Responsibilities
• Lead the team: Coach and grow engineers, DevOps, data, and our engineering manager. Build a culture of ownership and pride in craft, and give direct, caring feedback. Make sure critical knowledge and on-call never rest on one person. • Lead the team: • Set direction: Connect engineering strategy to company goals and customer outcomes. Evolve how the team plans, prioritizes, and ships, and raise quality and predictability without adding unnecessary process. • Set direction: • Keep customers at the center: Make sure the team understands the customer's problem before it builds, through call reviews, implementation work, and time with the people who talk to customers every day. Treat Revenue, Client Services, and Implementations as teammates: when they need help landing or supporting a customer, the team's first answer is how we can help, and you make capacity tradeoffs. Help the team see that customer focus means solving the customer's real problem, not building every request. • Keep customers at the center: • Build with AI: Treat AI as a way to change how we scale, not just a productivity add-on. Find places where AI can take on whole pieces of work in complex, regulated financial workflows, and measure success by results customers and partner banks can trust. Choose models and tools on cost and performance, revisit what's been built as the technology changes, and be willing to rebuild or retire what no longer makes sense. Lead by example, using AI in your own work so it becomes a natural part of how the team builds. • Build with AI: • Work across the company: Contribute to company strategy as an exec team member and partner with our VP of Product as a true peer: challenge direction with data, then commit and lead the team through it. Make engineering a trusted partner to Revenue, Client Services, Implementations, Compliance, and Operations, and explain technical tradeoffs in plain business terms. • Work across the company: • Run a secure, regulated platform: Guide architecture, own reliability and incident response, and own engineering's part in SOC 2, PCI, and bank partner security reviews. Make sure AI systems get security review that matches the responsibility they're given. • Run a secure, regulated platform:
