Full Job Description

## Description About Moneybox At Moneybox, our mission is to give everyone the means to get more out of life. We're guided by our belief that wealth isn't about the money, it's about the means to more - more freedom, opportunities, possibilities, and peace of mind. Moneybox is an award-winning wealth management platform, helping over one and a half million people build wealth throughout their lives, whether they’re saving and investing, buying their first home, or planning for retirement. Job Brief We are looking for a Head of Engineering to help us scale our engineering capability without compromising product quality, service reliability or regulatory standards. This is a senior, hands-on engineering leadership role. We are looking for someone who can lead through technical depth, strong execution and pragmatic decision-making. The ideal candidate is comfortable designing and helping build complex, high-risk functionality where the margin for error is small. They should be able to operate confidently in a regulated financial services environment and help teams move quickly without creating unnecessary complexity. A major focus of this role will be technical leadership across Moneybox’s payments, money movement, interest and fee systems. These systems underpin how customer money moves through the platform, how interest is calculated and paid and how fees are collected. Their correctness, reliability and auditability are critical to customer trust, regulatory compliance, revenue assurance and operational resilience. You will lead a small team of squad leads, each of whom leads a small team of engineers whilst remaining hands-on in delivery. Direct line management is deliberately limited so this role can stay close to the technical detail, with a clear focus on technical leadership, delivery, engineering standards and building systems that improve long-term engineering velocity. ## Our Tech Stack You do not need experience with our exact stack, but you should be able
