About the Job

Requirements

  • Proven experience managing and developing software engineering teams, with a track record of mentorship and high delivery standards.
  • A solid computer science foundation and hands-on credibility building and operating distributed systems at scale, including AWS, event-driven architecture, and APIs.
  • Ability to define an interview bar, run rigorous hiring processes, and close exceptional talent from scratch.
  • Hands-on use of AI coding tools and strong views on how teams can leverage AI for productivity and product capabilities.
  • Focus on client value and pragmatic scoping, with high discipline around money-movement systems such as idempotency and reconciliation.
  • Fluency in English and ability to articulate complex technical ideas and align cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build and grow the team by owning hiring end-to-end, setting high standards, and coaching engineers through actionable feedback, clear growth paths, and performance management.
  • Translate ambiguous business outcomes into clear roadmaps, sequence work, manage risk, and deliver reliably at a sustainable pace.
  • Guide architecture and design reviews for high-scale, event-driven transactional systems on AWS and BigQuery.
  • Partner closely with Product and Design to shape customer solutions and influence strategic trade-offs.
  • Ensure production-grade stability, humane on-call loads, testing standards, CI/CD, and strong observability.
  • Integrate AI tools into development workflows safely and effectively while maintaining complete ownership of shipped code.
  • Build robust, automated, multi-currency trade finance platforms that support the global supply chain.
  • Initially stay close to code through pairing, reviewing, and shipping, then focus on building people and systems as the team grows.
  • Build scalable, generalisable platforms rather than bespoke solutions, and address technical debt and feature flags alongside feature delivery.
  • Own client problems end-to-end across experience, APIs, data, and iteration.
  • Help shape the Madrid engineering hub's office culture, talent density, and engineering standards.

Desired Qualifications

  • Fintech, payments, or regulated-domain experience, or exposure to web and mobile channels.
