Senior Engineering Lead (Wealth)

At Plum, we're on a mission to maximise wealth for all. We’re making saving money effortless and turning investing into something everyone can do.

Our journey began back in 2017, when we became one of the first to use artificial intelligence and automation to simplify personal finance. Fast forward to today, and we've already helped people save £2 billion across 10 European markets.

Named the UK's fastest-growing fintech in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, our success is down to the passion and dedication of our diverse team. Based in our London, Athens and Nicosia offices, 170 talented people work together to empower people to do more with their money. And now, the team is growing!

The Role

As a Senior Engineering Lead at Wealth Collective, you will lead a group of agile teams of engineers on engineering practices, processes, and continuous improvement.

💰The Wealth collective is one of the three teams of our product engineering team.
The group is responsible for building wealth for our users, which includes teams that develop and manage all the trading (stocks, ETFs, Investments) and savings products (Money Market Funds, ISAs), but also the experience across this wealth building journey. 

Our squads🌍🙌:

Our Squads are mission driven and include Product Managers, Designers, Backend and Mobile engineers, aiming to develop and maintain products, services and tools towards an unforgettable user experience, as well as aiding any related operations from Plum’s side. Squads are organised into Pillars which align with our different strategic business areas. We trust massively on data driven, well informed squads that own their work.
