About the Role
Engineering Managers at PPRO build collaborative teams that ship high-quality, scalable and resilient products. In Transaction Processing, you will own the payment gateway and APIs at the heart of PPRO, impacting every payment processed. You will act as a "mini-CTO" for the platform, setting direction, growing people, and shaping the future of payment processing at PPRO.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Product to translate ambiguous, multi-quarter goals into a technology strategy and roadmap for the gateway and API layer, managing milestones and cross-team dependencies.
- Enhance APIs to be the optimal integration method for PPRO, incorporating APIs from other domains and supporting new partners and payment types.
- Manage multiple critical initiatives simultaneously, owning risks and reprioritizing as needed based on business demands.
- Foster an architecture culture across the platform, promoting shared patterns, reusable libraries, and clear domain boundaries for availability, scale, and PCI compliance.
- Remain hands-on by reviewing designs and pull requests, pairing with engineers, and effectively utilizing AI tools.
- Lead, coach, and develop engineers and Staff-level technical leaders, hiring to support API scope growth and raising the hiring bar.
- Ensure operational excellence for the platform, including SLOs, error budgets, observability, testing standards, incident leadership, business continuity planning, and budget management.
- Collaborate across domains such as Billing, Reconciliation, Disputes, Merchant Boarding, and Technical Operations, mediating priorities between Engineering, Product, and Partnerships.
- Represent the platform to senior leadership and influence priorities beyond the immediate team.
- Cultivate a team environment where members feel safe to challenge, provide feedback, and learn from failures.
Requirements
- Experience leading engineering teams with broad platform scope, ideally with Staff Engineers or tech leads; managing multiple teams is a strong plus.
- Proven track record of delivering complex, multi-quarter technical programs with high uncertainty and numerous cross-team dependencies.
- Deep experience designing and operating high-availability distributed systems or public APIs at scale, utilizing Java and Spring Boot.
- Strong experience with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
- A strong operational mindset, including SLOs, observability, incident management, testing strategy, and cost awareness.
- Experience hiring, developing, and growing high-performing, diverse teams, with evidence of promoting individuals to higher levels.
- Ability to articulate technical trade-offs to engineers, product partners, and senior leaders, both in writing and verbally.
- Humble, inclusive leadership style with a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and a drive for continuous improvement.
- Desire to spend approximately 40% of time engaged with code and architecture.
- Hands-on experience using generative AI in engineering work, understanding its benefits and limitations.
- Working proficiency in English.
