About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Stand up a second, AI-forward engineering practice — hire, structure, and lead the team responsible for delivering Flexi’s next-generation platform
Own delivery of the next-generation platform end to end, from architecture through development, QA, release, and ongoing operation
Operate as a hands-on player-coach: stay in the architecture and the code, contribute directly, review your team’s work, and lift the bar by example — not from a distance
Lead the team’s use of AI to accelerate delivery, embedding AI across coding, code review, testing, and documentation, and pushing aggressively for speed without sacrificing quality
Build on modern web-based technologies — JavaScript, HTML, React, Vite, and similar — backed by Microsoft SQL Server, with a strong focus on application and database performance
Hold the new practice to the enterprise standards expected of financial institutions: security, reliability, resilience, data integrity, and the controls our regulated customers depend on
Partner with the CTO to define architecture standards, platform direction, and how the new practice integrates with Flexi’s existing C++/C# and DevOps environment
Establish sound engineering discipline from day one — coding standards, testing, CI/CD, observability, and release practices — for a team being built from the ground up
Manage cloud platforms and cloud spend; make sound build-versus-buy decisions and optimize cost without compromising scalability, security, or reliability
Hire, onboard, and develop engineers; coach toward strong technical careers and identify the team’s future technical leaders
Define and own engineering KPIs around delivery velocity, system reliability, performance, quality, and cost efficiency
Partner closely with Product to turn the roadmap into shipped customer-facing software

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in software engineering, computer science, or a related technical field — or equivalent practical experience
10+ years in software engineering and architecture, with deep, current, hands-on coding ability — this is a player-coach role
5+ years leading technical teams, including direct experience hiring and building an engineering team from the ground up
Strong hands-on depth in modern web-based development — JavaScript, HTML, React, Vite, and related front-end technologies — and the APIs and services behind them
Solid experience with Microsoft SQL Server and a track record of building for application and database performance at scale
Proven, hands-on experience as an aggressive, AI-forward engineering leader who has measurably accelerated delivery using AI tooling, with a clear point of view on how to push velocity while protecting quality
Demonstrated ability to deliver software to the standards expected in regulated, high-trust environments — security, reliability, resilience, and data integrity (banking, insurance, financial services, or similar)
Strong technical depth across modern software architecture, cloud platforms, DevOps, and CI/CD; comfort integrating with existing C++/C# systems
Experience managing cloud platforms and cloud spend, including cost optimization and build-versus-buy decisions
Strong judgment in technical decision-making, cost tradeoffs, risk management, and execution planning
Excellent communication skills with executives, product leaders, engineers, and business stakeholders
Experience with ERP, accounting, financial, or other enterprise systems of record is highly desirable, especially B2B enterprise software
