About the Role
Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Engineering, the Engineering Manager – Payment Team leads the engineers responsible for Tereina's end-to-end payment flow. You will own the services that turn a customer's payment instruction into funds delivered reliably to the right beneficiary. You will expand Tereina's money flow by integrating with new banks, payment networks, and partners, and build the tooling that orchestrates and operates that flow. You will partner closely with Product, Architecture, Compliance, and Operations to translate requirements into a technical roadmap while growing a high-performing, distributed engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Own the design, development, and evolution of the Tereina payment flow — initiation, validation, routing, execution, status tracking, returns, and reconciliation — ensuring every payment is accurate, idempotent, auditable, and observable end to end.
- Lead integrations with banking partners, payment networks, and fintech partners that expand how and where our customers can move money — new rails, corridors, and currencies — from technical due diligence and sandbox certification through production go-live.
- Build efficient tooling to orchestrate and operate the payment flow, including workflow orchestration, routing and retry logic, exception handling, payment status visibility, and internal operations tooling.
- Own the architecture of our payment services and their contracts with the Platform, SAP Integrations, and UX teams. Set standards for reliability, security, data integrity, and compliance in a regulated environment.
- Contribute directly to engineering efforts alongside your team — reviewing code, designing integrations, and shipping production-quality code when it matters most. Model best practices and support your engineers on complex technical challenges.
- Lead, grow, and develop the Payment Team as it scales, including hiring and onboarding new engineers. Foster a culture of inclusion, trust, learning, and technical excellence, and support each engineer’s career growth.
- Own the production health of payment services — monitoring, alerting, on-call, incident response, and root-cause analysis — and continuously improve payment success rates, processing times, and straight-through processing.
- Build strong partnerships with Product, Platform, UX, SAP Engineering, Compliance, and our banking partners. Manage cross-team dependencies, align delivery with customer and partner go-live commitments, and ensure predictable execution sprint over sprint.
Requirements
- 7+ years in software engineering, including at least 3 years managing engineers in a technical leadership role.
- Deep understanding of commercial payments and money movement — payment lifecycles, clearing and settlement, returns and exceptions, and reconciliation — across rails such as ACH, wires, SWIFT, or real-time payments.
- Track record of building and operating integrations with banks, payment processors, or financial partners, including API- and file-based connectivity, message standards such as ISO 20022, and partner certification processes.
- Strong proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, and Kubernetes, with experience in microservices, event-driven architectures, and distributed systems design (idempotency, consistency, retries, and failure handling).
- Comfortable actively contributing to code and architecture while guiding the team on technical direction and trade-offs.
- Experience building in regulated financial environments, with a strong understanding of secure API design, data protection, auditability, and compliance requirements such as AML/sanctions screening and SOC 2.
- Strong proficiency with modern AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) and the ability to drive their effective adoption across your team.
- Experience mentoring engineers across levels and cultivating a supportive, growth-oriented, distributed team culture across time zones.
- Strong communicator able to convey technical concepts clearly and engage stakeholders across levels and functions, including external banking and partner teams.
