Engineering Manager

At SumUp, we are motivated by the purpose of levelling the playing field for small businesses. We empower small business owners by creating simple and affordable tools to manage payments, finance and customer relationships.

This is a high-impact engineering leadership role within our Lifecycle Tribe, with a primary mandate to build and evolve a world-class, high-performing website that is central to how merchants discover, evaluate, and start using SumUp - from first touch through activation and beyond.

You’ll lead cross-functional teams working on customer-facing platforms and digital experiences that sit at the core of how merchants discover, explore, and engage with SumUp. The work spans modern web architectures, scalability challenges, and data-informed decision-making to continuously improve quality and performance. This role requires hands-on experience building and operating large-scale, consumer-grade websites - where performance, accessibility, and iteration speed are first-order concerns.

We’re looking for a hands-on, technically credible leader who can drive delivery excellence, foster high engineering standards, and strengthen SumUp’s ability to move fast while maintaining quality and reliability across our web and platform ecosystems.

What you’ll do

Lead and Develop Teams: Lead, mentor, and grow high-performing engineering squads and a shared Quality team, focused on delivering exceptional web and customer-facing experiences. You’ll create a culture of trust, accountability, and continuous improvement where people can do their best work.

Drive Platform Evolution: Oversee ongoing modernization and transformation initiatives that enhance SumUp’s web and digital capabilities, supporting flexibility, performance, and scalability.

Elevate Technical Excellence: Define and drive the technical direction for our web and purchase architectures, ensuring high standards for quality, observability, reliability, and maintainability.
