Head of Engineering

About the Role

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering who thrives on both building and leading — a player-coach who can architect scalable systems, write production-quality code, and inspire a team of top engineers. You’ll drive the technical vision behind LuminaData’s AI-powered finance automation platform , partnering closely with the Co-Founder and CTO to shape our product roadmap, scale infrastructure, and build a high-performance engineering culture.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who loves creating, iterating, and delivering — not just managing from the sidelines.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

  • Define and drive the company’s technical vision, architecture, and infrastructure strategy.
  • Design and implement scalable, secure, and high-performance backend systems.
  • Oversee architecture across frontend (React / Next.js) and backend (Python / Django) services for modularity and reliability.
  • Lead system design and optimization in AWS Cloud, leveraging ECS, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, RDS, API Gateway, and CloudWatch.
  • Establish and enforce best practices for CI / CD, testing, code reviews, and system monitoring.
  • Ensure cloud systems are secure, cost-efficient, and aligned with SOC2 and compliance standards.

Team Management

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team of engineers across frontend and backend.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, craftsmanship, and continuous learning.
  • Run effective sprint planning, code reviews, and technical design sessions.
  • Recruit and onboard world-class talent as the company scales.

    • Product & Delivery

  • Collaborate closely with Product and Design to turn business goals into scalable technical solutions.
  • Balance near-term execution with long-term architectural investments.
  • Ensure the platform delivers reliability, scalability, and performance at every layer.

    • Qualifications

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in a leadership or tech lead role.
  • Strong proficiency in Python (Django or FastAPI) and experience building APIs and distributed systems.
  • Proven experience managing AWS infrastructure (ECS, EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, API Gateway, CloudFormation / Terraform).
  • Familiarity with frontend frameworks (React / Next.js) and integrating backend services.
  • Deep understanding of system architecture, databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), and CI / CD pipelines.
  • Track record of building and scaling production systems in fast-paced environments.
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and mentorship skills.
  • Passion for building great products and leading by example — you code, you ship, you lead.

    • Bonus Points

  • Experience with AI / ML systems , data pipelines, or analytics-heavy platforms.
  • Exposure to finance, ERP, or automation workflows .
  • Prior startup or early-stage scaling experience.

    • Why Join LuminaData

    At LuminaData, we’re reimagining how finance teams work — building intelligent, AI-driven automation that eliminates manual drudgery and unlocks human creativity.

    As Head of Engineering, you’ll :

  • Own the technical direction of a fast-growing company.
  • Build and scale systems that redefine productivity in finance.
  • Shape an engineering culture grounded in innovation, velocity, and impact.
  • If you’re a builder at heart — someone who leads through code, clarity, and conviction — we’d love to meet you.
