About the role

Senior Software Engineer for The Founders’ Lab at Airwallex, delivering end-to-end fintech AI innovations with product leadership, across full stack, in a hybrid London-based role.

Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with the CEO and global leadership to turn strategic visions and disruptive AI capabilities into functional, market-ready financial software in weeks, not quarters.
  • Shape product direction by synthesising business requirements, regulatory realities, user needs and emerging technology.
  • Run rapid proofs of concept, deploy products to live users, test market fit and balance fast iteration with sound technical foundations.
  • Deliver end-to-end solutions across the stack, from backend architecture and API design through to frontend polish, putting useful products in the hands of global users.
  • Build clean, maintainable software from ambiguous executive direction, with complete end-to-end ownership across both product and engineering.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong foundation in backend architecture and the ability to work confidently across the full stack when needed.
  • A track record of personally shipping products from scratch in a high-growth startup, corporate innovation lab or greenfield environment.
  • Strong product and commercial judgement, with the ability to challenge assumptions and evaluate technical decisions through the lens of user experience and business impact.
  • A pragmatic, resourceful approach to problem-solving, with a track record of finding creative paths around institutional and technical roadblocks.
  • Comfort working with high ambiguity and translating high-level strategic or executive direction into clean, maintainable software.
