Engineering Team Lead | Fintech Scale-Up | London (Hybrid) | £90,000–£115,000 + Benefits
Via is working with a high-growth, profitable fintech that's rewriting the rulebook for how small businesses access finance. Think: a market-leading business credit card, a spend management platform, and a savings product that hit £1bn in deposits in its first year alone. We're talking 1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, and a 4.7-star Trustpilot rating from 17,000+ reviews. This is a business that's already won, and it's still only getting started.
They're now looking for an Engineering Team Lead to build and lead a high-performing, healthy engineering team from their London (Moorgate) office, 2 days a week.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Role
This isn't a "manage from a distance" job. You'll stay genuinely hands-on while your real impact comes through your people, building a team so strong it doesn't need you in the room to succeed. Expect to:
- Coach, mentor, and give the kind of honest feedback that actually helps people grow
- Own your team's quarterly delivery and hold the bar on quality and accountability
- Tackle underperformance head-on and fight your team's corner at calibration and promotion
- Partner closely with Product, QA, and Technical Leaders to shape strategy and execution
- Spot risk before it becomes a problem, and clear the path for your team to do great work
- Stay technically sharp, guiding engineers at the code level when it counts
What You'll Bring
- A proven track record leading and delivering complex engineering projects
- Real experience managing or mentoring engineers; hiring, developing, and having the tough conversations when needed
- Strong commercial experience with C# &.NET
- Solid grounding in modern software practice and cloud-based, scalable architecture
- A customer-first, commercially savvy, data-informed approach to decisions
- Comfort managing cross-team dependencies across Product, QA, and beyond
