Engineering Manager - Golang [PyMe Product Origination]

About the Role

Plata Card is hiring an Engineering Manager for our PyMe Product Origination team, focused on driving delivery, team growth, and execution quality.

The team owns the end-to-end lifecycle of credit product launches for legal entities — from the first product available to a verified business customer, through to the tools they use to manage their team and accounts. The scope spans both revenue-generating products and internal business banking features. 

This is a hands-on role. You'll split your time between leading people (coaching, planning, stakeholder communication) and staying close to the technical work — contributing to architecture decisions, code reviews, and implementation when it matters.

If you want to shape how Plata brings credit and banking products to market — leading a team at the heart of B2B product origination — this role is for you.

Challenges that await you:

• Drive product launches: lead end-to-end delivery of credit line, acquiring, and internal product features
• Develop your people: provide regular feedback, unblock growth paths, and mentor engineers 
• Strengthen processes: build and refine planning, decomposition, and delivery rituals that keep a mixed-discipline team moving fast without burning out
• Foster team health: maintain a sustainable, non-burnout culture through clear prioritization, transparent communication, and consistent support 
• Own technical quality: shape the architecture of backend services in Go, validate technical solutions, and stay close enough to the codebase to make informed decisions

What makes you a great fit:

• 1+ year managing engineering teams in fast-paced environments
• Proven skills in hiring, performance management, delivery ownership, and cross-functional collaboration
• 4+ years of Go development experience — enough to participate in architectural discussions and validate the team's technical decisions
• Experience building and improving development processes — planning, decomposition, retrospectives, and quality gates
• Navigating stakeholder relationships with confidence — articulating the team's position clearly and constructively, even when priorities conflict.

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 date to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances

Our benefits:

• Relocation support to one of our hubs — Cyprus, Serbia, Georgia, Spain— with assistance for the employee and their family
• Flexible work from one of our offices or remote
• Healthcare Coverage
• Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certifications
• Wellness Budget: Mental health and fitness activity reimbursement
• Vacation policy: 20 days of annual leave and paid sick leave
