The role

Payment Success helps merchants get paid and keep their cash flow reliable. We predict which payments are likely to fail, recover the money when they do, and protect merchant cash flow across our payment rails.

As Engineering Manager, you will lead a cross-functional team of engineers, a designer and data scientists, building intelligent products that use machine learning and AI.

You will take ownership of the payment intelligence products we have already built, and work with your team and product manager to decide what we build next. We give teams problems to solve rather than tasks to complete, so you and your team will own what gets built, how it gets built and how success is measured.

You will be accountable for the quality, delivery and operation of everything the team ships, and you will look after your people through 1:1s, feedback and career development. You'll step in wherever the team needs you, and earn credibility with senior engineers and data scientists within the team and across product development.

What excites you

• Shipping stuff: you’ll work with your team to support changes to completion, delivering consistent positive impact across your product area. Being comfortable delivering a range of projects: from MVP experiments testing a hypothesis to a new feature
• Developing talent: You hire and grow engineers into being the best engineers they can be, while maintaining a supportive and engaging team culture
• Raising the technical bar: You insist on high standards of technical design and implementation and ensure your systems are operationally excellent
• Deliver project work while managing the expectations of your stakeholders
• Plan and prioritise impactful technical investment initiatives for your teams
• Be a reflection of the GC Values that help us work with one another effectively

What excites us

• Professional experienced in coding - with Python and Ruby on Rails for backend and JavaScript/React on frontend, and a commitment to building reliable, well-tested systems
• Enthusiastic about working in a strong culture of experimentation, testing and learning - to help us in experimenting ways to grow our product!
• Someone excited about supporting and growing a group of engineers, helping them become the best engineers they can be
• Somebody able to effectively communicate - mainly technical topics to technical and non-technical audiences
• Collaboration and cross-functional work - we have a Product Manager, Designer and Data Scientists as part of our team and work with a lot of other commercial teams across the business
• High agency: We’re after people who aren’t afraid of a challenge and will take ownership of problems they come across, help to resolve them and adapt to a constantly changing environment
