Job description
We’re looking for a

hands‑on Technical Lead

who can both

build and guide —someone comfortable writing production code while also making architectural decisions and helping a small team deliver high‑quality software.

The product spans multiple platforms:

iOS (Swift)

Android (Kotlin)

Web (React)

Backend (Python + FastAPI, Postgres, AWS)

This is an

early engineering leadership role

where you’ll help define architecture, set engineering standards, and lead delivery of a

secure, performant financial product handling real money internationally . The problem space includes payments, compliance, integrity, and latency—this is not a simple CRUD application.

You’ll work closely with product, design, and operations, and directly with the founders. As the team grows, this role can expand into broader engineering leadership across platforms—but it starts with

hands‑on execution .

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading by example: writing production code across backend and at least one client platform

Defining system architecture and making pragmatic technical tradeoffs

Owning delivery of features across mobile, web, and backend systems

Designing and maintaining systems for

payments, ledgering, fraud controls, and AML workflows

Ensuring the product is

secure, reliable, and scalable

in real‑world financial environments

Mentoring engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and hands‑on collaboration

Working closely with founders to translate product goals into technical execution

Must‑Haves

Experience at

fintech, payments, banking, crypto, remittances, or lending startups

Deep, hands‑on experience with

Anti‑Fraud, AML, ledgering, and payments orchestration

7–10 years building and shipping

consumer‑facing mobile and/or web applications

Meaningful full‑stack exposure (e.g.,

React/TypeScript, Python, Go/Rust, Postgres, AWS, CI/CD )

Proven ability to

lead technically : making architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, and driving outcomes

Strong systems thinking with an eye toward performance, security, and correctness

This role is best suited for leaders who still

enjoy being close to the code , especially in fast‑moving startup environments.

Nice‑to‑Haves

Experience building products for

Latin American markets

Deep background in

financial technology or payments

Strong product intuition and design sensibility across platforms

Prior experience scaling early‑stage engineering teams

What This Role Is (and Isn’t)

✅ A

hands‑on technical leadership role , not a pure management position

✅ Direct ownership over architecture and delivery

✅ Startup environment with real product and real constraints

❌ Not a high‑level enterprise or megacorp leadership role

❌ Not suitable for candidates far removed from day‑to‑day coding

❌ Not a single‑discipline role (mobile‑only or backend‑only)

Location & Work Setup

Location:

San Francisco

Work model:

In‑office

Relocation:

Open to relocation (no relocation assistance)

Visa sponsorship:

Available
