Engineering Manager

About the team

At SumUp, we're on a mission to bring merchants and consumers closer together and help local communities thrive. With SumUp Pay, we're building a rewarding banking experience that connects people to the small businesses they love while enabling free transactions for our merchants.

SumUp Pay helps consumers manage their money with ease and get more from everyday spending. It offers seamless payment experiences and financial tools designed for modern life—spanning banking, cards, savings, and open banking.

You'll be responsible for the reliability, quality, and pace of delivery across features that consumers interact with every day—while growing a team that takes real ownership of what they ship.

You'll work closely with Product and Design to turn ambitious ideas into production-grade products, and you'll help shape the technical direction of a consumer experience that's still defining itself. This is a role for someone who stays close enough to the technology to make good calls, and cares enough about people to make the team genuinely good at what they do.
