Director, Software Development

Onbe, a fast-growing FinTech, bringing innovation to a rapidly growing global marketplace, stands for “on behalf.” Because that’s exactly how we work: on behalf of our clients, as their comprehensive payments partner. We transform the way payments are imagined — as an opportunity for innovation, a source of insight to customers, and a way to connect with partners around the globe!

We are seeking a Director of Software Development with deep experience as a people and technology leader responsible for delivering Finance and Operations solutions that support both the business and the Onbe Platform. This role provides technical leadership across multiple engineering teams, ensuring that our finance, billing, settlement, and operational capabilities are scalable, reliable, and aligned with Onbe’s growth objectives. The Senior Director will manage and develop a team of engineering leaders, own end-to-end delivery of key initiatives, and play a major role in the department’s technical vision and direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with Finance, Operations, Product, and Technology leadership to translate business strategy into a clear engineering roadmap and delivery plan.
• Define, communicate, and continuously refine the software development strategy in alignment with Onbe’s goals, including modernization, resiliency, and cost efficiency.
• Supervise and analyze engineering and delivery metrics (e.g., throughput, lead time, quality, availability) to assess performance and drive continuous improvement.
• Champion the use of AI and automation across the SDLC (requirements, design, coding, testing, deployment, monitoring) to improve both velocity and quality.
• Ensure predictable, high-quality delivery by balancing short-term commitments with long-term platform and architectural investments.
• Continuously refine delivery practices, team structures, and workflows to improve flow, transparency, and outcomes.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience leading software development teams and delivering sophisticated software projects in medium to large-scale environments.
• Proven experience leading people and technology: managing engineering managers/leads and influencing technical direction across multiple teams.
• Strong proficiency with modern application stacks, particularly Java and C#/.NET and their ecosystems (e.g., Spring/Spring Boot, ASP.NET Core), with experience applying these frameworks to build distributed, scalable, secure, and resilient services for cloud and data intensive systems.
• Experience and passion for utilizing AI in every aspect of the SDLC to improve development velocity and quality (e.g., AI-assisted coding, test generation, anomaly detection).
• Strong organizational, planning, and project/program management skills, including the ability to prioritize multiple initiatives and maintain a high level of attention to detail.
• Proven track record of using metrics and KPIs to manage engineering performance, guide decisions, and drive continuous improvement.
• Experience in Finance and/or Operations domains (e.g., payments, billing, invoicing, reconciliation, accounting, settlements, or similar transaction-heavy systems) is strongly preferred.
