Engineering Lead (Fintech)

Location: Munich, Germany; onsite. Regular presence in both the Munich and Madrid offices is required.

Company

hirify.global is building autonomous financial agents for accounts payable, accounts receivable, and treasury workflows, backed by Creandum and founded by the team behind Taulia.

What you will do

• Ship production code 70–80% of the week, taking on the hardest pod work, integrations, and code reviews for systems that move money.
• Manage engineers through weekly 1:1s, direct feedback, growth plans, and day-to-day people support.
• Run the delivery rhythm: milestone commitments, Friday reviews, committed-versus-delivered dashboards, and follow-ups on slipped work.
• Establish agent-oriented engineering practices, including executable specifications, pre-merge evaluations, prompt reviews, regression suites, and change management.
• Raise delivery risks early and ensure missed commitments have an owner and next step.
• Work directly with controllers and accounts-payable leads to identify operational problems and define future milestones.

Requirements

• Senior engineering experience shipping production systems where mistakes have financial consequences, such as fintech, payments, ERP-adjacent, or enterprise B2B systems.
• Experience managing engineers, running 1:1s, and maintaining a delivery cadence while continuing to write production code.
• Recent experience building with an agentic coding tool; a work example must be available to show.
• Strong Python or TypeScript experience and sufficient PostgreSQL knowledge to review a migration independently.
• Experience tracking delivery reliability with metrics such as committed versus shipped work or cycle time.
• Ability to follow up on slipped work without creating a blame-oriented process.
• Preference for minimal, effective processes and the ability to challenge founders constructively.
• Fluent English required.

Nice to have

• German or Spanish.
• Production AI agents as the product rather than a feature.
• Depth in purchase-to-pay or order-to-cash, or experience with SAP integrations.
• Experience growing with a team through Series A or Series B.
• Former founder or founding engineer experience.

Culture & Benefits

• Player-coach role with a future path to Head of Engineering as the engineering organization grows from 8 to 16 or more engineers.
• Management focuses on day-to-day people leadership while the CTO owns hiring decisions, technical direction, and architecture.
• Weekly reviews focus on learning from misses rather than blame.
• Work is organized around agent-assisted engineering loops: specify, generate, evaluate, correct, and ship.
• Regular work from both Munich and Madrid offices is expected.
