About InvestEngine
InvestEngine is a fast-growing fintech based in London, on a mission to make ETF investing simple and accessible. Over 150,000 clients have trusted us with more than £3 billion in assets — and we're just getting started.
About the Role
We're looking for a Lead Backend Engineer to join and lead our Payments Team.
This is a hands-on leadership role combining backend engineering, technical ownership, and team leadership. The Payments Team owns one of the most business-critical domains at InvestEngine, responsible for payment flows, external provider integrations, transaction reliability, and operational efficiency.
The team is entering an exciting stage where we are looking for a strong technical leader who can help simplify complex systems, improve reliability, drive architectural improvements, and scale both the platform and the team.
What You'll Do
— Design, develop, and maintain backend services in Python 3.11 using Django / DRF
— Lead technical initiatives across payments infrastructure and integrations
— Drive improvements in system reliability, observability, and operational excellence
— Work closely with Product, Operations, Compliance, and external partners
— Investigate production issues and identify root causes rather than temporary fixes
— Improve legacy systems and reduce technical debt
— Lead architectural discussions and technical decision-making
— Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance
— Take ownership of delivery, planning, and execution of complex projects
— Help grow and develop the engineering team
What We're Looking For
— 5+ years of backend development experience
— Strong Python and Django experience
— Experience leading projects or engineering teams
— Strong understanding of distributed systems, integrations, and system reliability
— Experience working with complex legacy systems and technical debt
— Ability to drive clarity in ambiguous situations
— Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
— Strong ownership mindset and proactive approach to problem-solving
— English (B2 level or higher) and fluent Russian
Nice to Have
— Experience in fintech, payments, banking, or other highly regulated industries
— Experience with AWS, Docker, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, or Kafka
— Experience leading modernization or system migration initiatives
How We Work
We’re a lean, collaborative team where developers help shape architecture, product direction, and engineering culture. You’ll have real impact, autonomy, and the trust to build solutions that scale with the business — without micromanagement or heavy bureaucracy.
What We Offer
— Direct impact — work on business-critical systems and influence core architecture
— Strategic leadership opportunities — grow into a central technical role as we scale
— Modern tech stack — Python 3.11, Django, MySQL, Redis, AWS, GitHub, TeamCity
— Remote-first and flexible — work from anywhere, on your own schedule
— Unlimited vacation — take the time you need, when you need it
— A supportive, experienced team that values quality, learning, and delivering results
Hiring Process
1 Intro call with our Talent team
2 Technical interview with the Backend team
3 Final conversation with our CTO
Fast and clear process — typically 1–2 weeks from first call to offer.
