About the role

  • Strategic People Management: Lead career development (IDP) for engineers at different levels, including support for technical references (Staffs and Principals), ensuring a learning culture and low dependence on tactical leadership.
  • Operational and Agile Efficiency: Restructure the team’s modus operandi, eliminate inefficient meetings and ensure ceremonies (such as dailies and refinements) are outcome-driven and produce clear outputs.
  • Business Liaison: Act as the primary link between engineering and stakeholders (PMs and business areas), helping define priorities, manage expectations and instill a sense of urgency.
  • Metrics Governance: Establish and track high-performance indicators such as throughput, reduction of bugs and commit frequency, promoting team self-sufficiency.

Requirements

  • Proven track record in leading engineering teams in growth environments (scale-ups or fintechs).
  • Prior experience as a developer (Tech Lead, Staff or SME) to provide technical credibility in architecture discussions.
