Jobbeschreibung

• We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a meaningful part of our engineering organisation. You will be leading one or more product engineering teams alongside the DevOps and infrastructure engineers, who own the foundations everything else is built on – our cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, architecture and observability. Across these teams, you’ll own their health, growth and delivery, and you’ll be accountable both for the products they ship and for the reliability, security and scalability of the systems beneath them
• We’re also at the start of a deliberate change in how we build, with a greater focus on AI enablement. We’re early in this, and we want a manager who’s excited to help lead it – rethinking how the team works, what good looks like, and where human judgement matters most when agents do more of the building
• What sits underneath all of this is consistency: working in financial services means the bar for security, reliability and correctness is high, and the people who build well here are the ones who take that seriously without losing pace
• Lead, support and grow your engineers across product and platform – running thoughtful 1-to-1s, setting clear expectations, and helping people develop toward the careers they want
• Own delivery across your teams. Where you lead product teams, partner closely with Product and Design to shape a realistic roadmap and create the conditions to ship it well; where you lead platform and infrastructure, set the priorities that keep the whole organisation moving
• Own the technical direction of our infrastructure and architecture – cloud, networking, data, deployment, and the patterns other teams build on
• Hold a high bar for engineering quality, and balance new platform work against the infrastructure and architectural debt that any scaling company accumulates
• Help lead our move toward agentic engineering — setting how the team uses AI coding tools well, building the workflows and guardrails for delegating work to agents, and keeping quality, security and review standards high as more of the implementation is automated
• Hire well, and partner with other engineering managers and senior engineers to raise the standard of how the whole organisation builds, runs and secures software

Benefits

• Attractive compensation: We benchmark our compensation against other Fintechs and aim to pay at the 75th percentile.
• Relax and Recharge: You start your career at Moonfare with 25 vacation days and earn one extra day per year of tenure. Additionally, we have company-wide days off on different occasions.
• Growth budgets: Each full-time employee receives a minimum of €1,500 growth budget/ year that can be used for seminars, coaching, certification or other things that fosters your growth.
• Free daily lunches: On top of snacks, fruits, cereals and drinks, we offer lunch in our Berlin office and generous lunch budgets in our other offices.
• Mental health support: Our mental health platform nilo.health gives all employees access to online counseling, daily meditations and mindfulness workshops.
• Other benefits: We also offer a variety of other benefits like company parties and events, a referral bonus of €2,000, spontaneous company-wide vacation and company merch.

A strong engineering background in infrastructure, platform or backend systems, with the depth to set architectural direction and be respected by senior engineersFamiliarity with modern web and cloud development. Our stack is built around TypeScript, Node.js and React on AWS – direct experience is welcome, but we care more about strong fundamentals and the ability to learnHands–on experience with modern AI coding tools – for example Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot or similar agentic assistants. You use them in your own work, have a considered view on where they help and where they don’t, and want to bring a team along with you as the way we build changesComfort with ambiguity and change. We’re scaling and evolving, and the role will tooDeep, hands–on experience with cloud infrastructure — AWS in particular — and modern infrastructure practice: infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform), containers and orchestration, CI/CD, and observabilityClear communication, and the judgement to know when to dig into detail and when to step back and trust your team. You’re able to collaborate confidently with both technical and non–technical stakeholdersA coaching instinct: you take satisfaction in other people’s growth and success, not only your own outputExperience managing software engineers — you’ve led at least one team, owned its delivery and growth, and you know how to develop people as well as systems. Experience leading more than one team, or a mix of product and platform engineers, is a strong plusIf you feel you do not meet all of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply!
