Job description

About Xe Xe is a cross-border payments platform. We help SMEs and consumers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand collect, convert, hold, and send money across markets. Each year, over 300 million people use Xe for currency information and over 350,000 use us to send money overseas. Today, we’re rebuilding the platform layer behind cross-border payments for corporate and consumer clients. We’re small enough that your code ships fast and your decisions matter, and Euronet Worldwide (Nasdaq: EEFT) backs us so the problems stay real-scale. About This Role We’re hiring a Team Lead who owns how a squad builds and ships, from architecture and API design through to delivery, reliability, and the growth and performance of the engineers on the team. You already use AI as part of how you think, build, test, and ship, and shape how the team does the same. You’ll write code that moves money in production, own the squad’s architecture and engineering delivery, lead the growth of its engineers, and serve as the squad’s technical co-lead with the Product Manager. Your squad owns a slice of the platform that moves money for Xe’s customers, along with the services and partner integrations behind it. You align with adjacent squads when work crosses boundaries. What You’ll Do Lead the engineering team building and running your squad’s slice of the platform, across the services, APIs, and partner integrations that move money for Xe’s customers. Set technical direction and lead the squad’s hands-on engineering work: architecture, API design, code for the hard parts, design reviews, code review standards, and leading the squad’s response to production incidents. Own engineering delivery for the squad, iterating with the PM on roadmap, sprint plans, timelines, and what ships when. Lead and support the engineers as people, not just technically: pairing, mentoring, regular 1:1s, feedback, and helping them grow and perform, including contributing to interview loops. Shape how the team adopts AI tools: set the example for using agentic coding tools daily across the SDLC and raise the bar for how the squad ships with them., Annual performance-related rewards: performance-based annual bonus Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP): open to all employees Car allowance: monthly car allowance (subject to Direction Level) Meal vouchers: 8€ per working day Preferential currency exchange rates: exclusive rates for employees Money transfer discounts: special discounts on transfers Annual salary review: performance-based process Hybrid working model: 2 days per week WFH with flexible scheduling Extended vacation allowance: *** days annual leave Extra bank holidays: additional company-recognised holidays Birthday off: fully paid day off Annual employee recognition events: HEROES awards & seniority recognitions Annual social events: end-of-year celebration & regional/departmental gatherings Seasonal celebrations: Halloween, New Year, Christmas, and other festivities Volunteer days & CSR initiatives: Save the Children, environmental actions, food bank donations, and more Employee wellness weeks: global and local wellbeing activities Leadership training: internal and external learning opportunities Cross-functional project opportunities: available based on skills and project needs Internal & international mobility: relocation support and coaching for career development We want Xe to be a great place to work and to ensure that our communities are represented across our workforce.

Requirements

Must-have 6 to 10+ years building production software systems, end-to-end. Track record of technical leadership in a software team: setting architecture, leading design reviews, mentoring engineers, and being accountable for a squad’s technical decisions. Experience leading, developing, and supporting engineers beyond the technical, including coaching, regular 1:1s, feedback, and helping people grow and perform, as a meaningful part of the role alongside hands-on technical leadership. Strong backend proficiency in C# / . NET preferred; other OOP languages welcome (Java, Kotlin, Go, or equivalent). Working frontend fluency with Vue.js, React, or equivalent. Strong system design experience, including distributed systems and service-oriented or microservices architecture. Payments, FX, or regulated-industry experience. SQL and relational database fundamentals. Production experience with AWS, including native services such as SQS, DynamoDB, S3, ECS, and Lambda, and ownership of CI/CD pipelines including release gating (GitHub Actions or equivalent). Daily use of agentic coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or equivalent) across the SDLC, with a clear point of view on how a team should adopt AI. Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to translate technical decisions for product and business audiences. Nice-to-have Track record leading engineering teams shipping payments, fintech, or money-movement products at scale. Formal line-management or performance-management experience. Track record of hiring, interviewing, or onboarding engineers. Experience modernizing platforms, decoupling from legacy services, or leading large refactors.
