Synctera is a platform banking and payments company that provides APIs and a SaaS platform to help FinTechs, embedded finance builders, and banks launch and operate banking products. It offers core banking, card programs, bank accounts, money-movement services, onboarding, operational tooling, and compliance and risk-management features, while partnering with insured sponsor banks to provide actual banking services (Synctera itself is not a bank). The platform emphasizes compliance, sponsor bank oversight, and developer-friendly APIs to build, launch, and scale financial products.

📋 Description

• Lead and develop engineers across multiple backend and platform teams, including coaching, performance feedback, hiring, and day-to-day prioritization • Turn ambiguous work into a clear execution plan and keep that plan aligned with product, engineering, and business stakeholders • Partner closely with engineers on architecture and technical tradeoffs across customer-facing products and the shared platform services that support them • Stay close enough to the technical work to review approaches, unblock decisions, and contribute code when it makes sense • Support teams building reliable backend and platform systems, including event-driven services, operational workflows, internal tooling, shared infrastructure, and data-intensive applications • Improve how the team works by tightening scope, raising execution quality, and ensuring engineers have the context they need to move quickly • Work cross-functionally with product, compliance, and other engineering teams to surface risks early and keep delivery grounded in business needs • Help the team balance roadmap commitments with platform maintenance, operational responsibilities, and long-term investments in reliability, scalability, and engineering quality
