Engineering Manager - AI Payments App

About the role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing engineering team building and scaling products used by millions of users across the region. This role is for a strong technical leader who can lead engineers, make sound architecture and engineering decisions, and drive products and systems from idea to production. You will be responsible for both the quality of the engineering team and the quality and speed of what the team ships.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a team of engineers across frontend, backend and full stack development.
• Own engineering delivery for major product areas, ensuring the team ships quickly without compromising reliability and technical quality.
• Work closely with product, design, mobile, backend and AI teams to turn ambiguous product problems into clear technical execution.
• Drive technical architecture and engineering decisions across APIs, databases, integrations, infrastructure and customer-facing systems.
• Set engineering standards around code quality, system design, testing, observability, security and production reliability.
• Develop engineers through regular feedback, coaching, performance management and clear expectations.
• Improve engineering processes, tooling and automation to help the team move faster and operate at scale.
• Own production outcomes beyond release: monitor systems, resolve incidents, identify root causes and ensure problems do not repeat.
