Head of Engineering managing integrations and data platform for AI - driven fintech healthcare startup. Leading high - velocity engineering teams and shaping long - term strategies while reporting to the CTO.
About the role
- Head of Engineering leading a high-performing engineering organization at a fintech company providing capital to SMEs. Overseeing system design, technical direction, and AI tooling adoption.
Responsibilities
- Lead Engineering Strategy & Team Build and develop a high-performing engineering organisation of 15+ engineers and engineering managers. Strengthen the culture, processes, and communication discipline that enable autonomous, high-quality delivery across distributed EU/UK/US timezones. You'll own engineering career frameworks, manager development, and the hiring bar.
- Own Technical Architecture Partner with the CTO to set and enforce technical direction across the full platform stack. Lead architecture reviews, own governance frameworks, and make consequential build/buy/integrate decisions, particularly as we modernise underwriting automation and onboard new marketplace data partners. You'll be the person who identifies structural fragility before it becomes operational risk.
- Drive AI-Powered Productivity Lead the organisation's adoption of AI tooling across the full development lifecycle: code generation, testing, documentation, and incident response. Set expectations, track impact, and make high-leverage AI usage a team norm rather than an individual habit. You'll have a credible, hands-on point of view here, not a delegated one.
- Enforce Engineering Discipline Own delivery cadences, planning hygiene, cross-squad coordination, and accountability structures. Build the processes that keep a fast-moving team aligned without bureaucracy. Establish and maintain clear ownership boundaries across squads to prevent fragmentation and information silos.
- Enable Cross-functional Impact Partner with Risk, Product, and Operations to ensure engineering output translates directly into business outcomes: faster credit decisions, higher automation rates, and new partner integrations. Assess the cost and feasibility of new technical initiatives and communicate tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Requirements
- 10+ years in engineering roles, with at least 3 leading engineering managers in high-growth environments
- Proven track record delivering complex, distributed systems in production; fintech, marketplace, or other data-intensive domains strongly preferred
- Deep fluency with GCP, Kubernetes, BigQuery, and event-driven architectures; you can hold your own in a system design review with a senior engineer
- Strong understanding of API integrations, automated data pipelines, and the infrastructure tradeoffs that matter at scale
- Active, hands-on user of AI development tooling with demonstrated experience scaling adoption across a team
- Ability to balance immediate delivery pressure with long-term architectural health and communicate that balance clearly upward
- Commercial acumen to assess the engineering cost of new initiatives against their business value
- Experience operating in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments is a strong plus
- Low tolerance for ambiguous ownership, process theatre, and information silos; you build systems that eliminate them.
Benefits
- Unlimited holiday: we believe that well-rested and happy people make the best employees
- Competitive compensation plan
- MacBook
- Personal growth fund: Raise your game from great to spectacular
- Monthly recognition and awards: Celebrate wins big and small
- The opportunity to make a big impact every day on the lives of European and US entrepreneurs.
- Workspaces in Warsaw, London and Atlanta
