Head of Engineering – Financial Services & Fintech

We are looking for a solid technical contributor to lead and guide the engineering team. Your time will be split between hands‑on development work, managing the team of currently 3 engineers, and working closely with the Product team on roadmaps, initial estimations, and ways of working across the team.

This is a great opportunity if you’re either already an engineering manager but have kept your technical skills sharp, or a strong technical individual ready to take a step up in responsibility and reach.

• Hands on development work. We’d like you to be able to pick up tasks across the board as needed, whether that is frontend updates or backend architecture. Our primary tech stack uses Typescript, React/Next.js, gRPC, all running on GCP with modern CI and deployment pipelines in place.
• Overall ownership of architecture, best practices, platform reliability and ways of working within the engineering team. You will need to be comfortable not only with implementing code changes, but also managing releases, monitoring systems such as Sentry for any abnormal activity, and overall ensuring that our systems continue to operate smoothly.
• Close collaboration with the Product and Design function. You’ll work closely with our product managers to help inform roadmaps and prioritization. You’ll be the person to know what’s easy, what’s hard, and when to suggest alternative ways of accomplishing the same business goal.
• Manage, mentor, and grow the engineering team. You’d initially be the manager for a team of three great engineers, but would be the point person for future hiring when Pariti expands.

• 5+ years of proven experience as an individual software developer using relevant tools and technologies. We do all new development on Typescript, both frontend and backend, and you need to be able to hit the ground running using these tools. Exposure to Python is a bonus as we do use this for parts of our legacy platform and data science projects.
• Experience as a manager including hiring, performance management, streamlining ways of working, and cross‑functional collaboration is a strong plus, though we will consider candidates with exceptional technical skills that are interested in taking on management responsibilities.
• Greenfield/startup experience is a big plus. You’ve likely worked in smaller teams tasked with creating something from nothing, not only in bigger organizations where everything is already defined for you. We have very good foundations in terms of tech stack, CI/deployment pipelines, error monitoring, etc but as with any startup, you will be required to be flexible and adopt solutions to the needs of the situation with a mix of code, third‑party solutions, integrations, no‑code solutions, etc.

• Competitive salary & equity package
• A chance to work with thousands of startups & global investors
• A remote‑first environment
• An annual learning budget for you to grow
• Annual company retreats
• Medical benefits
