Head of Engineering, Supply Chain

The Head of Engineering, POS Supply Chain, oversees that software estate and is vital as Moniepoint expands internationally and scales device operations globally. The position involves leading the technical strategy for the domain and managing a large engineering organisation in a remote, distributed environment. As Head of Engineering, Supply Chain, your responsibilities will include:

• Owning the technical strategy and architecture for inventory and logistics tools and repair management software.
• Leading an engineering organisation of approximately 25 engineers, including managers, QA, SRE and Data Engineering.
• Driving platformisation of inventory and supply chain systems so operational data is visible, trustworthy and consistent across millions of terminals.
• Bridging the gap between operational practice and software systems by building operationally disciplined solutions.
• Defining architecture standards, engineering processes and quality metrics across squads to ensure reliability and data integrity.
• Collaborating with business and operational stakeholders to translate operational requirements into engineering solutions.

Who You Are

• 10–15 years of overall software engineering experience, with at least 5 years leading engineering teams through growth phases.
• 5+ years of hands-on, production-level experience writing and shipping Java code as a practising engineer. This means years spent writing Java yourself, not years spent overseeing teams who write it.
• At least 5 years of experience managing managers - leading an engineering organisation through other engineering leaders, rather than running a single team.
• Deep hands-on experience in supply chain, inventory, warehouse or logistics software at scale.
• Fintech or regulated-industry experience, with an understanding of the operational stakes of device management in a payments environment.
• Strong backend engineering skills for data-intensive, distributed, operational systems.
• Proven system design ability at large scale, managing hundreds of thousands of devices or more.
• Experience managing and developing large engineering teams of 20 or more members.
• Excellent stakeholder management, translating complex technical concepts for non-technical leaders.
• A product-minded approach to solving operational problems with engineering solutions.
