About 9fin
9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s largest asset class at over $145 trillion.
Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. 9fin replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralises proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets.
Today, 9fin powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption.
We’re at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, 9fin is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an Engineering Lead II to lead three customer-facing engineering teams across Onboarding & Activation, Mobile, and Office Productivity.
These teams are responsible for how customers discover, adopt, access, and engage with 9fin across multiple surfaces and workflows. Together they own critical parts of the customer journey including onboarding, permissions and entitlements, activation, notifications, discovery, mobile experiences, and productivity tooling such as Microsoft Office integrations.
You will lead multiple engineering pods (circa 7 engineers total), each with its own product area, roadmap, and technical challenges, while ensuring they operate as a connected ecosystem rather than independent products. Success in this role requires strong organisational leadership, technical depth, and the ability to identify opportunities for shared platforms, reusable services, and common architectural patterns across teams.
This role is ideal for a highly technical engineering leader who enjoys operating across multiple domains, helping teams solve complex architectural challenges, and creating alignment between product strategy, customer needs, and engineering execution.

Build and lead a high-performing team responsible for 9fin's mobile applications, mobile platform services, and productivity tooling. Coach and develop engineers across multiple disciplines, helping them grow their technical expertise, product thinking, and leadership skills. Shape the technical vision and roadmap for how 9fin integrates into customer workflows beyond the core web application. Partner with Product and Design to identify opportunities where mobile, AI, notifications, and productivity tools can create meaningful customer value. Guide architectural decisions across mobile applications, Backend-for-Frontend services, Office integrations, and workflow automation capabilities. Work closely with AI and Search teams to bring AI-native experiences into customer workflows, including search, recommendations, and intelligent productivity features. Collaborate with Platform, Data, Identity, Onboarding, Activation, and Permissions teams to ensure seamless customer experiences across products. Drive engineering excellence while maintaining a strong focus on customer outcomes, adoption, engagement, and retention. Help establish success metrics and use product analytics, customer feedback, and business outcomes to inform prioritisation and investment decisions. Hire, onboard, and develop exceptional engineering talent as these micro teams scale in future Stay engaged with technical design and architecture reviews while empowering engineers to take ownership of implementation details. Balance short-term product delivery with long-term platform investments that enable future innovation.
