VP of Engineering

At Bondora, our mission is clear: to empower people to enjoy life more while alleviating the stress of managing finances. Founded in 2008, Bondora has proudly served a diverse community of over 1 million customers for an impressive 16 years.

As a rapidly growing financial technology company, we’re reaching new heights with a bold vision. We’re set to acquire a banking license, unlocking a world of possibilities for our customers. Our investment product is available Europe-wide, and we’re actively expanding our loan product footprint to 11 new countries.

Join us on this journey and let’s build the future of finance together!

What is this role about?

As VP of Engineering, you’ll strive towards clarity that allows people to problem solve independently, keep everyone towards high quality standards and challenge solutions on pragmatism and simplicity. You’ll carry a loud voice when it comes to technology and users, and don’t shy away from opinions about the business. You’ll also be a member of the Product Leadership team, building one of the strongest product engineering teams on the planet (It's not an exaggeration ;)).

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Take ownership and continuously improve all aspects of engineering: speed, effectiveness, quality, and impact
• Hire, coach and support product-driven engineering teams, making sure that they have the clarity and courage to make decisions for their products.
• Drive excellence in Internal IT, Security and Site Reliability Engineering as part of your team.
• Together with the Chief Architect, define the technical roadmap and ensure it’s known and implemented (tied to company short-term and strategic priorities, risks, and opportunities)
• As part of Product Leadership, build a product & engineering organization to be proud of. As you’ll be joining early, there’s still a lot of room to be opinionated and make it in your own image.

What you’ll bring:

• 7+ years of experience in leading engineering teams
• Strong understanding of software engineering (code quality, continuous deployment, databases, cloud)
• Product-driven and with previous experience in a fast-growing product company.
• Strong problem-solving skills.
• Bonus if you have previous experience
• In a regulated industry. Preferably Finance or Credit.
• Building mobile products.
• Applying agentic coding practices.
