Senior Engineering Manager – Payments (100% Remote within Poland)
Welcome to the good side of tech 👋
Docplanner at scale
And why should you join us?
The Role
What Success Looks Like in 6 Months
- Every engineer on your team has clear expectations, regular feedback and a growth plan, and you can point to who has levelled up and how.
- Performance issues are addressed early and fairly, and the team's bar is visibly higher than when you joined.
- Your team is delivering faster and at higher quality, and it shows in Payments outcomes such as TPV.
- You're making deliberate trade-offs between foundational work and fast experimentation, and you can explain the calls: what you invested in, what you deferred, and why.
- You're an active contributor who ships features consistently and shows what smart, AI-native coding looks like in production.
What You'll Do
- Own performance management for your team: set clear expectations, give direct and regular feedback, run reviews and calibrations, and deal with underperformance early.
- Level up your engineers: build individual growth plans, coach through pairing and code review, create stretch opportunities, and grow the next senior engineers and tech leads.
- Work hand in hand with the Product Manager and Design to decide where to invest: which foundations to build, which bets deserve a fast experiment, and when to pivot based on what users actually need.
- Stay hands-on: work directly in the team's codebase, implementing features and architectural changes, not just reviewing them.
- Keep the team's AI-native practices sharp as tools evolve, and keep quality high and operational burden low as delivery speeds up.
- Track and communicate impact with concrete metrics: delivery speed, quality, team engagement and product outcomes.
What We're Looking For
In a sentence: someone who can code the future while being passionate about delivering real impact to users and inspiring others to follow.
- 8+ years of software engineering experience.
- 4+ years leading engineering teams in product companies, including hiring, growth and performance management.
- A track record of growing people: you can point to engineers who levelled up under your leadership, and to difficult performance situations you handled well.
- Hands-on experience using AI to speed up how code is written, reviewed and refactored, with good judgment on when not to rely on it.
- A founder mindset: you move quickly from idea to experiment, validate with real users, and change direction without ego when the evidence says so.
- You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy being the first to try something new, figuring out what works and helping your team navigate the same path.
- Fluent English.
Nice to have
- Experience in payments or fintech (for example PSPs, reconciliation or compliance).
- Experience working at scale. That said, we care more about how you think, the impact you drive and your focus on meaningful user outcomes than the size of your previous company.
