Required Engineering Squad Lead
Description
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
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).

Requirements:
What we care about (beyond titles):
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
