• Coach and mentor a skilled team of engineers, fostering their career growth and a deep sense of ownership. You will lead by setting clear context, creating a culture of collaboration, and ensuring the team operates effectively and with high morale.
• Take ownership of the team's delivery, focusing on long-term platform scalability, resilience, and maintainability. You will balance product delivery with technical investment and ensure your team is equipped to operate a reliable, high-volume payments platform.

• You are a strong partner to Product Managers, with experience shaping a roadmap and turning business priorities into scalable technical solutions.
• You are passionate about coaching engineers through mentorship, regular feedback, and long-term career development.
• You thrive in cross-functional settings and can comfortably coordinate with stakeholders on demanding initiatives, such as large merchant go-lives.
• Experience in the payments domain is a plus, but not required.
