Job description

At Vipps MobilePay, we remove hassle, create dazzle, and make it very, very easy for people and businesses to pay and get paid. As the most-loved brands in Norway and Denmark (and climbing fast in Finland!), we power everyday commerce for over 11 million users and 400,000 merchants across the Nordics.

In the Merchant domain, our mission is to build seamless, world-class mobile experiences that empower businesses to connect effortlessly with their customers. We’re now looking for an empathetic, structured, and strategic Engineering Manager to nurture, lead, and champion our growing team of 12-14 iOS and Android engineers.

If you get a kick out of coaching great people, optimizing delivery, and building a high-trust engineering culture, we’d love to have you on the team!

The opportunity

In this role, you won’t be writing code daily. Instead, your code is our organization.

You will focus on our people, culture, and ways of working. Teaming up with Product Managers and Tech Leads, you’ll ensure our mobile engineers are aligned, motivated, and empowered with everything they need to build payment solutions that just work.

What you’ll do

• Grow & coach our people: Act as a mentor and manager for 12-14 iOS and Android engineers across cross-functional teams, helping everyone learn, level up, and unlock their full potential.
• Build the community: Foster an open and inclusive learning culture across our mobile engineering communities, where people feel safe to experiment and share knowledge.
• Make things happen: Turn bold product visions into smooth execution by allocating resources, removing bottlenecks, and clearing organizational hurdles.
• Collaborate: Build strong collaboration with Tech Leads, Product Managers, and fellow EMs to help teams deliver well together.

Who you are

To thrive in this role, we think you have to be:

• An empathetic leader: You believe in leadership built on trust, curiosity, and psychological safety. Nothing makes you happier than seeing your team succeed and grow.
• Mobile savvy: You have solid roots in the mobile development ecosystem and understand app store lifecycles, release rhythms, and platform quirks.
• Pragmatic & structured: You have a talent for cutting through ambiguity, creating clarity, and guiding your colleagues calmly through change.
• Product-minded: You understand how high-performing, cross-functional product teams operate and thrive.

What we value & why join us

We believe people do their absolute best work when they feel supported, challenged, and trusted. With us, you’ll have a direct hand in shaping how we work, how we grow, and how we deliver real impact across the Nordics and beyond.

Above all, our core values guide everything we do:

• Keep it simple: We build simple, elegant solutions to complicated problems.
• No worries: A safe, worry-free environment where we dare to test, learn big, and fail fast.
• One team: Co-creation, mutual trust, and winning together.

About the company

We make payments very, very simple. Safe, seamless, and done in a flash - just the way it should be.

We’re a Nordic mobile wallet built from two strong foundations: Vipps in Norway and MobilePay in Denmark. Both started with the same idea to make sending money as easy as sending a text. Today, we’ve come together as one of the largest mobile wallets in Europe, making everyday payments easier for millions of people.

We also make it easy for our merchants and partners to dream big, no matter the size of their business.

To keep building the best products for everyone, we believe everyone should be part of creating them. Simple as that. That’s why we welcome people of all backgrounds, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, ethnicities, religions, abilities, and ages.

If this sounds like a place where you’d feel at home, we’d love to hear from you.
