Vice President of Software Engineering

(Remote) VP of Engineering – B2C Fintech Company

Imagine a Fintech lender that actually feels fair, simple, and human. Now imagine leading an engineering transformation that makes that experience scale to hundreds of thousands of customers.

Few&Far have partnered with an independent lender with serious funding and a clear vision: to give its customers a straightforward approach to finance.

Now, they need a VP of Engineering to lead a cultural reset shift and the focus from technical output to business outcomes. That’s where you come in.

What you’ll actually do…

• Stabilise delivery, embed clear ownership and accountability, and reset engineering culture, quality standards, and leadership capability across the engineering team.
• Own the engineering cost base, improve efficiency, and build business cases for investment. You will articulate engineering’s value in terms of business outcomes rather than just technical metrics.
• Lead a major refactoring of legacy systems while modernising core platforms. You will guide architectural decisions to ensure they are commercially grounded and aligned with business priorities.
• Create and execute a fit-for-purpose operating model, including introducing offshore/nearshore capability to improve economics and output.

What they are looking for…

• You can articulate technology success through business impact and measure team success by financial/business targets.
• You have led engineering organisations of +40 people through turnaround or transformation environments, stabilising delivery and improving engineering effectiveness without significant headcount growth.
• You are an engineer by background who has “been in the trenches,” giving you the immediate credibility to lead and mentor a technical team.
• You naturally work cross-functionally with product, marketing, and finance, viewing technology and product as “two faces of the same coin.”
• You have experience designing operating models, owning engineering costs, and building compelling business cases for investment in platforms, tooling, and technical debt reduction.
