Engineering Manager - Golang [PyMe Origination Core]

About the Role

Plata Card is hiring an Engineering Manager for our high-impact PyMe team, focusing on our B2B products.

PyME Origination Core owns the end-to-end customer attraction and onboarding path for the B2B segment — from the first lead captured by a partner or a field sales agent, through onboarding for individual entrepreneurs and legal entities, to the first invited additional user on a business account.

The team is responsible for converting demand into verified, transacting customers across both organic and indirect channels.

Onboarding domain — PFAE and PM onboarding flows, including X-sell paths into additional banking products, plus the invitation flow for adding extra users to an existing business account. This is the established, high-criticality core of the team: regulated entry point with stable scope but high inherent complexity (KYC orchestration, identity verification, compliance decisioning).

This role is primarily about leading and growing people rather than writing code: around 70% of your time goes to management (coaching, planning, feedback, stakeholder communication) and about 30% to hands-on technical work. In practice, that means you act as a manager and mentor for the team – developing engineers, shaping processes, and ensuring delivery quality, while still staying close enough to the codebase to make informed technical decisions and occasionally contribute to implementation.

Challenges that await you

• Lead the team: manage delivery, prioritize new features demanded by product teams, while contributing to development as needed
• Develop talents: provide feedback, enable growth for colleagues, support the team, and mentor
• Strengthen the team: reinforce for scaling, ensure smooth rotations with mobile squads, and foster a healthy, non-burnout culture
• Overseeing team performance, ensuring on-time project delivery aligned with business goals
• Solving complex challenges and ensuring high-quality solutions
• Shaping the architecture, design, and implementation of backend services in Golang

What makes you a great fit

• 1+ years of experience managing small engineering teams (5-8 people) in fast-paced settings, preferably fintech with Go stack
• Hiring, development, performance, and delivery management and strong skills in cross-functional collaboration and the ability to build partnerships
• A strong technical background and development experience, enabling you to participate in architectural discussions and validate the team's technical solutions
• 4+ years of experience as a Go developer
• Experience in building and optimizing development processes (planning, decomposition, retrospectives)
• Diplomacy and the ability to advocate for your position and the team's interests with well-reasoned arguments

Our ways of working

• Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions
• Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication
• Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community
• Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together
• High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who dare to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances

Our benefits

• Flexible work from one of our offices or remote
• Healthcare Coverage
• Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certification
