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!
📩 Drop me a message if you'd like to hear more.
