Executive Director of Product Build the "Intelligent Decisioning System" that fraud experts will use. This is a fully funded technology accelerator operating in stealth mode, backed by one of the world's largest financial institutions. You get founder-level autonomy, startup speed, and zero runway anxiety, all at once. Disconnected MacBooks. GCP/AWS. No Jira. No red tape. No legacy constraints. You are not being hired because you understand fraud. You are being hired to build the system that fraud experts use. Half of what you will build has never been built before. The other half requires imagination, serious machine learning thinking, and the ability to work comfortably in uncharted waters. Both halves matter enormously. The Opportunity Out of the successful launch of a world-class consumer banking platform in 2021, a new team formed with a new mission. That mission is yours to help deliver. This is a fully backed technology accelerator, incubated inside one of the world's most powerful financial institutions, building at startup speed on a next-generation cloud platform. The team is in stealth mode. Flat structure. Culture-heavy, process-light. You work as part of focused tribes and squads, close to the doing and close to the decision-making. The product you will build will eventually power fraud detection for tens of millions of active customers globally. This is a senior individual contributor role. You will be driving early, material product decisions on a greenfield AI/ML-centric fraud risk platform, spanning reactive fraud detection and proactive fraud prevention. You will not be managing a team from day one. What you will be doing is shaping the architecture of something that has never been built quite like this before. What You Will Be Doing Greenfield AI/ML Product Direction: You will define the strategy, roadmap, and prioritisation for a zero-to-one fraud risk product, delivering capabilities across workflow orchestration, data integration, model development, and case management. Building: You will architect and ship real-time systems that detect events, enrich them, and execute rules-based machine learning models at systemic speed and scale. First Principles Problem Solving: You will break down genuinely hard problems from scratch. The known half of this product needs sharp prioritisation and disciplined delivery. The unknown half needs imagination, scenario thinking, and comfort operating in uncharted territory. Agentic and LLM Thinking: You will bring experience with agentic workflows, prompt engineering, and large language models to solve real-world fraud challenges in ways that go beyond traditional rules engines. Exceptional Communication: Written clarity is a core part of the culture here. The team values people who are economical with their time and precise with their opinions. Your documentation will need to be as sharp as your product instincts. Engineering Partnership: You will ship with care and quality alongside elite engineering teams, working as a true peer to drive technical and product alignment in a highly regulated environment. What We Are Looking For Zero-to-One B2B DNA: You have shipped complex B2B products or infrastructure-heavy platforms from a blank page. This is non-negotiable. Fraud and Decisioning Experience: You have hands-on experience building fraud, dynamic assessment, or real-time decisioning products. Critically, you build the platforms that fraud experts use, not the fraud expertise itself. Technical Depth: You have built underlying data platforms, ML model environments, or real-time decisioning infrastructure. You think in APIs and backend architecture, not consumer UIs. Curiosity and Craft: You have a genuine bias toward quality, a head for fintech, and you thrive when things change quickly and require you to learn fast. Seniority Without the Politics: You have Executive or VP-level seniority but prefer craft over corporate process. You roll up your sleeves. You are low on politics and high on conviction. Structure: Senior individual contributor. No immediate people management, though this may evolve as the platform scales. Why This Matters You are not building a feature. You are building an intelligent decisioning system that will drive systemic change at the scale of the world's largest bank. The previous candidates reviewed for this role fell into two camps: fraud experts without zero-to-one build experience, or zero-to-one builders who only know B2C. If you sit outside both of those camps, this conversation is worth having. If you are a builder who wants real impact, real autonomy, and none of the instability of an early-stage startup, reach out directly. This is a confidential search.

The platform runs AI agents and background workflows in production, at massive scale. Some customers execute hundreds of millions of jobs per month. The team is ~13 people. There are no engineering managers. Engineers own large parts of the system and work directly with the founders on architecture. The core challenge right now is infrastructure scale. Execution volume is growing faster than the team can build, which means the next hires are walking into a genuine distributed systems problem, not a greenfield rebuild or a dashboard feature. What you'll be working on • Scaling the infrastructure that executes millions to billions of AI agent workflows per month, • Designing and operating reliable systems under extreme concurrency and rapid load spikes, • Building secure execution environments for user-generated code (Firecracker micro-VMs), • Server lifecycle management — spinning capacity up and down rapidly under load, • Observability and reliability tooling across the platform The stack • TypeScript (99% of the codebase), • PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, • Go emerging as a second language — experience is a bonus but not required, • Kubernetes background useful (they're evolving away from it, but the mindset matters) What they're looking for • Backend engineers who've operated systems at serious scale — fintech, devtools, or infrastructure-heavy SaaS, • Deep understanding of distributed systems, reliability, and infrastructure design, • Comfortable owning large surface areas with minimal direction, • Engineers who use AI tooling heavily — this is screened for directly in the interview, • High intrinsic motivation — the team moves fast and doesn't slow down for anyone What they're not looking for • Full-stack engineers whose instinct is to reach for the frontend, • Anyone who needs structured management to ship, • Candidates coming from large enterprises or low-velocity environments Comp • Senior: £136k–£150k + ~0.3% equity, • Staff: £164k–£180k + ~0.3% equity, • Paid trial day as part of the process (£400) The bar is high. The trial day has roughly a 10% pass rate. But if you've built backend systems at scale and you're the kind of engineer who finds that motivating rather than off-putting — drop me a message.

Most blockchain engineering roles are someone's research playground waiting for a token launch. This isn't that. This is production infrastructure already live — tokenising real-world assets onchain via a regulated, asset-backed digital security structure. Live product. Real onboarding, custody, issuance, redemption. A regulated infrastructure platform transitioning from single-product business to a multi-partner platform across alternative asset classes. Small engineering team, hands-on culture, no research sandbox. You'll own and evolve the Solidity layer end-to-end: token issuance, redemption, wallet flows, upgrade patterns, modular contracts powering future white-label deployments. You'll troubleshoot live production issues, own audits and security reviews with external partners. This isn't 90% architecture and 10% code — it's the inverse. Stack: Solidity, EVM, Foundry/Hardhat, ERC-20/721, upgradeable patterns, plus heavy AI tooling baked into the day-to-day (Claude, Cursor, Copilot). Strong Solidity production fundamentals required. Familiarity with ERC standards, security best practices, and common attack vectors. Backend and API integration experience essential. AI dev tooling fluency is a hard ask, not a nice-to-have. Bonus: wallet infrastructure, regulated fintech, upgradeable patterns, supporting live blockchain products with real users and real assets. Suitable for engineers who've shipped contracts that hold real money — not theoretical TVL. Ex-DeFi protocol engineers ready for the institutional side. Builders, not researchers. Low ego, high self-worth. Not for you if you want to ship another testnet experiment, or if your interest in blockchain is purely speculative. £75k–£95k base + options for the right person. London, in-office. No CV required to start the chat. Message Kieran on LinkedIn to fast track.
