 This role is for a senior leader in Engineering to join a well-know Singapore based FinTech.

The role will report to the founding team (CEO) and will act as VP of Engineering or CTO (depending on the candidate).

 The company has a strong regional presence and is an established leader in its field. This role requires someone with an exceptional track record in Engineering, who has managed large teams before, but still takes pride in working hands on and can lead by example, as opposed to by direction.

 

Key Responsibilities:

 Key Requirements:

  • Background in engineering is a must (degree in computer science or similar, coupled with several years of hands-on engineering work)

  • Prior experience as a Tech Leader in early to mid stage companies (Series A through to D)

  • Experience having lead a technology team during a critical stage of growth would be a very strong plus

  • Subject matter knowledge in fintech would help, but is not a must

  • Ability to lead and inspire others, from senior management to the most junior in the business

  • Passionate about tech, fintech and the problems it can solve in South East Asia

  • Currently based in Singapore, or else having experience working in Singapore before and willing to relocate back
