Engineering Manager 

Job Description

REQUIREMENTS

• Meaningful engineering management experience. You have led teams through real delivery, not just been a strong tech lead. What matters is the quality of that experience, not the number of years
• A solid backend engineering foundation before moving into management, enough to earn credibility with the team and get into the detail when it matters
• Experience leading distributed, remote-first teams across time zones
• Experience working cross-functionally: partnering with product, aligning with senior leadership on delivery, and building trust with non-engineering stakeholders
• Fintech or banking domain experience: you understand what it means to run systems where correctness is not optional. Experience with payment schemes (direct debits, standing orders, or similar scheduled/recurring payment infrastructure) is a strong plus
• Strong grasp of reliability engineering: SLOs, observability, scheduled and event-driven systems, and what happens when things go wrong at the wrong time
  

Technical depth

• Technically fluent: you can read the code, follow the architecture, and engage with design decisions and production problems. You do not need to be shipping features regularly, but you need to understand what your team is building and why
• Backend engineering in a strongly-typed language (our stack is Java/Spring Boot; we want someone confident in a similar language and willing to engage with ours)
• Event-driven and async systems experience
• Relational database engineering at scale: transactions, consistency guarantees, and correctness at volume
• Experience with microservices in a cloud-native environment (we are AWS-heavy)
• Some exposure to agentic or AI-integrated systems is a plus

RESPONSIBILITES

• Leading a team of 7 engineers (backend and mobile) across Lithuania and Bulgaria
• Getting deep into the systems: mandate management, scheduling, sweep logic, internal transfer flows
• Setting engineering direction: reliability, correctness, observability, long-term architecture for systems that run on schedule with no human in the loop
• Owning system stability and operational reliability: SLOs, on-call practice, incident response
• Partnering with product to make sure what the team builds is right for members and compliant with scheme rules across all markets
• Growing engineers at every level. The team spans early-career through senior
• Aligning with other EMs across Banking on shared infrastructure and cross-cutting decisions
