Staff / Lead Full-Stack Engineer — Fintech · Singapore
infrastructure that moves data reliably at scale.
We're hiring a Staff / Lead Full-Stack Engineer to own systems that span teams, not a single service — the person who changes how engineering works here, not just what it ships.
What you'll own
- Drive technical strategy for a domain across the full stack — the platform, the API surface, the data layer, the front-end architecture — not just features within one system
- Own systems that span multiple squads, and be accountable for their reliability, performance, and evolution over time
- Set technical standards that get adopted across engineering — through RFCs, design reviews, and the decisions others defer to
- Act as the bridge between product strategy and technical execution: translate ambiguous business problems into concrete architecture
- Raise the bar around you — mentor senior engineers, unblock other teams, and identify systemic problems before they become incidents
- Stay hands-on: this is a senior IC seat, not a management role. You still ship.
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of engineering experience, with a track record of technical influence across teams — not just deep ownership of one service
- Strong across the stack: production depth in a backend language Python and modern front-end Angular, with the judgement to make architecture calls on both sides
- Solid AWS and distributed-systems fundamentals — you've designed for scale and can talk through the trade-offs, the incidents, and what you'd do differently
- Evidence you've driven a system-level design decision with org-wide impact, and got buy-in for it
- You're the engineer other engineers seek out for technical guidance
- Clear communicator — you can make technical complexity legible to non-technical stakeholders, including leadership
- Preferred industry background: fintech, B2B infrastructure, payments, credit, treasury or another high-reliability, data-intensive domain. If you've built where correctness and uptime genuinely matter, that's what we're after.
Nice to have
- AI-native engineer. You've built processes around AI, not just used the tools. Two signals we care about: AI-assisted development — you've used AI to genuinely optimise how your team ships (faster delivery, better quality, less operational toil), with a concrete before/after; and AI in the product — you've built self-sufficient AI agents or agentic workflows that do real work in production, not demos.
- Experience defining architecture across both consumer and B2B surfaces at meaningful scale
- Exposure to event-driven architectures, high-throughput data pipelines, or financial-grade systems
Why this role
- Genuine scope from day one — this is a seat where you set direction across the org, not inherit a backlog
- A high-trust, low-bureaucracy engineering culture where the best technical argument wins
