Senior Founding Product Engineer (Ebury Web Platform)

Ebury is a global fintech, headquartered in London. We help businesses move money across borders — FX, payments, and lending — in 140+ currencies, sending payments to 160+ countries across 30+ regulated markets, delivered by 2,000+ experts in 40+ offices worldwide and backed by the stability of majority-owner Santander. That's a bank's reach and reliability with the pace of a product team. And we've set ourselves a deliberately hard bar: beat the best digital-first experience in our market, not merely match the incumbents. 

That bar is an engineering problem. It's your engineering problem — and you'll be solving it directly on the platforms our clients touch every day: the web portal, the mobile apps, the APIs. This isn't back-office plumbing. Every role in this hub builds client-facing products, and the mission is unambiguous: build the best banking-and-payments experience in the market.

We also expect you to be AI-native. Not "curious about AI" — fluent. You use AI coding tools as a genuine force multiplier in how you build, and you know how to design AI into the product — so clients get answers and outcomes instead of forms and waiting.

We're opening a new engineering hub in Valencia , and you'd be one of its founding product engineers — not employee #400, but one of the first setting how this team builds, what "good" means here, and which product bets are worth making.

• →Provide technical leadership across one or more critical domains, owning the design and evolution of large-scale, business-critical systems within our global financial platform.
• →Set architectural direction by leading system design, making high-leverage technical decisions, and driving alignment on long-term technology strategy across teams.
  Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to translate business outcomes into scalable, resilient technical solutions, influencing roadmap decisions and trade-offs.
• →Operate across the full system lifecycle, from early discovery and architecture through to production operations, reliability, performance, and cost optimisation.
  Raise the technical bar organisation-wide by defining and evolving engineering standards, guiding design reviews, and mentoring senior engineers to multiply impact beyond your own code.
• →Act as a force multiplier by identifying systemic risks, technical debt, and cross-team dependencies early, and proactively driving initiatives that improve velocity, quality, and resilience at scale.
• →Champion engineering excellence through strong opinions on testing strategies, CI/CD, observability, and operational readiness, ensuring systems are secure, compliant, and production-grade.

We believe in inclusion. We stand against discrimination in all forms and are against the intolerance of differences that makes us a modern and successful organisation. At Ebury, you can be whoever you want to be and still feel a sense of belonging no matter your story.

• Strong technical foundation in computer science or a closely related discipline, gained through formal education and/or equivalent industry experience, with evidence of continuous learning and technical depth.
• Extensive experience building and operating production systems at scale. While this often aligns with 10+ years in industry, we value demonstrated impact, sound judgement, and leadership over tenure alone.
• Deep understanding of core computer science concepts — including data structures, algorithms, system design, and complexity trade-offs and the ability to apply them pragmatically to real-world, high-scale problems.
  Proven ability to design, write, and evolve high-quality software in one or more modern programming languages, with a strong focus on maintainability, performance, and operational robustness.
• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, able to decompose ambiguous, multi-dimensional problems and drive them to clear, effective technical outcomes.
  Strong communication and influencing skills, capable of articulating complex technical ideas clearly, building alignment across teams, and constructively challenging assumptions at all levels.
• A collaborative, leadership mindset, with a track record of mentoring engineers, raising technical standards, and contributing positively to engineering culture beyond individual delivery.
