About This Role: We seek a strong technically-minded people leader to join our team as Head of Engineering, supporting our rapidly growing product engineering teams. Working closely with our CTO, this role is focused on continually developing our team as they continually develop our product. Creating and implementing our best practices, ensuring each member of the team is progressing to their full potential, being an insightful voice in technical solutions discussions, and working closely with product and senior leadership to map business strategy to tech ops are all key parts of this role. In other words, it’s a key role with immense opportunity to continue building on technical leadership skills in breadth and depth at a rapidly growing fintech. This is a unique opportunity at a key foundational stage of our product development. We are ambitiously building an end-to-end ecosystem for private markets, with three different product teams focused on our digital exchange, our backend services, and our front-end platforms respectively. Each team is cross-functional, autonomous, and deeply collaborative as we try whenever possible to remove the traditional functional silos of product teams. Our tech stack is highly varied and constantly evolving, but is currently made up largely of Node (Nest JS), React/React Native, NextJS, MySQL, AWS (via Terraform), and EVM-based web3 integrations. We are largely serverless and are continually improving our CI/CD best practices to maximize our release frequency while minimizing our operational risk. Roles and Responsibilities: • Taking on people management responsibilities across a large portion of our growing 15+ strong dev/QA team working across three offices (Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam). • Working with key stakeholders including the CTO and Director of Product, collaboratively setting organization-wide best practices and ensuring teams have the strategies and support required to execute and maintain them. • Take part in technical solutions discussions across the application, infrastructure, ops, and data realms, offering support and advisement based on experience, as well as ensuring our approaches align across our teams and reflect our team practices. • Setting professional development paths for various roles, and ensuring our approach to feedback and assessment is continually improving to best support every team member. • Take a strong leading role in the ongoing development of our resourcing and hiring strategy across dev/QA/architecture/DevOps functions. • Collaborate directly with the CTO and other department heads to ensure the tech team’s operations and strategic goals align with those of the business and are resilient to quick changes based on market conditions. • Stay in tune with our regulatory responsibilities and help to ensure that our team practices satisfy or exceed the guidelines set out by regulators in all of our operating markets. ‍ Our Ideal Candidate: • 8-10+ years overall in software engineering, with the majority of that in a hands-on position. • 3+ years of technology-focused people management experience, ideally with responsibility for multiple teams. • Experience building technology in a regulated space. • Experience with managing managers is an asset but not a requirement. • Hands-on experience with a variety of programming languages, ideally a mixture of both object-oriented and functional paradigms. • Experience with solutions and significant engineering deliverables both in greenfield circumstances as well as part of a mature, active system. • Exposure to the unique challenges of building software in a growth-stage environment, or at least being able to recognize and prioritize key transformation along the path from startup to large company. • Extensive experience working hands-on with at least one major cloud provider, ideally leveraging infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform. • Examples of having worked through technical decisions that balance speed-to-build with scalability. • A good working and up-to-date knowledge of cyber security and how to ensure resilience is baked into technical solutions. • While the majority of our stack is web2, experience or at least an interest in web3 tech is an asset. • Demonstrable experience with working out team structures and processes (variations of Agile, vertical vs horizontal teams, cross-functionality, etc.). ‍ Bonus Attributes: • Financial services, particularly the investment spa.
