Financial #Now Hiring Summary :

The Lead Software Engineer at autoMHatic Financial is a hands-on engineer and the technical backbone of our emerging engineering function. This is a builder’s role first and foremost: you will spend the majority of your time designing, coding, and reviewing the APIs, integrations, automations, and services that run our business. You will set the technical direction and quality bar for the team, and provide day-to-day technical guidance to a small group of offshore/nearshore developers who report to you, leading by building alongside them.

You will own delivery end-to-end across backend, frontend, data, and Dev Ops. You will serve as the primary technical point of contact for external partners and vendors, and work directly with the VP of Technology to turn business priorities into working software. As the team grows, you will help hire and mentor engineers and coordinate the offshore/nearshore developers, but this is a senior individual-contributor role, not a people-management seat: we are looking for a doer who elevates the team through their own engineering, code reviews, and technical standards.

The ideal candidate is a backend-leaning engineer who still loves to build, with a strong background in APIs and services, hands-on experience integrating Snowflake as a core data platform, and a track record

Responsibilities:

Serve as the hands-on technical lead for internal tools, integrations, automations, and services, personally writing production code and owning architecture, design, and code reviews.

Design, build, and maintain the APIs and integrations that connect internal systems, partner platforms, and our data platform (including Snowflake), owning them from first line of code through production support.

Act as the primary technical owner and main point of contact for external technology partners and vendors, leading integration design, implementation, and ongoing technical relationships.

Own end-to-end planning and delivery of engineering initiatives: define scope, estimates, milestones, and timelines; oversee execution; and manage launches and post-implementation follow-up.

Provide technical direction and day-to-day guidance to a small, primarily offshore/nearshore group of developers who report to you — setting standards, reviewing their code, unblocking them, and raising the quality bar by building alongside them.

Establish and run lightweight, effective engineering processes (SDLC, standards, branching, reviews, releases, incident response) and core team rituals (backlog grooming, sprint planning, standups, demos, retros).Collaborate closely with other business units to translate business needs into clear technical requirements and deliver solutions that materially improve efficiency and quality.

Drive engineering quality through appropriate testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, environment management, and pragmatic SRE/Dev Ops…
