About Quartz Quartz is reimagining wealth management through personalised intelligence. It's the first wealth platform that truly learns from you, understands your goals, and helps you make confident, informed decisions all in one secure platform. Get the experience of a personal banker that works with you 24/7, at a fraction of the cost. About The Role We're looking for our Head of Engineering to own how Quartz is built, from early architecture decisions to the team that scales it alongside you. This is a player-coach role: you'll write code in the critical paths while shaping the roadmap across BE, FE and ML, and hiring the team around you. The architectural calls you make here will define Quartz for years — the kind of decisions that are easy to get wrong and expensive to unwind. This role is for someone who excels at first principle thinking, has scaled backend systems before, and is comfortable pulling apart established playbooks to rebuild them for a software-first, AI-native world. If you're looking to do meaningful work and you're not driven by a nine to five mentality, you might be just who we're looking for.
