[Hiring] Technology Lead @JobRack

Role Description

Help us bring modern technology to every part of how OnForm Finance works!

We're looking for a Technology Lead to shape how OnForm Finance uses technology across the business. This is our first dedicated technical hire. We already have a team of experts who know finance inside out, and thanks to modern AI tools and the rise of vibe coding, we can now build almost anything we can imagine. What we need is someone to think clearly about which things are worth building, and then drive them all the way through to adoption.

You'll have three connected missions:

• Apply technology across the business:
  • Look across our delivery, operations and client work.
  • Find the places where technology (AI, automation, integrations, internal tools) can remove friction, save hours and raise the quality of what we produce.
  • Build prototypes, turn the best ones into production, and put them in our team's hands.
• Drive real adoption:
  • Partner with Henry and team leads to roll out new tools, train the team, refine based on feedback, and make sure technology actually becomes part of how everyone works.
• Put proper controls and governance in place:
  • Define the procedures, implement the controls, and build a secure, well-governed foundation we can scale on.

In this role, you will:

• Design and build internal tools that reshape how our finance team delivers (AI-powered reporting, automated reconciliations, client-facing dashboards, operational workflows).
• Prototype fast using modern AI and low-code tools (Claude, Lovable, Gemini Workspace AI, Cursor, Airtable, Zapier, n8n), and turn the best prototypes into production.
• Stand up the data foundation: a central warehouse pulling from Xero, Shopify, Stripe and other sources our clients use.
• Establish security procedures and access controls around client financial data, covering access management, data handling and incident response.
• Implement data governance: classification, retention, segmentation and audit trails.
• Partner with Henry and team leads to map processes, find the highest-leverage places to insert technology, and make change stick.
• Train the team, build playbooks and raise the bar on how everyone uses technology day-to-day.
• Own the technology roadmap, including build-versus-buy decisions and vendor relationships.

Qualifications

• Proven experience shipping real software with AI tools as a core part of your workflow (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable and similar).
• Comfort building with modern low-code and no-code platforms (Airtable, Zapier, n8n, Make) and knowing when to graduate to real code.
• Strong hands-on experience with APIs and integrations, ideally including Xero, Shopify or payment processors.
• Solid data engineering foundation: you've built or maintained a data warehouse, written SQL against real business data, and can model financial data cleanly.
• Experience setting up security procedures, access controls and data governance in a business that handles sensitive data.
• Ability to translate messy business and financial requirements into technical solutions, and explain those solutions back to non-technical people.
• Strong change management and stakeholder skills: you know how to get tools adopted, not just shipped.
• A builder's instinct: you ship, you iterate, you don't disappear into planning for weeks.
• Proven experience with Xero API integration.

Requirements

• Previous experience building tools for accounting, finance or ecommerce operations.
• Hands-on work with Claude or Anthropic APIs, agentic workflows, or AI orchestration frameworks.
• Experience leading full tech stack audits or change programmes.
• Experience designing internal tools that non-technical teammates actually use and love.
• A portfolio of things you've shipped fast: side projects, prototypes, micro-SaaS.

Benefits

• £5k–£7/month depending on experience as a contractor.
• Full-time | Fully remote.
• 25 days leave plus UK bank holidays and your birthday off.
• Full remote working IT setup.
• Company offsites.
