Remote (within EU & UK)
ABOUT THE COMPANY
A fast-growing, VC-backed European fintech building B2B payment infrastructure — corporate cards, credit lines, and embedded finance tools — for companies with complex spend-management needs. The platform serves thousands of business customers and partner platforms across Europe, giving them API-first tooling and credit flexibility to run payments without friction. The team operates with a flat structure, ships fast, and is increasingly building its own AI-native tooling into day-to-day engineering work.
REQUIREMENTS
- 7–10 years in software or infrastructure engineering, including 3+ years managing engineers directly - Hands-on depth with Terraform, multi-account cloud environments, and container or serverless compute, run in production at scale - Experience running infrastructure as an internal platform other teams depend on daily, with the incident and change management discipline that requires - A track record of hiring and developing engineers, with concrete examples of people you've levelled or promoted - Solid observability experience at scale - Clear, confident communication with a technical, cross-team audience - Comfort with AI-assisted development tools, and the same rigor reviewing AI-generated code as any other
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the roadmap for the core infrastructure-as-code, multi-account cloud setup, and identity/networking foundations the rest of engineering builds on - Run the platform team like an internal product, not a cost center — making sure guardrails and tagging policies genuinely help other teams instead of slowing them down - Partner closely with the security function so access controls and compliance requirements are designed into the platform from day one - Steer an in-flight migration from container orchestration to Kubernetes through to completion - Manage and grow the team through 1:1s, hiring, and performance development - Coordinate with the reliability function and other platform teams as the org scales from one platform team into several
PERKS
- Choose your own equipment: Mac or Windows, whichever helps you do your best work - A flat, low-bureaucracy culture with direct access to leadership - Competitive compensation - Fully remote, flexible working setup - Room to shape a growing function and grow your own skills alongside it - A monthly credit on the company's own card product, plus team meals with colleagues
