Head of Engineering, Rewards

The Company is seeking a Head of Engineering for its Rewards platform, a key component of the company's retention strategy. The successful candidate will be responsible for owning the technical strategy, architecture, and roadmap of the platform, with a focus on evolving the current cashback product into a comprehensive rewards, retention, engagement, and personalization platform. This role is pivotal in the company's mission to expand access to financial services and will involve building and leading a large engineering organization, with a strong emphasis on direct-to-consumer product engineering, experimentation, and growth. The Head of Engineering will work closely with commercial stakeholders to translate business objectives into engineering initiatives and will be expected to have a strong background in front-end and mobile engineering, as well as experience in building and scaling engineering teams. Applicants for the Head of Engineering position at the company should have a minimum of 10 years of software engineering experience, with at least 5 years in a managerial role, and a proven track record in direct-to-consumer product engineering. The role requires a leader with genuine front-end and mobile depth, hands-on experience in A/B testing, and a strong background in growth engineering. While experience in rewards, loyalty, gamification, or growth platforms is advantageous, it is not a strict requirement. The ideal candidate will be culturally aligned with the company's values, demonstrating customer obsession, craft, systemization, urgency, ownership, no ego, candor, and integrity. Success in this role will be measured by the performance of the cashback product, the establishment of a credible rewards platform roadmap, and the contribution of the rewards platform to customer retention and engagement.
