We’re building the best savings account in the world of the future. It’s our mission to empower the mobile-first generation to save, invest and build real wealth seamlessly, effortlessly and innovatively. We’re kicking down the door on what’s been done, rejecting the hand we’re dealt, and we’re rewriting a new future for wealth management; one where everyone wins. A future defined by automation, machine learning and cutting edge technology.
Without the worry of savings, you have more time to think big, think about the future. You have freedom. Chip is the future of savings and investing, and we’re not going to stop until the whole world knows it. Chip is being built by a fast-growing team of designers, developers, customer service professionals, marketers, banking experts, and entrepreneurs, with the backing of more than 11,000 investors and a huge community of Chip savers.
We’re growing fast and we have some very exciting plans. We’re looking for a Backend Squad Lead to help us make them happen. We are looking for a talented and dedicated Backend Squad Lead to help us build out a world beating feature set.
As Backend Squad Lead of our new scrum team you’ll be responsible for developing new features and services to help us continue to deliver a great product to our customers that helps our company and their money grow. In this role, you should be an excellent communicator who is able to translate complex requirements into functional architecture. We’d also like you to have hands-on experience on software development and be able to manage and understand our monolith and more importantly embrace our engineering values.
What you can expect to be doing:
You will be working closely with the ExCo, ELT, Product, Operations, Marketing and Finance teams to scope out new features, drive the development of new API capabilities and own their delivery. You will be expected to take responsibility for creating the delivery roadmap for all features being built by your team and be able to provide regular delivery updates on features to non-technical staff.
You will work with stakeholders across this business to coordinate feature rollout. You will identify risks and dependencies to feature delivery, providing mitigation options wherever possible. You will also work closely with our Head of Engineering on making architectural decisions both from an application and infrastructure standpoint.
Thought leadership and an ability to make sure that technical discussions do not stagnate is key within this role. Leading by example in the development of proof of concepts and managing a team of experienced engineers will be a regular component of this role as well as being involved in show & tell sessions with the goal of helping enable not just the engineers but the whole company in understanding what it is to be an engineer at Chip. You will also be expected to work closely with our Head of Talent in recruiting into our teams when required.

What we’re really looking for:✍️
Although we’re in the financial space, and under the scrutiny that comes with it, the current engineering team works well together, and even sometimes with a smile. We’re sure you’ve got the technical skills, otherwise you would have stopped reading by now, so let us be clear in what will make us want to work with you.
We want a real person, with interests outside of code, to join our work family. You could be a dancer, a gamer, a musician, a parent, a hockey fan, or even that one person that still writes Twilight fan-fiction. Doesn’t matter to us. At the interview stages will be looking for empathy, eq, fun stories, and ability to smile even when things are tough. Code monkeys need not apply.
