This is not your typical leadership role.
If youre looking to manage tasks, run standups, and stay above the code – this position probable isnt for you.
But if you want to build systems, shape engineers, and redefine how teams operate in the age of AI – keep reading.
What were actually building
were building systems that dont just process data – they make decisions.
Real-time. At scale. Under uncertainty.
Fraud evolves fast.
So our systems, and our engineers, need to evolve faster.
This is where you come in.
What youll actually do:
Youll lead a team – but youll also build with them
Youll make architectural decisions that directly impact how the system scales and behaves
Youll own critical parts of the system – not just people
Youll turn ambiguity into direction (for both product and engineering)
Youll raise the bar: in code quality, system design, and how the team thinks
Youll embed AI into how the team works – not as a tool, but as leverage
Youll help strong engineers become exceptional

Requirements:
Youve led engineers – and made them better
Youve built real systems at scale – and felt the trade-offs
Youre still hands-on and want to stay that way
You think in systems, not just services
You dont hide behind process – you use it when it helps and ignore it when it doesnt
You take ownership beyond your scope
AI is part of the job:
You actively use AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor) in your daily workflow
You help others use them better
You understand where AI accelerates – and where it breaks
Youre interested in redefining how engineering teams work with AI – not just individually, but as a system
What makes this role different
You wont just manage execution – youll shape how we build
You wont just lead people – youll lead thinking
Youll have real influence on architecture, product, and engineering culture
Youll work on systems that actually matter – with real scale and real impact
Youll help define what a high-performing AI-native engineering team looks like
Stack (for context, not as a checklist)
Node.js / TypeScript
Distributed, event-driven systems
Kafka
AWS
MongoDB + Postgres
Containers (Docker, Kubernetes / ECS)
