About the Team

Omise Engineering teams have a strong focus on innovation and staying at the forefront of technological advancements. This involves a commitment to continuous learning and experimentation with new tools and methodologies. We foster a collaborative environment where team members can openly communicate and share ideas.

Omise engineering follows agile methodologies i.e. iterative development process, frequent feedback, and adaptability to changes, allowing teams to respond quickly to evolving requirements. We promote a sense of ownership and accountability and a healthy work-life balance. Recognizing that well-rested and satisfied employees are more productive and creative.

Why we need you

Omise is under-going a period of sustained growth and we will need to bring on top-class engineering leaders to help our teams grow and succeed. We are determined to create the best environment possible to work in, for both engineers and the customers our products assist.

As such, we are on the lookout for an A-player Associate Engineering Manager who promotes a bottom-up, ownership culture, and team collaboration, as well as having a very strong engineering background. Some companies decide to make a distinction between "technical" leaders with some experience in "people" management and those with a primary focus on people management. We're looking for someone who can bridge the gap between hands-on technical contribution and effective people management, helping us scale our operations and deliver world-class payment experiences.

What you will be doing

• Leading and Mentoring: Guide and support a team of talented engineers, fostering their professional growth and ensuring a collaborative and productive environment. This includes one-on-ones, performance feedback, and career development discussions.
• Technical Leadership: Continue to contribute technically as a lead engineer, providing architectural guidance, code reviews, and hands-on support for complex problems. You'll ensure the team adheres to best practices in software development, scalability, and security.
• Project Delivery: Work closely with technical product managers and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical specifications, plan sprints, and ensure timely and high-quality delivery of payment features and enhancements.
• Incident Support: Lead on-call rotations, providing support to resolve critical issues and ensure minimal disruption to service and system reliability.
• Process Improvement: Identify and implement improvements to our development processes, tools, and methodologies to enhance security, efficiency and developer experience.
• Technical Hiring: Enhance team capabilities and innovation potential by leading the recruitment of top-tier engineering talent.

You

• 7+ years of experience in software development, with at least 2+ years in a lead engineer or technical lead role within a payment gateway, fintech, or high-transactional e-commerce environment.
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Go, Java, Python, Node.js) and experience with API implementation, microservices and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, lead technical discussions, and influence team decisions.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a pragmatic approach to technical challenges.
• Strong English verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A strong ambition to grow into a full engineering management or people management role.
• Willingness to learn new programming languages and technologies
  

Nice to Have

• Experience in Ruby programming and Ruby on Rails
• Understanding of payment gateway architectures, payment processing flows, and related technologies (e.g., APIs, microservices, security protocols, fraud detection).
• Familiarity with compliance standards (e.g., PCI DSS).
• Experience with agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban).
