Job Description
This hybrid engineering manager position is in Porto, within the Money Flows team. The manager leads engineers who build and run the platform behind Ebury's cross-border money services, which lets smaller and mid-sized companies send and receive funds internationally. The job is full time, with four office days and one remote day per week.
The manager is accountable for a particular technical domain and plans its direction for the coming six months. Alongside senior engineers, the manager keeps the architecture coherent over time, owns the stability, uptime and security of the systems, and ensures each service has adequate support arrangements, service-level targets, on-call schedules and documentation. Other duties include sprint planning, monitoring overall delivery health, managing capacity, limiting unplanned work that disrupts the team, and taking charge of incident handling.
The manager is the main bridge between Engineering and Product, reports progress and risks to stakeholders, and manages modest tooling budgets. People leadership is central: coaching engineers at different levels, conducting performance reviews, shaping career paths, recruiting and keeping strong talent, and fostering ownership and candid feedback. Experience leading engineers and a working grasp of agile practice are needed, and a background in the payments sector is strongly preferred.
