Job description

Are you a skilled C# Software Engineer with strong team leadership experience?

You could be joining a global financial services company as they rebuild the international payments platform, working within the Corporate Payments division.

As a C# Software Engineer / Team Lead you’ll lead your Squad across architecture, development, delivery and production operations whilst remaining hands-on, writing production code and tackling the most technically complex problems. You’ll own system architecture, API design, technical decisions, design reviews and code quality and partner with Product Managers on roadmaps, delivery plans and priorities.

Providing technical leadership, mentoring, 1-2-1s and feedback you’ll help to develop the engineers within the team, ensuring continuous improvement and setting standards for how the team builds, tests and ships. You’ll champion AI and agentic coding tools across the software development lifecycle, driving process improvements and modern techniques.

This is ideal for a senior engineer who wants to lead from the front - combining technical ownership, hands-on development and genuine responsibility for the growth of the team.

Requirements

You have experience owning CI/CD and release processes, such as GitHub Actions
You have hands-on experience with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or similar agentic tools, with a clear view on effective AI adoption
You’re collaborative and pragmatic with great communication skills, with the ability to explain technical decisions to both engineering and business stakeholders
A background in payments, FX or another regulated industry would be of benefit
