Job Description

• Scale the engineering team and processes to support a growing pipeline of customers, while maintaining high standards of delivery and team cohesion • Set the engineering roadmap for your product area in coordination with Product and Engineering leadership • Deliver high-impact features and operational improvements (performance, scalability, reliability) that directly drive Butter’s mission (recovering failed payments, reducing client churn) • Coach, mentor and build a strong engineering team: hire, develop engineers, establish engineering practices (code review, CI/CD, metrics) • Drive technical excellence: system design, scalable architecture, ML pipeline integration, monitoring/observability • Collaborate with Data Science, Product, Customer Success and Sales to align engineering work with business impact and client outcomes • Measure and report on team performance, product delivery outcomes, and key engineering metrics (velocity, defect rate, uptime, latency) • Foster a culture aligned with Butter’s values: 'burn the boat' (take bold bets), 'survive and advance' (resilient and curious), and 'diamond hands' (master the craft)

  • Experience working with data/ML pipelines, real-time decisioning systems or high-volume transaction systems preferred
  • Experience with payments, subscription business models, fintech, or SaaS is a strong plus

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills: ability to work cross-functionally (Product, Data Science, GTM)
  • Passion for scaling small teams into high-impact organisations, building culture, and growing engineers
