About the role
Lead the product-engineering organization focusing on member-facing and consumer product surfaces, build and scale the engineering team, maintain high quality while moving fast, and foster an AI-native culture in fintech. A player-coach role at the start with architecture, code reviews, and recruiting, reporting to the CTO/Co-Founder.
Responsibilities
- Own the product-engineering half of the org — the member-facing, consumer, and product-surface domains where what we build is felt by real people (member-facing agents across voice and chat, the Nexus product surfaces, and the BankGPT consumer experience).
- Build and scale the engineering org, maintain high quality while moving fast, and cultivate a high-trust, AI-native culture.
- Engage in architecture discussions, code reviews, and late-Friday PRs; drive recruiting and org design.
- Lead velocity & quality initiatives — processes, tooling, and culture to ship fast without excessive tech debt.
- Focus on Consumer & member-facing product engineering — agent library, money-movement and servicing flows, chat/conversion, and the consumer experience.
- Foster an AI-native engineering culture by embedding Claude Code, Cursor, and frontier models as standard.
- Lead recruiting & talent branding for your domain; collaborate with architectural and product leadership.
Qualifications
- 10+ years engineering experience
- 4–6 years in leadership at high-growth startups / scale-ups
- Experience scaling a team through a funding transition
- Domain commonality in fintech / consumer finance / neobank or consumer-at-scale; familiarity with conversational / CX software
- Ex-founder who scaled a consumer or fintech startup (preferred)
- Still hands-on technically — reviews PRs, makes architecture calls, interacts with Staff/Chief Engineer level
- Extreme AI fluency at the infra level; experience building AI-native engineering culture
- Production-scale TypeScript and/or Python; strong people leadership and product intuition
- BS/BA in Computer Science required; MS/PhD a plus
