To democratize access to amazing investment products and experiences via a world-class investment manager that serves everyday investors.
Role
Who you are
- 6-8+ years of industry experience, including at least 2 years managing engineering teams
- Strong product intuition with a proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners
- Exceptional communication skills, excelling in building scalable solutions and aligning with technical & non-technical stakeholders in dynamic, fast-paced environments
- Adept at navigating ambiguity and transforming business challenges into customer-centric, scalable engineering solutions
- A proven leader with a track record of growing and guiding high-performing engineering teams in evolving organizational contexts
- Passionate about supporting engineers in developing new skills and advancing their careers
- You embrace performance discussions as opportunities for growth and understand the critical role constructive feedback plays in fostering professional development
What the job involves
- We’re seeking an exceptional Head of Engineering to lead our Full Stack & Backend teams and play a central role in shaping the future of our organization
- In this role, you’ll oversee a team of highly skilled engineers, driving the development and enhancing the user experience across our cutting-edge applications
- As the Engineering Leader, you’ll establish the technical and cultural foundation for the team, fostering an environment that is supportive, innovative, and collaborative
- Your leadership will have a direct impact on the quality of the features we deliver, the scalability of our systems, and the professional growth of your team members
- You’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams—including Product, Design, and Business—to align technical initiatives with company goals, delivering meaningful solutions that empower people to grow their wealth
- Lead and inspire a team of talented engineers. Motivate the team to solve hard problems quickly in the uncertain environment of a start up
- Working collaboratively but also independently to build the right things. You and your team will play a significant role in deciding what Titan builds and how it builds it. If you just want product to tell you what to do this is not the right role for you
- Help the team balance pace and quality. Titan is a start up and we work hard and fast but we also deal with people’s money and trust and must always deliver a product that works well
- Recruit, grow, and retain top engineering talent across various disciplines to scale the team for future challenges
- Provide hands-on technical expertise when needed, actively contributing to problem-solving and critical decision-making
Our take
Titan is an investment management platform designed to help everyday investors, particularly millennials, manage their portfolios with ease and lower capital requirements. The company offers a unique approach to investing by providing access to sophisticated investment strategies traditionally reserved for large investors.
The platform works by analyzing the holdings of large hedge funds and selecting the top 20 stocks based on their performance. Titan then invests users' funds in fractional shares of these stocks, allowing for a diversified portfolio with a starting investment as low as $1,000.
While comparisons to Robinhood are often made, Titan sets itself apart by offering access to both individual stocks and professionally managed portfolios. Beyond just trading, Titan also provides valuable market insights in the form of reports, videos, and notifications, helping users make informed decisions. With millennials increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional financial institutions, Titan's platform has gained significant traction, now managing over $750M in assets.
