About the role

Engineering Lead

London - Hybrid (2 days)

£115k–£120k + Bonus + Equity


I'm working with a high-growth fintech that's building the infrastructure powering the next generation of private markets.


They're looking for a hands-on Engineering Lead to lead a small team (4–5 engineers) while remaining close to the code.


Why this role stands out:

  • High ownership, low bureaucracy
  • Shape product direction, not just deliver tickets
  • Lead a small, high-calibre engineering team
  • Modern stack (TypeScript-first with growing Go adoption)
  • AI-native engineering culture
  • Real influence on architecture, product, and team growth


You'll thrive here if you:

✅ Enjoy leading engineers while still building

✅ Have strong backend/full-stack experience (Typescript highly preferable)

✅ Love partnering with Product to solve customer problems

✅ Get excited by startups, ownership, and moving fast

✅ Are already using AI to improve how you build software


A great opportunity for someone who wants the impact of an early-stage startup, without the usual early-stage risk!
