    Job description

    Our Vision & Mission

    AI is rewriting how enterprises run. Payflows is the platform making it happen.

    The world’s largest companies are held back by complexity — disconnected systems, slow approvals, and manual workflows across Finance, Procurement, and Operations.

    Payflows is building the AI-native Finance OS for enterprise — connecting every process, person, and system so work just flows. Approvals route automatically, payments execute intelligently, and leaders gain real-time visibility into how, when, and why money moves.

    In a world where speed, control, and intelligence define competitive advantage, Payflows enables global enterprises to operate with precision — powered by AI.

    One intelligent platform, endless possibilities.

    The Role: Engineering Manager

    You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how Payflows builds — from system architecture to team culture.

    You’ll lead a group of talented engineers to deliver world-class products that power finance teams across the globe.

    This is not a management-only role. It’s a builder’s leadership role — where you lead through clarity, mentorship, and technical excellence.

    Your Mission

    Shape the Roadmap

    • Translate product vision and business priorities into clear engineering goals.

    • Prioritise effectively and align the team around high-impact initiatives.

    Lead by Example

    • Stay technically hands-on where it matters — reviewing critical PRs, guiding architecture discussions, and unblocking complex challenges.

    • Set the technical direction and raise the standard for excellence.

    Coach and Develop Talent

    • Mentor engineers through feedback, goal-setting, and structured growth paths.

    • Build a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous learning.

    Drive Delivery

    • Partner with Product to plan sprints, scope features, and manage trade-offs between speed and quality.

    • Ensure predictable, high-quality delivery across all projects.

    Balance Innovation and Stability

    • Champion clean, scalable architecture while driving down tech debt.

    • Build strong foundations that enable fast, sustainable growth.

    Elevate Engineering Culture

    • Push for smarter tools, better processes, and sharper execution.

    • Foster cross-functional collaboration that accelerates innovation.

    Job requirements

    Who you are

    • You have 2+ years of engineering management experience, with a proven track record of building and leading high-performing teams.

    • You have a strong technical foundation — capable of guiding deep architectural discussions and making sound trade-offs.

    • You’re product-driven — you think about impact, user outcomes, and business value before lines of code.

    • You’re an excellent communicator who brings clarity and alignment across teams.

    • You thrive in fast-paced, high-intensity environments where ownership is everything.

    Your Skills

    • 3+ years of hands-on experience coding in Python or another OOP language.

    • Deep understanding of backend architecture, microservices, REST APIs, and performance optimisation.

    • Strong experience with PostgreSQL, data modelling, and query optimisation.

    • Confident using Git and CI/CD pipelines in modern development workflows.

    • Familiarity with serverless infrastructure (AWS), event-driven systems, and containerisation is a plus.

    • Experience in B2B SaaS, ERP, or BaaS integrations is highly desirable.

    Our Stack

    • Backend: Python / Flask / SQLAlchemy

    • Frontend: TypeScript / Vue3 / Amplify

    • Data: PostgreSQL / DynamoDB / S3

    • Infrastructure: AWS / Serverless / Docker / Airflow / Databricks

    • Tooling: Git / GitLab / Sentry

    Our Non-Negotiables

    Resilience — We’re on a multi-decade mission to reinvent enterprise finance. You embrace hard problems and thrive in the fight.
    Hunger — You push yourself (and the company) to raise the bar and maximise impact.
    Trustworthiness — You take ownership, solve problems, and get it done with integrity and consistency.

    This isn’t a maintenance role.
    It’s a chance to build systems that power the future of enterprise finance.

    If you’re obsessed with engineering excellence, driven by impact, and ready to lead with precision — welcome to Payflows.
