Shape the Future of Fintech Engineering
Ready to step into a role where you can lead exceptional people, drive real change, and deliver technology that matters?
We’re looking for a Chapter Lead to join a high-impact fintech transformation programme, where modern engineering powers real-world financial services at scale.
You’ll operate within a product-led environment, building secure, scalable platforms handling millions of transactions, while leading a talented engineering chapter working across cross-functional squads.
This is a role where your impact will be visible, meaningful, and immediate.
What You’ll Be Doing
Leading & Inspiring People
* Build, lead and develop a high-performing team of software engineers
* Champion a coaching‑first, inclusive culture
* Own the full employee lifecycle, from hiring through to progression
* Create an environment of innovation, accountability, and psychological safety
Driving Technical Excellence
* Provide hands‑on technical leadership across modern engineering practices
* Shape the delivery of scalable, secure fintech platforms
* Champion DevOps, CI/CD, and continuous improvement
* Collaborate closely with Product, Architecture, and stakeholders
Strategic Impact
* Contribute to technical strategy and roadmap direction
* Support a major fintech transformation journey
* Enable strong cross‑team collaboration and high‑quality delivery
What Makes You Stand Out
You’re a leader who elevates others as much as you build great software.
* Strong background in C#, .NET engineering within complex systems
* Proven experience leading and mentoring high-performing teams
* Experience in Agile, DevOps, or product-led environments
* Passion for building robust, scalable solutions (fintech or regulated experience desirable)
* Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
* A proactive mindset with a drive for continuous improvement
Why This Role Stands Out
* £50,000 – £70,000 salary depending on experience
* Work on large-scale fintech platforms with real impact
* Be part of a major transformation programme
* Strong focus on learning, progression, and leadership growth
* Flexible hybrid working
* A culture that values people, innovation, and inclusion
