As a Software Engineering Manager supporting Digital Payment Development, you will lead and grow a team of engineers delivering high-availability, secure, and maintainable payment and money-movement capabilities. You will manage engineering talent across product lines, build a culture of engineering craftsmanship, and drive technology modernization through sound architecture, clean coding practices, and disciplined SDLC execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a group of software engineers (and/or managers) across one or more Digital Payment product lines; ensure predictable delivery and operational excellence.
• Own execution of the SDLC end-to-end (requirements alignment, design, build, test, release, and support), balancing delivery speed with quality and risk controls.
• Establish and continuously improve engineering practices that raise code quality, reduce defects, and increase reliability (e.g., peer review, automated testing, CI/CD health).
• Lead solution architecture and design discussions for Java/Spring Boot services and integrations; ensure designs meet scalability, resiliency, and maintainability needs.
• Champion clean coding standards and SOLID principles; drive pragmatic patterns that enable team autonomy and long-term maintainability.
• Promote 12-factor development principles for service configuration, observability, and deployability; partner with platform/ops to ensure operational readiness.
• Ensure healthy CI/CD pipelines and effective git branching strategies; align team workflows to reduce merge risk and improve deployment confidence.
• Drive production readiness: monitoring, alerting, runbooks, and incident response improvements; ensure teams can troubleshoot effectively and safely.
• Model and reinforce adherence to access controls and environment governance; ensure practices respect production safeguards and entitlements.
• Own talent management: recruiting, mentoring, coaching, and enabling a culture of learning with a focus on engineering craftsmanship.
• Build and sustain high-performing teams through clear goals, effective delegation, accountability, and supportive development plans.
• Foster technological innovation and adoption of current trends and practices while maintaining disciplined risk management.

Required Technical Qualifications

• Java expertise, including modern language features and best practices for building maintainable enterprise services.
• Strong experience with Spring Boot (service development, RESTful APIs, dependency injection, security patterns, and testing practices).
• Solid database engineering knowledge across MySQL and Oracle (data modeling, performance tuning fundamentals, SQL fluency).
• Demonstrated mastery of SDLC disciplines and quality practices (design reviews, code reviews, automated testing, release readiness).
• Hands-on understanding of CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices; ability to guide teams on build/deploy reliability and repeatable delivery.
• Proficiency with git workflows and branching strategies; ability to set standards that support team scale and production safety.
• Proven ability to lead solution architecture and design decisions and communicate tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
