    Talent Search Pro

    Lead developer job in San Francisco, CA

What You'll Be Doing Leading by example: writing production code across backend and at least one client platform Defining system architecture and making pragmatic technical tradeoffs Owning delivery of features across mobile, web, and backend systems Designing and maintaining systems for payments, ledgering, fraud controls, and AML workflows Ensuring the product is secure, reliable, and scalable in real‑world financial environments Mentoring engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and hands‑on collaboration Working closely with founders to translate product goals into technical execution Must‑Haves Experience at fintech, payments, banking, crypto, remittances, or lending startups Deep, hands‑on experience with Anti‑Fraud, AML, ledgering, and payments orchestration 7-10 years building and shipping consumer‑facing mobile and/or web applications Meaningful full‑stack exposure (e.g., React/TypeScript, Python, Go/Rust, Postgres, AWS, CI/CD) Proven ability to lead technically: making architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, and driving outcomes Strong systems thinking with an eye toward performance, security, and correctness This role is best suited for leaders who still enjoy being close to the code, especially in fast‑moving startup environments. Nice‑to‑Haves Experience building products for Latin American markets Deep background in financial technology or payments Strong product intuition and design sensibility across platforms Prior experience scaling early‑stage engineering teams What This Role Is (and Isn't) ✅ A hands‑on technical leadership role, not a pure management position ✅ Direct ownership over architecture and delivery ✅ Startup environment with real product and real constraints ❌ Not a high‑level enterprise or megacorp leadership role ❌ Not suitable for candidates far removed from day‑to‑day coding ❌ Not a single‑discipline role (mobile‑only or backend‑only) Location & Work Setup Location: San Francisco Work model: In‑office Relocation: Open to relocation (no relocation assistance) Visa sponsorship: Available #J-18808-Ljbffr
