Required

Seasoned product + fintech tech leader (CTO/VP Eng/Head of Engineering) who's built and scaled product-led SaaS in regulated, high-trust environments and is hungry to shape what fintech becomes next

Future-facing architecture mindset: designs cloud-native, modular platforms (APIs, event-driven systems, automation/AI-ready foundations) that can evolve fast as new rails, standards, and customer expectations emerge

Builder of pacey, modern engineering orgs: creates teams that ship continuously, learn fast, and raise the bar, without burning out or losing quality

Cross-functional catalyst: aligns Product, Design, Data, Ops, and Commercial around a clear technical narrative; turns ambiguity into an execution plan people believe in

Security, privacy, and compliance as product strengths: treats GDPR and data protection as table stakes, and uses robust controls to unlock partnerships and scale

Pragmatic innovator: balances experimentation with operational excellence. Knows when to prototype, when to harden, and how to manage trade-offs across speed, cost, reliability, and long-term maintainability

Comfortable as the external technology voice: can explain strategy and risk clearly to investors, partners, customers, and candidates and make the company's technical ambition feel credible

Entrepreneurial, mission-driven fit: excited to build the next generation of tools for self-employed professionals and small businesses, and to rally teams around testing new approaches and technologies that genuinely move the needle
