🧠 About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Finance Tech team, with at least 5 years of experience leading multiple teams and directly managing other managers. This isn’t just about people management. It’s about being a technical enabler, an owner of your systems, and a strategic partner for our finance team.
You’ll lead a multidisciplinary squad of software engineers working at the heart of seQura’s financial operations. From internal tooling to core banking operations and accounting systems, you’ll own the architecture, security, and performance of the services that power our financial backbone.
You’ll be trusted to shape how money flows through our platform — building the infrastructure that keeps us scalable, auditable, and future-ready (multiple countries, currencies, and companies).
You’ll help us do this by combining technical leadership, regulatory awareness, and a strong product mindset. You’ll be a builder who leads and a leader who builds.

🌟 How you lead

Outcome-driven

• You solve real user and business problems. You’re not here to build for the sake of building.

High-agency

• You spot problems and fix them. You don’t wait for permission — you move.

Team enabler

• You lift others through clarity, code, and care. Shared success matters more to you than being right.

Collaborative by default

• You believe great products happen when engineers, product, design, and business build together.

🚀 Where you’ll make an impact

Lead with clarity and courage

• Act like an owner. When something’s unclear, broken, or missing — you move. You lead by example, with openness and humility, and bring clarity in ambiguity.

Coach and enable your team

• Champion a culture of growth. You’ll make others better through constant coaching, mentorship, and by seeking and sharing feedback — which we see as a gift. You’ll lead by example and make learning a daily practice for the whole team. Build psychological safety and shared accountability.

Own the system

• You’ll design, evolve, and maintain our core financial systems — from architecture to observability. Make sure they’re auditable, scalable, and built to last.

Work across teams

• You’ll partner closely with Finance, Data, and Product, treating our internal finance and ops teams as your primary users. Your mission: understand their struggles and build solutions that eliminate friction and help them scale.

Focus on outcomes, not output

• You’ll lead with impact in mind: ship iteratively, learn fast, and raise the bar on code quality, testing, and resilience.

Drive for sustainable impact

• Focus the team on long-term value. Balance delivery pressure with platform health. Champion a disciplined, ambitious, and sustainable way of working. We believe our best work happens when we’re supported and well-rested — not when we’re playing heroes.

Balance speed and compliance

• You’ll bring discipline to how we build. Ensure everything meets financial regulations and data protection laws while keeping developer velocity high.

🧩 What you’ll need

Wide experience in regulated environments (MUST)

• You’ve been an Engineering Manager or Tech Lead in FinTech, banking, or similarly strict domains. You have wide experience in regulated environments, but also know how to ship fast while playing by the rules.

Strong technical foundation

• You’ve worked with Ruby on Rails or similar ecosystems (Python, Kotlin, Elixir, Java, JS). You understand system design, clean code, and DevOps culture.

Great practices, always

• TDD, pairing, continuous refactoring, code reviews, and CI/CD aren’t just buzzwords — they’re how you work.

End-to-end ownership mindset

• You own what you build: from discovery to design, to delivery, to monitoring and maintenance.

Project delivery skills

• You’ve led complex projects with multiple stakeholders. You simplify, prioritise, and communicate clearly.

Communication skills

• You’re a clear, honest communicator. You write thoughtfully and use async communication to protect the team’s focus and flow.
