Engineering Manager - Platform Core
Startup
Full Time
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
