Engineering Manager - Billing & Payments (f/m/d)
In the Billing & Payments Tribe at Awin, we design the experiences that define how our customers pay—and how our partners get paid. As we scale, we’re creating a new engineering team and are looking for an Engineering Manager to shape it from the ground up. This role is ideal for an experienced people leader who thrives in complex domains, values strong feedback loops, and enjoys building autonomous, high-performing teams with real ownership and impact.
As an Engineering Manager, your primary focus is people, delivery, and impact. You will lead and grow a team of 5–6 engineers across Germany, Romania, and other engineering hubs. Your responsibilities include coaching and mentoring engineers, fostering strong feedback loops that support continuous learning and improvement, and creating a safe, empowering environment where decisions are delegated and ownership is clear. You will partner closely with Product Management to define team goals, priorities, and OKRs, own delivery commitments, and continuously improve team effectiveness and predictability. Collaboration with other tribes, platform teams, and enabling teams (Product, DevOps, UX, InfoSec, etc.) is also a key part of the role.
The ideal candidate has 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2 years in an Engineering Manager or similar leadership role. Experience building and scaling teams in distributed environments is essential, along with a strong coaching mindset and a passion for developing people. Confidence operating in a financial or payments domain (e.g., billing, invoicing, payment flows, compliance) is required. A solid technical foundation that allows you to understand and discuss architecture and system design, guide teams on testing, CI/CD, and engineering best practices, and consider long-term technical strategy, trade-offs, and system interactions is also important. A data-informed approach to decision-making, with a bias toward observability and learning, and a proactive mindset toward AI and emerging technologies are valued.
Awin offers a flexible four-day Flexi-Week at full pay with no reduction to your annual holiday allowance, along with various paid special leaves.
