Job summary

Fenergo in Dublin is seeking an experienced Technical Team Lead to guide a group of software engineers building enterprise SaaS solutions for financial crime compliance. You will stay hands-on with code while mentoring the team, making key architectural decisions, and aligning technical delivery with product goals.

We value strong Python and AWS expertise, experience with React, and a track record of delivering secure, multi-tenant systems.

Qualifications

8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2–3+ years leading engineering teams that build SaaS products.
Strong, hands-on Python development skills; familiarity with a modern front-end framework (e.g. React) is a plus.
Extensive AWS experience (Lambda, DynamoDB, Redshift, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, SNS/SQS).
Strong system design and event-driven architecture judgement with regard to tooling and technical investment.
Experience using AI coding tools responsibly, including code review and security considerations.
Experience building and running secure, multi-tenant systems with GDPR compliance and security standards.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with Product and stakeholders across the business.
Nice to have FinTech, AML, or transaction monitoring exposure.

Responsibilities

Lead the design of scalable, resilient, and secure SaaS solutions on AWS, and own key technical decisions and their trade-offs with the team and across teams.
Translate business strategy into a clear technical roadmap. Work closely with Product to refine requirements, test assumptions and share accountability for outcomes.
Deliver predictably and to a high standard: manage scope and priorities, remove blockers, and adapt plans as new information emerges.
Lead, mentor, line‑manage and grow a high‑performing engineering team, give clear direction and regular feedback, and support each engineer's career development.
Make sure the team meets the security, data‑protection and resilience standards our regulated financial‑services clients expect.
Own production health: observability, reliability, incident response and continuous improvements.
Champion engineering best practice in code quality, testing and CI/CD, balancing speed of delivery with long‑term maintainability.
Drive effective, everyday use of AI‑assisted development across the team (e.g. AI coding assistants, AI‑assisted code review, test generation and agent‑based workflows), with clear guardrails and measurable gains in productivity and quality.
Build a culture of ownership, open technical debate and experimentation, where both successes and failures are shared and learned from. Model Fenergo's values in how you communicate and make decisions.
