Engineering Manager

Checkout.com is one of the most exciting fintechs in the world. Our mission is to enable businesses and their communities to thrive in the digital economy. We are the strategic payments partner for some of the best-known fast-moving brands globally such as Wise, The Hut Group, Sony Electronics, Sainsbury's, Deliveroo, Adidas, Klarna and many others. Purpose-built with performance and scalability in mind, our flexible cloud-based payments platform helps global enterprises launch new products and create experiences customers love.

Checkout.com seeks an Engineering Manager to join its Merchant Services pillar. This pillar, the largest engineering and product team at Checkout.com, is responsible for the complete customer journey, ensuring a seamless experience for merchants and customers throughout a payment's lifecycle.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to focus on one of two key areas:

• Constructing world-class APIs: You will lead the development of robust APIs for payment processing, orchestration, and outcome determination at CKO.
• Shaping the Customer Experience: You will enhance the user experience for payees by reducing friction in their checkout flow and deliver full-stack solutions that simplify integration, configuration, and compliance for our merchants across the Flow product suite.

Leadership mentality is crucial. You will drive an entire product component and mentor a brilliant team of engineers. We are ideally looking for someone who is dedicated, upbeat, and truly believes in crafting clean, testable code.

How you will make an impact:

• Manage and support our multidisciplinary team of engineers working on proprietary algorithms and help them advance in their careers.
• Support the design, development, and delivery of new product features across our multi-stack ecosystem.
• Take ownership of the architecture, solutions, and the delivery of projects.
• Uphold high standards for our uptime and latency requirements while not sacrificing the veracity of API responses.
• Participate in maintaining the team's cohesion and healthiness.
• Handle our incident response and post-incident investigation processes; participate in on-call rotations.
• Make critical choices in planning for the long-term vision of our infrastructure and its quality while not overengineering.
• Maintain high-quality standards for code, infrastructure, and documentation.
• Support the creation and maintenance of user documentation.

Qualifications:

• Passionate about leading technical teams, being a leader as well as a manager.
• Experience leading a multidisciplinary technical engineering team on technically and conceptually exciting problems.
• Proven experience in recruiting or building and developing a team.
• Experience in crafting and leading scalable, high-efficiency, or highly available systems.
• Solid understanding of SDLC principles and Architectural and Design patterns for Backend and/or Frontend components.
• Experience with Continuous Integration and Deployment using DevOps principles.
• Experience with cloud-based application development (we use AWS).
• Enjoy learning new skills and using the best tools for the job.
• Experience with consumer-facing products and domains would be a bonus but is not a must.

If you are passionate about technology, innovation, and making a real impact in the world of digital payments, we want to hear from you. Join our engineering department at Checkout.com and be part of a team that is shaping the future of payments for generations to come.

Hybrid Working Model: All of our offices globally are onsite 3 times per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday).

If you do not meet all the requirements but think you might still be right for the role, please apply anyway. We are always keen to speak to people who connect with our mission and values.

We believe in equal opportunities. We work as one team. Wherever you come from. However you identify. And whichever payment method you use. Our clients come from all over the world - and so do we.
