- Collaborate closely with Product, Compliance, and Business stakeholders to define and deliver integration roadmaps.

- Set and uphold high engineering standards through code reviews, technical mentorship, and process improvements.

- Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, collaboration, and operational excellence.

- Monitor performance, resolve incidents, and conduct postmortems with a view to continuous improvement.

- Stay informed on emerging FinTech trends, APIs, regulatory updates, and best practices.

- Oversee third-party integrations with key FinTech partners (e.g. payment processors, BNPL, fraud prevention, and financial data providers).

- Ensure integrations are secure, performant, and scalable — from design through to production support.

- Champion engineering quality through architecture reviews, hands-on technical guidance, and best practices.

Team Delivery & Culture

- Foster a high-trust, inclusive, and continuously improving team environment.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with stakeholders in Product, Compliance, and Business to deliver impactful outcomes.
