Head of Engineering
PayPlus is looking for an exceptional Head of Engineering to lead and scale our engineering organization and help build the technology behind the next generation of payments and commerce.

You will lead Engineering Managers, Team Leads and senior engineers across multiple domains and work closely with Product, Architecture, DevOps, Security and executive management.

What You’ll Own
• Lead the PayPlus engineering organization across multiple development teams
• Manage, mentor and develop Engineering Managers, Team Leads and senior technical leaders
• Own engineering execution, delivery and operational excellence
• Translate company and product strategy into clear engineering priorities, roadmaps and execution plans
• Build and evolve the engineering organizational structure as PayPlus continues to scale
• Establish clear ownership, accountability and measurable engineering goals
• Drive predictable execution of large, cross-functional and cross-team initiatives
• Partner with Architecture on major technical decisions and long-term platform strategy
• Ensure engineering standards across scalability, reliability, performance, security and maintainability
• Lead hiring, organizational growth and development of future engineering leaders
• Own engineering capacity planning and resource allocation
• Ensure effective collaboration between Engineering, Product, DevOps, Security, Support and business teams
• Drive technical and organizational postmortems after major production incidents
• Identify technical debt, architectural risks and organizational bottlenecks before they impact the business
• Engineering Execution & Jira Management
• A key part of this role is creating a disciplined, transparent and measurable engineering execution process.

Experience in security-sensitive or compliance-driven environments
Experience scaling engineering organizations during rapid growth
Experience with advanced Jira workflows, dashboards and engineering analytics
Leadership Profile
You are a leader who understands both people and technology.
You know how to build strong management layers instead of becoming the bottleneck yourself.
You don’t need to write production code every day, but you can sit with senior engineers and architects, understand a system design and challenge technical decisions when necessary.
You understand that engineering leadership is not just about meetings and status updates.
You know what is being built, who owns it, where it stands, what is blocking it and when it is expected to reach production.
You create accountability without micromanagement.
You bring structure without slowing the organization down.
You use data instead of assumptions.
And you understand that in a payments company, reliability, security, execution and engineering quality are all part of the product.
