Build the Future of Global Payments
At Brightwell, we’re using technology to make global money movement faster, safer, and more accessible. Our platform simplifies cross-border payments—whether through bank transfers, mobile wallets, or cash pickup—by navigating complex regulatory environments with elegant, secure solutions. We’re on a mission to make remittances seamless for businesses and individuals around the world, and we’re looking for bold thinkers to help us get there.

The Role: Lead, Code, and Inspire
We’re looking for a Mobile Engineering Manager to lead the evolution of an emerging remittance product. This is a hybrid role combining leadership and hands-on coding. You’ll spend about 50% of your time writing and reviewing Swift and Kotlin, and the rest coaching your team, shaping processes, and steering delivery.

You’ll guide a tight-knit team of mobile engineers and work cross-functionally with teams across Brightwell to bring real innovation to life. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and wants to make a measurable impact on the lives of people sending and receiving money globally.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including hands-on development and architectural decisions.
• 2+ years in a management or technical leadership role with distributed teams.

• A proven track record of delivering complex products and elevating team performance.
• Experience with mobile SDKs and performance monitoring in production environments is a plus.
