Tech Lead - Decision Technology

Technical leadership:

• Lead four engineers working on the modelling platform and surrounding systems; help the team deliver high-quality solutions.
• Raise engineering standards across modelling systems and infrastructure, with a focus on reliability, observability, reproducibility, and safe change.
• Set technical direction by understanding adjacent systems, workflows, and constraints to identify the right problems to solve at the right time.

Individual contribution:

• Stay hands-on in the codebase, especially when the team is dealing with ambiguity, cross-system complexity, or problems without an obvious owner.
• Lead by example in how problems are approached and how rigour is balanced with speed of delivery.
• Contribute directly to the systems that matter most, making pragmatic changes that reduce friction, strengthen the platform, and improve reliability in production.

Work that matters:

• Engineering decisions in this area directly affect the accuracy of our credit decisions and the volume of lending iwoca can responsibly support.
• Better infrastructure leads to faster experimentation and better models.
• Help the team to work faster and with more confidence in the platform; work with data scientists and strategy analysts to maintain the feedback loop between analysis, strategy and engineering.
