VP Engineering

What is Finary?

Our mission is to change how money can work for you. We're building the one-stop shop for investing, where you can track your assets, manage your budget, invest, and learn, giving power back to investors. Mounir launched Finary in 2021, and we've since crossed 1,000,000 users. We ship cutting-edge products with touches of delight, and we care deeply about experience, performance, and ease of use.

Why now?

A new generation of investors is emerging: ambitious and involved. Money is no longer taboo, and the pension system is under tremendous pressure. We see a world where investing empowers everybody to live the life they've always dreamt of. To fuel that, we raised a €25M Series B in September 2025, backed by PayPal Ventures, Hedosophia, Y Combinator, and Speedinvest, alongside world‑class founders and operators like Steve Anavi & Alexandre Prot (Qonto), Matthieu Rouif (Photoroom), Eric Demuth (Bitpanda), Axel Weber (former UBS Chairman), and Harsh Sinha (CTO at Wise). There's never been a more exciting time to join.

What We Offer

• A high-performing team: work with A-players across every discipline, in an environment that challenges you and helps you grow fast.
• Ownership from day one: freedom, responsibility, and trust. We hire for talent and get out of the way.
• Impact that matters: build a product that helps people take control of their financial future.
• A hybrid setup: teammates across France and Europe, meeting in person in Paris six times a year and partial presence in Paris.
• Competitive compensation: €150,000 to €180,000 + meaningful equity, aligned with your experience and impact.
• A high-impact role reporting directly to the CEO, with real authority over engineering to build the AI intelligence layer for European personal finance.

What We Don't Care About

• Your degree or your school. We care about what you bring to the team.
• Ping pong tables, free laundry, or trendy perks. We focus on what truly matters.

About The Role

• Own engineering end-to-end: people, architecture, hiring, delivery, and quality across all squads.
• Build an AI-native org where AI is the default for code, tests, reviews, and deploys, targeting 3 to 5x output per engineer, measured.
• Ship the AI-powered one-stop-shop for money: autonomous agents and personalized financial guidance built on our proprietary data.
• Set the 10-year technical vision and grow Finary's engineering brand to attract A+ talent.

You'd Be a Great Fit If You:

• Have personally led an AI-native transformation at a 20+ engineer org: restructured how the team builds, with before/after metrics to prove it.
• Have scaled an engineering team to 30+ in a high-growth startup.
• Are backend-strong and still hands‑on today, ready to code the first AI agent yourself.
• Are an AI Pioneer: you've rebuilt your own workflow around AI and shipped AI for others, and can prove it live.
• Build A-player teams that follow you across companies.
• Manage your own money actively and have a point of view on investing.

Bonus Points If You:

• Have led inside fintech or a trust-heavy product.
• Were a founder, co-founder, or first technical hire at a startup that scaled.
• Are based in or ready to relocate to France.
