Head of Core Banking Engineering

The bank that is closer to everyone – yes, that’s us!

We are building a new team for a new digital bank from scratch! The new engineering team will build, implement, and continuously improve a modern core banking platform.
You will own the roadmap, budget and hiring for the core banking platform: the ledger plus accounts, payment rails, product engine, reconciliation, reporting, cards, pricing and lending. You will build the unit from zero and set the engineering culture, the standards and the pace for a bank designed to scale.

Every day, you’ll be #closer and:

• Own the core platform roadmap and budget, and align priorities with Digital Channels, Customer Master Data and the shared teams.
• Lead hiring and growth of the unit: architects, engineering managers, product managers and engineers across backend, quality and reliability.
• Build and lead engineering managers who own delivery and on-call health for their teams.
• Partner with the Head of Product so that product managers own outcomes while engineering owns the platform.
• Make DORA resilience requirements part of delivery: operational readiness, testing and incident response from day one.
• Be the voice of the platform with senior stakeholders, shaping channel demand into a coherent, sustainable roadmap.
• Influence technology choices, including the tech stack.

To be #closer, you’ll need:

• Led engineering for a core banking, ledger or payments platform in production, across multiple teams.
• A track record of building teams quickly, including hiring and growing managers.
• Experience owning a technology budget and roadmap in a regulated financial institution.
• Enough technical depth to engage on architecture decisions at a detailed level.
• Strong stakeholder skills and the ability to build alignment at senior level.

Strong plus: experience leading a major core or platform programme, working with DORA or similar resilience regulation, and cards or lending platforms.

Being #closer means you’ll get:

• The green light for your ideas. Your suggestions will be heard — we value independence, curiosity, and initiative.
• A manager who helps you grow. You’ll get clear direction and support while having plenty of freedom to act, learn, and develop.
• An organisation that is changing. Joining Artea means more than just a new name — it means new ideas, perspectives, and opportunities to help shape our culture from within.
• Achievements rooted in Lithuania. We’re especially proud to be a Lithuanian bank. We believe our country and our people are unique, and we do everything we can every day to help them realise their potential.
• A personal benefits package. Health insurance, a pension savings programme, additional days off, flexible working hours, modern infrastructure — and that’s far from the complete list of benefits!
• Competitive compensation. Your salary will depend on your experience and competencies, so we’re providing an indicative range of EUR 9,000.00 – 11,000.00 gross per month.
• Performance bonuses. Our employees can earn bonuses based on the performance of the bank, their team, and their own individual performance.
