Engineering Team Lead for an Innovative Fintech Startup

We are a midsized Fintech startup company currently in the relaunch phase. As we are still in prelaunch stage, we cannot fully reveal the brand and name of the company. However, we can reveal our startup idea and what we are trying to achieve.

We are a Fintech Startup company focused on empowering women entrepreneurs. We are building systems which would enable short term lending for micro and small women entrepreneurs at an interest rate or commission fee that would be affordable to such entrepreneurs.

The objective is to encourage them to continue to thrive in the situations wherein they have a cash crunch due to bad business days. As such entrepreneurs operate at such low scale, it is given that they do not completely understand the seasonality and adverse impacts of externalities. Hence, they might be easily discouraged to give up at an early stage and we want to ensure that most of them will finally make it and we grow along with them.

We are currently looking for an Engineering Lead who will join the founder’s team and help build the engineering team that will be responsible for developing the core product and user facing mobile apps of the company.
