The role
03The role This is a dual role. You manage a team of engineers and you set the technical direction for one of the most critical parts of our platform. You report to the Head of Engineering and work inside the OmniPayments tribe alongside the other tech leads. We are looking for a co-builder: someone who supports the tribe and the company in building new things the proper way, not someone who only manages a backlog.
01Technical leadership
02Own the architecture and technical roadmap of the payment modules, including all acquirer and scheme integrations.
03Lead new acquirer integrations end to end: analysis, design, implementation, certification, rollout and monitoring.
04Manage technical debt deliberately in a large, mature codebase built on an in-house framework on top of the Spring Framework.
05Drive platform evolution: we run Java 21 today and will move to Java 25, and we are shifting toward event-driven, fault-isolated services.
06Set and uphold engineering standards: design reviews, code quality, automated testing, observability.
07People leadership
08Lead, coach and grow a squad of engineers distributed across Switzerland, Lithuania and Ukraine.
09Run regular 1:1s, give honest feedback, build development plans and actively support career growth.
10Hire and onboard new engineers together with the Head of Engineering.
11Spread knowledge deliberately through documentation, pairing and rotation, so that no module depends on a single person.
12Delivery and production
13Own production quality for your modules: monitoring, alerting, incident response and root cause analysis.
14Treat availability, correctness and traceability as features.
15Provide validated estimates and technical analysis as input to our planning process (PI Planning and Definition of Ready).
16Balance new features against reliability and debt reduction, and make those trade-offs explicit to stakeholders.
17Collaboration and stakeholders
18Work closely with your Product Manager on discovery, shaping and prioritization.
19Partner with the Head of Engineering on tribe-level goals, capacity and escalations.
20Build together with the other tech leads in the tribe: shared standards, cross-squad initiatives, joint problem solving.
21Interface with the architecture team and DevOps on designs, infrastructure and operational topics.
22Support customer support with technical escalations and give sales fast, honest feasibility answers.
