I'm working on an exciting opportunity for a Principal Engineer to build new digital fintech products from the ground up (Greenfield).

This is a genuinely hands‑on Principal role - you'll lead an engineering squad, shape architecture, make key technical decisions, mentor engineers and stay hands on engineering digital products.

Required:

  • 7-8+ years' software engineering experience, with experience leading as a principal, staff level or tech lead.
  • Strong system design & technical leadership
  • Full-stack experience
  • Key Technologies: Java/Spring Boot, React/TypeScript and React Native, Azure (AWS or GCP is fine), Kubernetes, Terraform & CI/CD
  • APIs, microservices & event-driven architecture.
  • Production ownership & modern engineering practices.
  • Experience using AI - integrated into the SDLC.

The environment is seriously modern: Java, React/TypeScript, React Native, AKS, Kafka, Temporal, Databricks, Terraform, ArgoCD/GitOps, Azure AI Foundry & more.

We're open to exceptional engineers from Banking, Financial Services and other regulated environments (a strong fit from a SaaS, technology, e-commerce will also be considered). If you're a Principal, Staff or Lead Engineer who wants to build new greenfield digital fintech products - I'd love to speak with you.
