Sumup

About the team: At SumUp, we're on a mission to bring merchants and consumers closer together and help local communities thrive. With SumUp Consumer, we're building a rewarding banking experience that connects people to the small businesses they love while enabling free transactions for our merchants. SumUp Consumer helps consumers manage their money with ease and get more from everyday spending. It offers seamless payment experiences and financial tools designed for modern life—spanning banking, cards, savings, and open banking. This is a high-impact Engineering Manager role where you'll lead a cross-functional team of backend, iOS, and Android engineers building the systems and experiences that power SumUp Consumer. You'll be responsible for the reliability, quality, and pace of delivery across features that consumers interact with every day—while growing a team that takes real ownership of what they ship. You'll work closely with Product and Design to turn ambitious ideas into production-grade products, and you'll help shape the technical direction of a consumer experience that's still defining itself. This is a role for someone who stays close enough to the technology to make good calls, and cares enough about people to make the team genuinely good at what they do.   What you’ll do: * Lead and build a high-performing team by coaching, mentoring, and supporting engineers in their growth and development. * Stay hands-on with technology—contributing to system design, reviewing code, and guiding technical decisions to ensure high-quality, scalable solutions. * Partner closely with Product and Design to define goals, translate user needs into technical solutions, and deliver impactful features. * Drive execution and delivery, balancing speed and quality while ensuring reliable and scalable backend systems. * Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and business teams to align priorities and make thoughtful trade-offs. * Shape the engineering culture by promoting best practices, ownership, and continuous improvement. * Advocate for the user, ensuring we build products that truly improve the experience for local merchants and consumers.   You’ll be great for this role if you have: * A strong backend or mobile engineering background, with hands-on experience building distributed systems, APIs, and scalable services. * Proven experience as an Engineering Manager (2+ years), with a track record of leading, mentoring, and growing high-performing engineering teams. * A hands-on mindset—you enjoy staying close to the code, contributing to technical decisions, and tackling complex challenges, not just managing from a distance. * Experience with modern technologies such as Go, Kotlin, Python, or similar, along with cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS, Docker, Kubernetes) or relevant mobile engineering tools. * A product-oriented approach, with the ability to make pragmatic decisions and thoughtful trade-offs in a fast-paced environment. * Strong communication skills, with the ability to bring clarity, alignment, and influence across both technical and non-technical stakeholders. * An empathetic leadership style, with a focus on team well-being, continuous feedback, and professional growth. * Adaptable and action-oriented, comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities with confidence.   Why you should join SumUp: * Opportunity to work with a truly global, multicultural team from our central London Bridge location, wrapped in historic charm and modern flair. This involves an office-first setup * Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion: be part of a workplace that values and promotes diversity, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone's perspectives are respected and embraced * Enrolment onto our VSOP program: you will own a stake in SumUp’s future success * Generous time off: enjoy 28 days of paid leave, plus bank holidays and special leaves * Health matters: Vitality health cover, including optical and dental * Life made easier: salary-sacrifice commuter benefits via Gogeta * Financial security: retirement scheme (SumUp matches 7% when you contribute 5%) * Peace of mind: life insurance from MetLife for 2× your salary * Break4me: 1-month sabbatical after 3 years of service * Referral Bonus: earn additional rewards by referring talented individuals to join the SumUp team   About us: Be empowered to do more that matters.

Omnea

OUR MISSION At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved. We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for. Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels.
