Every day, billions of financial transactions move through the world's banking system.
Within that flow are fraud signals, compliance risks and operational issues. Vyntra helps financial institutions understand what's happening in real time and act on it.
Trusted by more than 130 financial institutions across 60+ countries, our Transaction Observability platform helps banks monitor, search and optimise vast volumes of transaction data at scale.
We're looking for a Software Engineering Team Lead to join our team in Mechelen.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys leading engineers but still wants to stay close to the technology.
You'll lead a small team delivering customer-facing solutions built on our Transaction Observability platform, while remaining involved in technical discussions, solution design and engineering decisions. You'll also play a key role in supporting the development of your team and ensuring customer projects are delivered successfully.
This is not a role where you'll spend your time managing layers of people or sitting in endless meetings. We are looking for somebody who enjoys solving problems, working with customers, helping engineers grow and taking ownership of delivery.
Our platform is built in Java and makes extensive use of technologies including Elasticsearch, Apache Kafka and Kubernetes. You don't need experience with everything on that list, but we'd love to hear about any exposure you've had.
What you'll be doing
* Leading a small team of software engineers, supporting their development through coaching, mentoring and regular feedback
* Owning the technical delivery of customer projects and key workstreams
* Working with customers, project managers and stakeholders to turn requirements into practical solutions
* Supporting solution design and helping engineers navigate technical challenges
* Reviewing code and maintaining high engineering standards
* Managing priorities, risks and dependencies to keep projects on track
* Helping improve the way we work as we continue to grow
* Supporting the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices across the delivery lifecycle (we actively use Claude throughout engineering and delivery)
* Balancing technical leadership, people leadership and delivery ownership
We'd love to hear from you if you have
* A strong software engineering background, ideally in Java-based environments
* Experience leading projects, mentoring engineers and managing small technical teams
* Experience working directly with customers, whether through delivery, implementation, consulting or professional services environments
* A practical understanding of modern software engineering practices and delivery methodologies
* Strong communication skills and the ability to build credibility with both engineers and stakeholders
* A collaborative approach and a genuine interest in helping others succeed
Why join Vyntra?
* Small teams and real ownership
* The opportunity to shape and grow a team
* Complex technical challenges involving large-scale transaction data
* A genuinely international business serving customers across the globe
* The chance to influence how AI is used in modern software delivery
* A role where leadership and technical contribution are equally valued
* A clear path to broader leadership responsibilities as the organisation grows
If you're looking for a role where you can lead engineers, stay close to technology and help deliver solutions that matter to some of the world's leading financial institutions, we'd love to hear from you.
