to come from fintech, but you should be comfortable learning the domain and working with systems where data consistency and traceability matter.
Nice to have:
Previous Team Lead / Tech Lead experience
Fintech or payments experience
Experience with banks, payment providers or other external integrations
Startup experience
Familiarity with CI/CD, Jira, Confluence or Figma
Who we’re looking for:
You might be a great fit if you’re a strong developer who is already starting to take the lead helping teammates, making technical decisions and taking ownership of delivery and you’re ready to make the next step toward Technical Lead.
You don’t need to know everything on day one. We care more about your technical judgment, ownership and potential than a specific job title or number of years of experience.
What we offer:
Real technical ownership from an early stage
A small, autonomous development team
Hands-on work this is not a pure management role
Close collaboration with Product and Design
Opportunity to grow into a full Technical Lead role
The chance to help build a fintech product from MVP to launch
Minimal process and a strong focus on getting things shipped
If you’re a strong engineer who is ready to take the next step toward technical leadership, we’d love to hear from you.
