Lead Engineer - AI Payments App

Bjak is seeking a full-time lead engineer in the United Kingdom to oversee the technical direction of an AI payments application. On a daily basis, the position involves balancing high-level system architecture with direct programming, reviewing peer contributions, and solving intricate technical defects. You will guide engineering initiatives from their initial concepts through to live releases, creating robust frameworks that connect server components, user interfaces, data storage, network endpoints, and operational infrastructure. In addition, the duties include producing initial prototypes, diagnosing live operational issues, mentoring teammates, and determining structural compromises between development speed and long-term stability. The post calls for comprehensive knowledge across backend services, frontend builds, database management, and API design, accompanied by the capability to shift smoothly between high-level architectural planning and direct coding. While the posting does not mandate formal academic credentials, specific years of background, or explicit language skills, it highlights an international workforce that operates out of regional hubs as well as remotely. This opportunity is suited to dedicated professionals who are driven by a desire to innovate rather than monitoring their working hours. It will appeal to ambitious technologists who want to dismantle conventional boundaries and craft transformative financial tools for the general public.
