About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead, mentor, and grow the team, starting from one senior engineer, through regular 1:1s, feedback, and clear development paths
Set priorities, remove blockers, and act as the technical and organizational point of reference for the team
Drive technical and architectural decisions together with product and security, balancing long-term quality with short-term needs
Own end-to-end delivery: planning, prioritization, quality, and meeting deadlines, while managing technical risk
Stay hands-on in an AI-native way, using AI-assisted and agentic development to design, prototype, test, and ship product features, from broad concepts down to the small details, where the ability to deliver with AI matters more than the volume of code written by hand
Build software products that protect our customers from attacks and fraud at scale

Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience leading, mentoring, or growing engineers — formally or informally — and a genuine interest in people growth
Strong ownership of Agile ways of working and related tooling (Scrum, Kanban, Jira), from the perspective of someone who shapes the process, not just follows it
Solid command of version control (git) and related best practices (pull requests, git flow, etc.)
Experience designing RESTful APIs and microservices
Experience with containers and CI/CD tools
Solid grasp of testing methodologies and automation libraries
