VP Engineering | Stockholm | Fintech | Hybrid

edenity partners with companies at inflection points; moments where engineering organisations need to evolve structurally, not just incrementally.

We’re currently supporting a Nordic fintech operating within a high-availability, regulated environment as they appoint a VP Engineering to lead the next phase of technical and organisational maturity.

The business has strong foundations, an established engineering function and meaningful scale already in place. The focus now is modernising how engineering operates across a team of ~60 engineers, with AI-native workflows, sharper execution standards and stronger operational consistency becoming central to the organisation’s future direction.

The Role

Lead and evolve a 50-60 person engineering organisation
Establish scalable AI-assisted and agentic engineering workflows
Improve delivery quality, velocity and engineering consistency
Drive organisational and operational change across engineering teams
Partner with executive leadership on technical strategy and transformation
Raise standards around architecture, testing, deployment safety and engineering rigor
Support performance management, organisational design and selective hiring upgrades where needed
Operate effectively within a regulated, business-critical environment where stability and uptime matter

We’re Looking For

Significant senior engineering leadership experience within complex product or infrastructure businesses
Strong technical judgement and architectural depth
Hands-on understanding of modern AI-assisted software development practices
Experience leading engineering teams through change and operational scaling
Comfortable operating across both executive strategy and engineering detail
Direct communicator with strong decision-making capability and organisational resilience

Technical Environment

The environment includes a modern cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, internal operational platforms and customer-facing product infrastructure across backend-heavy engineering teams.

AI tooling and assisted development practices already exist internally, but adoption and workflows are currently inconsistent. This role exists to unify and accelerate that evolution in a structured, production-safe way.

edenity partners with companies building and scaling product, engineering, data, and AI teams at critical moments of growth. Whether entering new markets, adopting new technologies, or moving from early technical traction to scalable delivery, we work alongside founders and leadership teams to build capability intentionally, not reactively (the key difference). Our work spans the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Nordics, supporting organisations that need to strengthen technical depth while continuing to ship, scale, and evolve. We combine three things that rarely sit together: Market insight: real-time intelligence on how product, data, and engineering functions are evolving Operator-led community: deeply nurtured networks of technical talent and leaders Hands-on delivery: embedded support to help teams hire, structure, and execute at pace This means our work often sits between traditional functions. Part talent. Part strategy. Part execution. Because the challenges of building modern technical organisations don’t belong neatly in one department. Alongside this, we’ve built Curated, an ecosystem designed to support early-stage women founders and create clearer, more credible pathways between applied technical skill and how companies actually hire. Our work sits at the intersection of insight, community, and execution, because building great teams today requires all three. There is no off-the-shelf solution to building great teams. So we don’t offer one.
