A key role I'm personally hiring at the moment:
Senior Engineering Manager, Payments & Billing
This is a strategic and deeply technical role: you’d own the architecture and execution of our global payments and billing platform, serving over 2 million subscribers across 40+ countries. We’re looking for a leader who thrives in complex systems and stays deeply technical – someone who partners closely with their team and contributes meaningfully to technical decisions.
This team owns our full monetization platform, including subscription lifecycle management, payment orchestration, fraud prevention, compliance, and observability. It’s a high-leverage role with direct impact on revenue, customer experience, and global scale.
