Senior Engineering Manager - Fintech Engineering (m/f/n)

InPost Pay is building its own fintech platform from the ground up. It’s a large-scale, international initiative where engineers will have the opportunity to shape the architecture, build core fintech components, and create solutions designed to operate at InPost’s scale.

We’re building a lean, highly effective engineering organization in Poland, with AI-native engineering at its core. We’re looking for strong engineers who are comfortable with agentic engineering, from experienced professionals building complex systems and engineering tooling to a new generation of engineers who have embraced AI-driven development from the start of their careers.

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who will take ownership of a growing engineering organization within the Pay domain. This is an opportunity for a leader who can scale teams, develop engineering leaders, drive technical excellence, and remain a credible partner in architectural and technology discussions.

What will you be responsible for?

• Defining and owning the multi-quarter engineering strategy for your platform area: architecture evolution, team topology, capability building, and technical risk management.
• Leading 2–3 Engineering Managers across a total area of 8–20 engineers: developing them as leaders, holding delivery and quality accountability, and building alignment and collaboration between their teams.
• Combining product direction, architectural input from Staff Engineers, and operational insights from Engineering Managers into a coherent, executable area strategy.
• Defining organizational structure across the area: team boundaries, headcount planning, hiring strategy, and role definitions aligned to product and technical goals.
• Serving as the executive engineering voice for your area, representing engineering to VP and C-level leadership with technical credibility and commercial framing.
• Driving an AI-first engineering culture across the area: harness adoption, agentic operations, and data emission discipline enforced consistently through your Engineering Managers.
• Partnering with Product, Business, and Engineering stakeholders to align strategy and drive outcomes.
• Managing cross-team dependencies and ensuring high-quality delivery at scale.

Must have:

• 10+ years of experience in backend software engineering and technology leadership, including 2+ years managing Engineering Managers within a multi-team organization.
• University degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Experience operating in large-scale product organizations.
• Strong organizational design experience - team topology, headcount planning, and scaling without adding coordination overhead (2+ years).
• Proven ability to build and execute multi-quarter, area-level strategic roadmaps that synthesize product, architecture, and operational inputs.
• Strong cross-functional leadership with product, design, data, compliance, and finance stakeholders.
• Excellent executive communication skills, written and verbal, for VP and C-suite audiences.
• Technical credibility sufficient to engage in architecture reviews and risk assessments alongside Staff Engineers.
• Experience driving AI-first and agentic engineering practices, including harness adoption and data emission discipline.
• Solid command of delivery metrics at the area level: DORA, OKRs, team health, and business outcome tracking.
• English proficiency at a minimum B2 level; Polish language skills are a plus

Nice to have:

• Experience in FinTech or another regulated product domain at a leadership level (3+ years).
• Multi-market or multi-country engineering leadership experience (1+ years).
• Familiarity with the FinTech regulatory landscape (PSD2, GDPR, credit regulation) at a strategic level.
• Experience with board- or investor-level engineering reporting.
• M&A or technical integration experience.
• Experience managing multi-market regulatory complexity.
