Description

As Head of Engineering, Field Verification, your responsibilities will include:

  • Owning the technical strategy, architecture and roadmap for the Field Verification platform end to end, and setting direction for a domain that has been running without dedicated engineering leadership.
  • Moving the platform from keep-the-lights-on operation to deliberate, prioritised development.
  • Leading and growing the existing cross-functional team, and building the organisation out as scope expands.
  • Building the operational efficiency layer — trip and route optimisation, task allocation and capacity management for field officers.
  • Owning the platform's client-facing surface: the APIs and webhooks that other business units integrate with, and the back office those units rely on.
  • Delivering a native mobile experience for field officers.
  • Ensuring verification data is structured, auditable and fit for compliance scrutiny.
  • Building for multi-country expansion as Moniepoint enters new markets.
  • Partnering closely with Product and with the business units that depend on the platform — onboarding, loans, compliance and fraud.
  • Defining architecture standards, engineering processes and quality metrics, and hiring and developing engineers and Engineering Managers.

Who you are

  • You have built things yourself, and grew into leadership from there. We are explicit about this: we are not looking for someone who moved into management early and has led from a distance since. We want an engineer who became a leader.
  • You are capable across disciplines. Backend, web and mobile. This platform spans all three and you will need credibility in each — a specialist in one layer will struggle here.
  • You have built platforms, not just products. Systems used by several distinct groups of users and internal business units, with the flexibility to serve requirements you did not anticipate.
  • You are a problem solver first. We would rather have someone adaptable than someone with the exact domain experience. Having built across different industries — fintech, e-commerce, logistics or otherwise — is a positive signal, not a scattered CV.
  • You have 10+ years of overall software engineering experience, with substantial hands-on production engineering and strong backend depth. Our backend environment is Java and Spring Boot.
  • You have at least 5 years of engineering leadership, including managing Engineering Managers.
  • You collaborate well with product and business stakeholders, and can translate operational requirements into engineering solutions.
  • Experience working with location and geospatial data is a strong plus, including map integrations.
  • Experience with route, trip or delivery optimisation is a strong plus.
  • Experience building for compliance — where data must be structured to evidence what was done and when — is a strong plus.
  • Experience with identity, KYC or verification platforms is a plus. None of these four are requirements.
