Team Lead

Required Team Lead
About the Team:
You will be leading the Compliance Engineering Squad, the technological "Guardians" of the company. We dont just write code; we build the safety net that allows our business to run fast and launch new products safely. In a high-growth Fintech environment, our team ensures that every loan, transaction, and interaction meets the strictest regulatory standards - automatically and seamlessly. We operate as a hybrid squad, blending robust Backend engineering with advanced Data Engineering. As the Team Lead, you will guide this multidisciplinary group in solving complex business challenges.
We treat compliance as a first-class engineering product. Our stack is modern, diverse, and built for scale:
Core: Kotlin, Python, and Java atop a Modulith architecture.
Data & Scale: Snowflake, Airflow, Spark, and DBT for high-volume data processing.
Infrastructure: Event-driven architecture (Kafka), AWS, and K8s.
Frontend: Internal tools built with React (Micro-frontends).
What Youll Do:
As the Team Lead, you will manage a high-impact squad dedicated to ensuring our compliance with critical processes and data integrity. Your role is central to driving quality, scalability, and accountability in processes such as compliance audits, credit bureau furnishing, and legal automation. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of technology, compliance, and data. You will lead Backend Engineers and Data Engineers to build robust systems that power our regulatory functions. You will have the chance to shape the technical strategy and build the team (hiring and mentoring), while remaining hands-on with modern technologies.
Key Responsibilities:
Manage and mentor a dynamic team of 3 engineers (Backend & Data), fostering collaboration and professional growth. You will also be responsible for hiring and onboarding new talent to the team.
Architect scalable, high-performance systems that support compliance-critical operations. You will define the technical roadmap and drive modernization efforts.
Design and oversee both Backend infrastructure and Data Pipelines to ensure accurate, auditable, and scalable compliance processes.
Act as the single point of contact for legal and compliance stakeholders, handling and facilitating all technical aspects of audit requests (SOC, state, and other regulatory audits).
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including other engineering teams, product managers, legal, and business stakeholders, to align technology and compliance goals.
Remain active in the codebase, ensuring high code quality and leading by example.
