Payouts.com is reimagining how companies move money. We’re an early-stage fintech startup building the future of accounts payable, payments, reconciliation, and cashflow management — and we’re looking for an experienced Team Lead to guide our growing engineering group.

• Contribute directly to backend development (Node.js) while supporting frontend collaboration (React).
• Oversee delivery of features end-to-end, from planning to deployment.
• Champion quality, reliability, and scalability in everything we ship.

• 7+ years of experience in software development.
• 2+ years of leadership responsibilities.
• Strong backend expertise (Node.js, APIs, databases, cloud environments).
• Solid experience with system architecture and scaling production systems.
• Ability to mentor, manage, and inspire engineers.
• Bonus: fintech/payments experience.

• Huge impact - shape the product and the team from the ground up.
• Build meaningful tech powering global business payouts.
