You’ll manage a team of 6 engineers distributed across Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, and partner directly with the Heads of Product, Design, and Business Analytics. The team is small, collaborative, and high-impact, operating with the ownership culture of a startup within a scaling FinTech. There is a real opportunity here to shape not just what gets built, but how the team works: setting the processes and AI-first practices that will help a fast-growing team ship quickly, scale safely, and realize the full benefits of AI adoption. The role reports to the Senior Engineering Director and is based in Mexico City.

• AI-first habits: A daily, personal practice of using AI tools in your own work, plus a demonstrated track record of setting team-wide standards and actively supporting engineers in adopting AI in their workflows.

• Cross-functional communication: Strong written and verbal skills in both English and Spanish, with the ability to work fluidly with Product, Design, and Analytics stakeholders and represent engineering clearly in business conversations.

• Technical direction: Drive architectural decisions and quality standards across the team’s backend services, frontend mini-programs, and WhatsApp integrations. Review designs, unblock engineers, and prototype with AI tools when the team needs it.

• Process improvement: Establish and continuously improve engineering processes that increase the team’s velocity, consistency, and reliability as the product scales.

• AI-first culture: Set AI tooling standards, define adoption practices, and actively support every engineer in building productive AI habits into their daily work.
