This is a hands-on leadership role, not a pure management or architecture position. Your time will be roughly split like this:


Share of time

Leading the team ~30%

Solution design ~30%

Hands-on coding ~30%

Deployment and infrastructure~10%


What you'll work on

Engineering and delivery

• Writing production code in Python and Node.js

• Rolling out new features across our internal and partner-facing platforms, including our CRM and partner portal

• Continuously improving existing systems for performance, reliability and code quality

• Reviewing code and setting engineering standards for the team


Infrastructure and cloud

• Maintaining and upgrading our infrastructure, including a planned move to a major cloud platform

• Owning deployments and production stability together with the team

• Working with event-driven and messaging systems (NATS today, Kafka planned)


Team leadership

• Leading and mentoring a team of 3 to 5 engineers

• Planning and prioritising work, unblocking the team, and making sure things ship

• Building a culture of ownership, clear documentation and quality


What we're looking for

• 5 to 8 years of software engineering experience, with hands-on coding in your recent roles

• Strong command of Python and Node.js

• Proven experience designing and building backend systems and microservices that run in production

• Hands-on experience deploying and running workloads on at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP)

• Solid working knowledge of PostgreSQL

• Experience with messaging or event streaming systems such as NATS, Kafka or RabbitMQ

• Experience leading or mentoring a small engineering team

• Comfort estimating effort, breaking down features and planning delivery

• Enough understanding of AI/ML systems to guide their solution design and integration

• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders


Good to have

• Experience working at a fintech, lending or financial services company

• Hands-on experience with Kafka

• Experience leading an infrastructure upgrade or cloud migration

• Experience building or scaling CRM or partner-facing portal products


Why Join Us?


  • Build a growing lending-tech platform: Play a key role in shaping the technology behind a growing financial services business.
  • Own technical decisions: Contribute directly to architecture, engineering standards, and technology direction.
  • Stay hands-on: Combine solution design and technical leadership with meaningful coding responsibilities.
  • Work with emerging technologies: Collaborate with AI/ML engineers and contribute to evolving platform capabilities.
  • Lead and grow a team: Mentor engineers and help build a strong engineering culture as the technology function scales.

Why this role exists 

Most systems work at a low scale. 

Very few survive real production load, complex workflows, and enterprise edge cases. 

We are building a platform that must: 

  1. Scale from 500K → 20M+ interactions/month 
  2. Handle complex insurance workflows reliably 
  3. Become easier to deploy as it grows, not harder 
  4.  
  5. This role exists to build the backend foundation that makes this possible. 

 

What you’ll do 

You will not just write services. 

You will design and own core platform systems. 

 

1. Scale the platform without breaking architecture 

  1. Scale from 50K → 4M+ interactions/month 
  2. Ensure: 
  3. High availability 
  4. Low latency 
  5. Fault tolerance 
  6. Avoid large rewrites — build systems that evolve cleanly 

 

2. Build the workflow automation (WA) engine 

  1. Design a flexible system with: 
  2. States 
  3. Stages 
  4. Cohorts 
  5. Dynamic workflows 
  6. Ensure workflows: 
  7. Handle edge cases reliably 
  8. Can be configured easily 
  9. Move from: 
  10. Hardcoded flows → configurable execution engine 

 

3. Build the insurance-specific data layer 

  1. Design data models for: 
  2. Policy states 
  3. Claim workflows 
  4. Consent tracking 
  5. Ensure the system works across: 
  6. Multiple insurers 
  7. Multiple use cases 
  8. Build a platform-first data layer, not use-case-specific hacks 

 

4. Make deployment and setup simple 

  1. Ensure workflows and data models are: 
  2. Easy to configure 
  3. Easy to launch 
  4. Reduce friction for: 
  5. Product teams 
  6. Deployment teams 

 

5. Create a compounding data advantage 

  1. Build a data layer that: 
  2. Improves with every deployment 
  3. Captures structured signals 
  4. Ensure data becomes a long-term edge, not just storage 

 

6. Own production reliability 

  1. Participate in on-call rotation across 3 engineers 
  2. Ensure: 
  3. Incidents are handled quickly 
  4. Root causes are fixed permanently 
  5. Build systems where reliability is shared, not individual 

 

What success looks like 

  1. Platform scales to 2M+ interactions/month smoothly 
  2. Workflow engine supports complex, dynamic use cases 
  3. Data layer enables fast deployment across accounts 
  4. Edge cases are handled without constant firefighting 
  5. System becomes easier to use as it grows 
  6. Production issues are rare and predictable 

 

Who you are 

 

  1. You have built: 
  2. Scalable systems 
  3. Distributed services 
  4. You think in: 
  5. Systems 
  6. Data models 
  7. Trade-offs 
  8. You are comfortable owning: 
  9. Architecture 
  10. Production systems 

 

What will make you stand out 

  1. Experience building: 
  2. Workflow engines 
  3. State machines 
  4. Data-heavy platforms 
  5. Strong understanding of: 
  6. System design 
  7. Distributed systems 
  8. Failure handling 
  9. Experience working in: 
  10. High-scale production environments 

 

Why join 

  1. You will build the core backend of an AI platform 
  2. Your work directly impacts: 
  3. Scale 
  4. Reliability 
  5. Product capability 
  6. You will design systems that move from: 
  7. Use-case specific → platform-level infrastructure 

 

What this role is not 

  1. Not just API development 
  2. Not limited to feature-level work 
  3. Not disconnected from production realities 

 

What this role is 

  1. A system architect 
  2. A builder of scalable platforms 
  3. A driver of long-term technical advantage 


One question to self-evaluate 

Can you design backend systems that scale, handle edge cases, and become easier to use as they grow?
