About the role

  • Leading engineering efforts for compliance teams at Elliptic, tackling financial crime in crypto. Overseeing product development, team mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Write and review code to unblock the team, demonstrate best practices, and pair with engineers to share knowledge and tackle challenging problems.
  • Help your team make sound technical decisions by weighing trade-offs and choosing approaches that balance technical quality with business objectives.
  • Work closely with Product and other stakeholders to make sure the team is focused on the work that matters most.
  • Help team members find their own solutions — building problem-solving skills and creating a self-sufficient, resilient team.
  • Provide system context and overviews to new team members, accelerating their onboarding and productivity.
  • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to engineers, managers, and business stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Team leadership experience — you've led or mentored a small engineering team (roughly 3–6 people) and helped engineers grow in their careers.
  • Strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills across backend (Node.js) and frontend (React) development. Familiarity with frameworks like NestJS or Redux is a plus.
  • Architectural thinking — you've designed scalable UI applications and APIs, and you're comfortable making informed decisions about technology choices and patterns.
  • Delivery track record — you've led technical initiatives end-to-end, driving collaboration and maintaining high engineering standards.
  • Clear communication — you can explain technical ideas so that everyone from engineers to product managers stays aligned.
  • Experience with data visualisation, particularly libraries or tools for rendering network graphs or complex data flows.
  • Familiarity with cloud technologies such as AWS Serverless, API Gateway, Kubernetes, or Terraform.
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools like Datadog.
  • Interest or experience in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology — though we're happy to help you learn.

  • £500 Remote working budget to set up your home office space
