Engineering Manager

• We’re looking for an engineering manager to lead one of our product engineering teams
• This is a critical hire: you’ll help shape not just the team, but how we build at Cardless as we scale toward that goal
• Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team working at the intersection of payments, money movement, and financial infrastructure
• Own the technical health, execution, and culture of your team — from sprint planning to architectural direction
• Be a hands-on technical partner: go deep on system design and complex technical decisions when it matters, while also stepping back to implement frameworks and processes that help the team operate autonomously at scale
• Partner closely with the Head of Engineering on hiring strategy, technical roadmap, and organizational planning
• Work directly with external partners, compliance, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate complex requirements into reliable, high-quality systems
• Bring clarity to ambiguous situations — define the right problems, set technical standards, and build a team that can move fast without breaking things that matter
• Champion the thoughtful use of AI tooling across the team — from developer productivity to how we design and build systems — and help set the standard for how engineering at Cardless evolves alongside these tools
• You’ll join a collaborative, fast-moving team that values craftsmanship, curiosity, and impact
