Moniepoint - Head of Engineering, Sales & Marketing Tools

• You have 10–15 years of overall software engineering experience, with at least 5 years leading engineering teams through growth phases. • 5+ years of hands-on, production-level experience writing and shipping Java code as a practising engineer. This means years spent writing Java yourself, not years spent overseeing teams who write it. • At least 5 years of experience managing managers — leading an engineering organisation through other engineering leaders, rather than running a single team. • You have proven platform engineering experience at scale — building and running complex distributed systems, not feature delivery alone. • You have navigated legacy migrations and re-architecture projects at 20M+ user scale. • You have strong backend engineering skills in high-throughput, data-intensive distributed systems, and are proficient in Java and Spring Boot. • You have managed and developed large engineering teams of 20 or more members. • Experience building systems where financial correctness matters — commissions, payouts, wallets, ledgers or equivalent — is a strong advantage. • A fintech or payments background is strongly preferred. CRM or SalesTech domain experience is nice to have and explicitly not required. • Exposure to customer engagement or marketing automation platforms such as Braze is a plus, but not a requirement. • Cultural Alignment • Cultural Alignment • As well, we assess every candidate across eight dimensions that define how great leaders operate at Moniepoint. We look for evidence of all eight throughout the process, not just in a single conversation. • Customer Obsession: Build deep empathy for users. Solve problems intuitively, and fix root causes, not just tickets. • Craft: Master the fundamentals. Reason from first principles, make trade-offs explicit, and raise the bar on quality. • Systemisation: Turn repeating decisions into scalable mechanisms. Reduce cognitive load and raise engineering quality. • Urgency: Move with disciplined speed. Act autonomously within scope, remove friction, and escalate risks early. • Ownership: Treat the platform as your own. Take initiative across boundaries and follow through without reminders. • No Ego: Put the mission first. Share credit, welcome debate, and never protect status over team outcomes. • Candour: Surface uncomfortable truths and risks early. Intelligent failure is welcome; concealment is not. • Integrity: Stay truthful and ethically consistent. Refuse toxic behavior. Performance without integrity is unacceptable.
