The posting

About us

GoCardless, a Mollie company, is a global leader in bank payments. Over 100,000 businesses, from start-ups to household names, use GoCardless to collect, manage and send bank payments through Direct Debit, real-time payments and open banking. With US$130bn+ processed annually across 30+ countries, we handle recurring and one-off payments without the chasing, stress, or expensive fees. Our end-to-end payment platform also features AI-powered solutions to improve payment success and reduce fraud, alongside connections to over 350 platforms businesses use everyday.

We are headquartered in the UK, with teams and operations spanning North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. For more information, please visit www.gocardless.com and follow us on LinkedIn @GoCardless.

Mollie is the leading payments and financial services partner for business, rooted in Europe, with global reach.

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

Base salary range: €70,400 - €105,600

Base salary ranges are based on role, job level, location, and market data. Please note that whilst we strive to offer competitive compensation, our approach is to pay between the minimum and the mid-point of the pay range until performance can be assessed in role. Offers will take into account level of experience, interview assessment, budgets and parity between you and fellow employees at GoCardless doing similar work.

(some of) The good stuff

  • Wellbeing - stay healthy with dedicated support and medical cover
  • Work away scheme - gives you the option to work away from your country of residence for up to 90 days in any 12 month period
  • Adaptive Working - allows you to work flexibly, around your lifestyle
  • Parental leave - to suit everyone embarking on life's great adventure
  • Learning Budget - lead your own development with an annual learning budget
  • Time off - generous holiday allowance, + 3 annual volunteer days, + 4 annual business-wide wellness days (‘GC Fridays’)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
