Vice President of Technology
Thryve Talent ·www.thryvetalent.com
Apply directWe are a European fintech scale-up modernising payment infrastructure in a large, traditional industry that is finally ready for change.
Operating across multiple countries, we run high-volume live systems with real transactional responsibility. We combine startup speed with real operational complexity — and we have ambitious growth and certification goals ahead.
This is not a corporate environment. It’s high ownership, high accountability, and high impact.
The Role
We are looking for a VP of Technology who combines strong technical depth with real leadership capability — someone who can structure, scale quality, and take full ownership of engineering.
This is a hands-on executive role in a company where things change fast, decisions are made quickly, and accountability matters.
Your Responsibility
You will own the entire engineering organization:
- Lead ~25 developers (via Heads of)
- Oversee live production systems (Node.js / modern JS stack)
- Own cloud architecture, hosting, Docker & Kubernetes
- Drive DevOps, integrations, and delivery teams
- Ensure system reliability, security, and scalability
- Strengthen technical risk management (ISO readiness)
- Raise the bar in recruiting and seniority
You are responsible for both technology and people — structuring where needed, enabling autonomy where possible.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Have
- Experience owning live production applications
- Strong hands-on background in JavaScript / Node.js / Docker & Kubernetes
- Experience leading engineering teams in dynamic environments
- Proven hiring and evaluation experience
- Proven experience leading and scaling high-performing engineering teams
Mindset & Leadership
- High accountability — no blaming culture
- Solution-oriented and rational decision-maker
- Comfortable operating in change and ambiguity
- Curious about innovation, but not hype-driven
- Able to challenge constructively without ego
- Focused on outcomes over titles
If you are rigid about technology choices, overly political, or need heavy corporate structures — this environment will feel uncomfortable.
