Role: Engineering Leader/Manager

Salary: c£110,000 + Bonus + Bens

Industry: FinTech

Working Model: Remote First (London HQ - 1 day per month in office)

Wedo have partnered with a Payments-led FinTech powering embedded finance for global platforms. The engine processes £9bn+ and they’ve now hit the inflection point where startup scrappiness must evolve into scalable, repeatable engineering.

They recently hired a VP of Engineering (ex ClearScore, Depop, Google), and we’ve already placed 3 EL/EMs into the organisation and now they need their fourth to complete the leadership layer — someone technical, steady, mature, and able to coach a team while still understanding architecture deeply.

The Role

Lead a squad of 5–6 engineers delivering the backbone of their platform scalable, API-first, event-driven systems in C#/.NET. This is still a technical role in the sense they need Engineering Leaders who are at the face of system design, architectural decisions, distributed patterns, and microservices. You’ll shape engineering standards, improve delivery predictability, and bring leadership depth to a strong but relatively homegrown team.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading and developing a team of 5–6 engineers (coaching, feedback, progression).
• Driving delivery in C#/.NET microservices with event-driven and domain-driven design.
• Owning architecture and systems design both high and low level.
• Raising the bar across CI/CD, testing, secure development, observability and reliability.
• Working with Data Science & Product to ship intelligent funding and risk features.
• Navigating ambiguity creating clarity where specs aren’t final.
• Prioritising customer-impact above process-theatre.
• Hands-on when needed, but defaulting to enabling others to be better than you alone.

What Good Looks Like

Technical Signals

Strong C#/.NET engineering background (non-negotiable)

Experience in distributed systems + event-driven architecture

Solid judgement in system design, trade-offs, performance + reliability

Understands CI/CD, security, testing maturity, operational readiness

Can go hands-on but doesn’t need to in order to lead

Leadership Signals

Calm under pressure, low-ego, pragmatic

Coaches rather than commands and raises the technical bar through people

Has led teams in at least 2 orgs (seen good + bad)

Comfortable without delivery managers engineering owns delivery

Makes decisions with data, measures team health beyond “vibes”

Cultural Fit

Curious, humble, patient, commercially aware

Product-centric

Thrives in scale-up uncertainty, brings order without becoming process-police

Environment & Stack

Backend: C# / .NET, event-driven, microservices

Infra: AWS (EKS), Docker, Terraform

Data: MongoDB, PostgreSQL

FE: Angular (not essential for you)

If you want to lead from the front, shape a scale-up heading toward a big end goal, and build a team that delivers with accountability and flow this one is worth a conversation.
