• Architecture evolves towards a decoupled, microservice-based architecture, positioning it to scale efficiently in a multi-tenant, cloud-native environment. This effort is central to Feedzai’s long-term vision and product evolution

Your Day to Day:

• Manage one or two teams of engineers from daily execution to performance and career management
• Lead by example, care for your team, and establish credibility with the quality of your and your team’s technical execution.
• Provide technical leadership to the team from driving architecture and design up to doing code reviews
• Be responsible for the planning, execution, and success of technical projects
• Work with key stakeholders across all groups within the Engineering and Product Teams
• Develop and empower top-class engineering and technology practices in the teams
• Closely work with the recruiting team to find and interview engineers

You Have & You Know-how:

• 5+ years of software development
• 5+ in a platform or dev-ops/SRE team in a SaaS environment and supporting mission-critical services

Valued:

• Experience in fast-paced environments with evolving requirements.
• Strong skills in leadership, adaptability, and problem-solving.
• Ability to manage stakeholder expectations and push back when necessary.
• Solution-oriented mindset—when challenges arise, you roll up your sleeves to get things done.
• A team player who empowers engineers to reach the next level.
