Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

Who we’re looking for

You’re an experienced engineering leader with an intense interest in understanding people and helping them be more effective in teams.

  • Prior engineering management experience with proven people development track record

  • Experience supporting delivery across multiple technical workstreams

  • Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Demonstrated ability to navigate complex organisational dynamics

  • Experience with Clojure and/or JavaScript environments (helps you offer more specific guidance)

  • Background in fintech or adjacent regulated industries

  • Experience scaling engineering teams during rapid growth periods

  • History of successfully working in matrix organisational structures

Success looks like

  • Team Health : Improved retention, engagement scores, and team satisfaction

  • Delivery Performance : Increased predictability, velocity, and quality metrics

  • Leadership Effectiveness : Reduced escalations to senior leadership

  • Talent Development : Growth in technical and leadership capabilities within your team

  • Recruitment Success : Effective time-to-fill, quality of hires, and onboarding

Working with us

Lifecheq values technical depth, autonomy, and clear thinking. You’ll be part of a capable team that enjoys solving hard problems together and takes pride in doing things properly. It’s a collaborative, engineering-driven environment where well-reasoned decisions carry weight and your ideas will be taken seriously.

This is a fully remote role requiring fluency in English and availability during core hours (10:00-16:00 GMT+2). For South African residents, this will be a permanent position; otherwise, a contract arrangement.

We take the development of our people very seriously and will work with you to carve out your success plan, accelerate your career, and make a real difference in the lives of real people seeking better lives.
