Engineering Manager for Finance & Payments

At Famly, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to manage our growing number of highly skilled engineers, and to help us build an even greater product. 

As EM for our Finance & Payments crew, you will help manage and build all finance and payments related features in our product. The domain is relatively complex, and since we deal with money, we are extra cautious of errors and faults. Experience with Stripe or other payments platforms, preferably for b2b payment, is an advantage but not a requirement. We expect a deep technical understanding, enabling you to assist with debugging, tech-scoping, and maybe some smaller feature development.

The position is preferably in Copenhagen, but if you have strong experience with working as a remote manager, we are open for remote positions as well.

And Famly are...? Well it all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. The paper ‘parent’ books they exchanged once a month just weren’t cutting it. Together with his friend, our co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.

These days, the 140 of us building Famly talk about trying to do two things for our 6,500+ customers:

• Giving children the best possible start to life.

• Championing the vital work that goes into making that happen.

We do it with software that brings hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child’s day while they’re away from them. We also make financial, pedagogical, and planning tools for more than 50,000 childcare professionals, saving them hours and reducing their admin stress.

Ultimately, that gives them more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter. Come help us make that happen.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing a crew (team) of approx. 7 engineers, some on-site and some fully remote

• Work closely with your crew's product manager to plan out and prioritise development work for the crew

• Assist with debugging, controlling and investigation of payments inquiries

• Participate scoping out work and initial early estimation for features

• Running efficient development processes, building great features but also creating time for handling tech-debt, fixing bugs, and maintaining our platform.

• Collaborate with departments outside of Engineering and be the anchor point to your crew

• Facilitate and plan technical onboarding of new engineers

• Actively participate in the hiring of new engineers, both on-location and remote working

• In collaboration with other EMs and our CTO, work on ensuring we have the best development processes

• Develop and motivate your team of engineers

• Depending on skills and wishes, participate partially in development, bug-triage or fixing.
