Engineering Manager - Developer Enablement

At Mollie, we’re on a mission to make payments and money management effortless for every business in Europe.

We started 20 years ago when we launched a more direct, affordable way for companies to get paid. That provided an alternative to the frustrating, overpriced solutions that banks offered at the time.

Today, we serve more than 250,000 businesses across Europe with an all-in-one solution that simplifies payments and money management. With a team of 850+ Mollies across the continent, we're not just a payment provider; we're a growth engine.

As an Engineering Manager in Developer Enablement, you are responsible for building a world‑class engineering team with a hacker’s mindset towards problem solving.
