Job description

About Finary

We're building a one-stop shop for investing that gives power back to individual investors. Finary lets users track their assets, manage budgets, invest money, and learn about finance, all in one place.

Launched in 2021, we've grown to 850,000+ users. In September 2025, we closed a €25M Series B led by PayPal Ventures, with backing from Y Combinator, Hedosophia, Speedinvest, and founders from Qonto, Photoroom, Bitpanda, UBS, and Wise.

We care deeply about user experience, performance, and shipping products that genuinely improve people's financial lives.

TL;DR

You'll lead 1-2 squads of engineers (~6 each), owning both technical delivery and people growth. You'll partner with Product and Design to ship features that matter, while building a team that gets better every quarter. This is a hands-on leadership role: you won't write code daily, but you'll stay close enough to guide architecture and unblock your team.

What you'll do

  • Own delivery: Drive your squad's roadmap from planning to production. Prioritize ruthlessly, remove blockers, and ensure commitments are met.

  • Grow engineers: Run effective 1:1s, give direct feedback, and build career paths. Your success is measured by how fast your team develops.

  • Guide technical decisions: Participate in design reviews, challenge assumptions, and ensure your squad builds systems that scale.

  • Hire and raise the bar: Source, interview, and close top engineers. Shape what "great" looks like for your team.

  • Keep systems healthy: Own observability and reliability for your domain. Drive postmortems and make sure lessons stick.

  • Partner across functions: Work closely with Product and Design to turn business goals into shipped software.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years leading engineering teams: You've managed engineers, not just projects. You've hired, coached, and had hard conversations.

  • Hands-on technical background: You've built production systems. You can read code, spot architectural risks, and earn your team's respect.

  • Cloud infrastructure experience: You're comfortable with distributed systems, observability tools, and production operations.

  • Fast-paced environment fit: You've worked somewhere that shipped weekly, not quarterly. You thrive when priorities shift.

  • Fluent in English: Written and spoken. Our engineering team works in English.

Nice to have:

  • Experience scaling teams through hypergrowth (startup to scale-up)

  • Fintech or regulated industry background

  • Passion for personal finance and investing

Tech stack

  • Backend: Rust, Ruby, Python

  • Database: PostgreSQL

  • Infrastructure: GCP, Terraform

  • Ops: GitHub, Datadog, Sentry

  • Frontend (for context): React, React Native, Expo

What we offer

Compensation

  • Level 1 (learning the craft): n/a

  • Level 2 (level 1 + autonomy): n/a

  • Level 3 (level 2 + ownership): n/a

  • Level 4 (level 3 + technical leadership): €100-115k

  • Level 5 (level 4 + shapes company direction): €115-130k

* We can go higher for outstanding profiles. This role is open from Level 4 to Level 5 depending on experience.

Team

You'll report to the VP of Engineering and lead 1-2 product squads. Each squad has ~6 engineers working on domains like investments, crypto, or financial aggregation. You'll have ownership from day one and the autonomy to shape how your team works.

Benefits

  • Hybrid setup: teammates across France and Europe, with in-person weeks in Paris 6 times per year (travel and accommodation covered)

  • High-performing environment with A-players who challenge you and help you grow

  • Impact that matters: build products that help people take control of their financial future

How we work

We ship fast and iterate constantly. We break complex problems into small pieces, get feedback from our community, and polish as we go. We believe the best products come from user research, analytics, and gut feeling.

Even if you don't check every box, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and are more interested in your potential than a perfect match to our checklist.
