Reports to: Chief of Staff

Paynovate is scaling up, and we're looking for a Head of Engineering who thrives in high-ownership, no-nonsense environments. You won't be starting from scratch. Instead, you'll build on a solid base, optimize it, and lead our engineering team with clarity, focus and purpose.

Your mission

As Head Of Engineering, You'll

  • Lead, grow and coach our engineering team, ensuring strong fundamentals and lean practices
  • Drive strategic development: structure, process, infrastructure.
  • Ensure optimal use of resources—no tech sprawl, no unnecessary rebuilds.
  • Own our refactoring roadmap: scaling a live system, not rewriting it.
  • Act as a key voice in financial and strategic decisions, including budget planning and forecasting.
  • Collaborate closely with the Product Managers and Sales & Marketing to challenge ideas and make sure every feature we develop makes business sense.
  • Represent the engineering function in leadership forums and partner discussions.

What We're Looking For

  • A lean thinker: You understand how to build and scale with limited resources.
  • A seasoned leader: 10+ years in tech, including experience managing engineers and working cross-functionally.
  • A track record of optimization: You've scaled products without bloating headcount or budget.
  • A refactoring champion: You've successfully optimized legacy codebases—without pushing for a rebuild.
  • A business partner: You're comfortable navigating C-level discussions, managing up and across.
  • A builder of people: Recruitment, team dynamics, and skill development are your bread and butter.

Why join us?

  • You'll be joining a tech-driven company at a pivotal moment of growth.
  • This is a top-tier leadership role with real influence
  • Your impact will be visible—from engineering strategy to delivery results.
