As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a cross-functional team comprising engineers, a designer, and data scientists to develop intelligent products utilizing machine learning and AI technologies.
In this role, you will take ownership of existing payment intelligence products and collaborate with your team and product manager to determine future developments.

A strong inclination towards a culture of experimentation, testing, and learning is essential to drive product growth. Experience in supporting and developing engineers to reach their full potential is crucial, along with the ability to effectively communicate technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences. Collaboration skills are vital, as the role involves working closely with a Product Manager, Designer, and Data Scientists, as well as other commercial teams across the business. High agency and adaptability to a constantly changing environment are also important.
The base salary for this position ranges from €70,400 to €105,600 annually, depending on experience and qualifications. GoCardless offers a comprehensive benefits package, including dedicated support and medical cover for employee wellbeing, a work-away scheme allowing up to 90 days of remote work within a 12-month period, and adaptive working arrangements to suit various lifestyles.

Additional perks include a generous holiday allowance, three annual volunteer days, and four annual business-wide wellness days known as 'GC Fridays'.
GoCardless fosters a supportive and flexible work environment, enabling employees to balance professional responsibilities with personal commitments. The company is committed to diversity and inclusion, offering equal opportunities for all employees. Joining GoCardless provides the chance to be part of a dynamic team dedicated to revolutionizing the payments industry, with opportunities for career advancement and personal growth.
