Jobs at Delivery Hero (Now Hiring) — 454 open — Page 8

As the world’s pioneering local delivery platform, our mission is to deliver an amazing experience, fast, easy, and to your door. We operate in around 65 countries worldwide powered by tech, designed by people. As one of Europe’s largest tech platforms, headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Delivery Hero has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2017 and is part of the MDAX stock market index. We enable creative minds to deliver solutions that create impact within our ecosystem. We move fast, take action and adapt. No matter where you're from or what you believe in, we build, we deliver, we lead. We are Delivery Hero.

We are on the lookout for an Engineering Manager to lead one of our Payments engineering teams — a group of 6–10 backend engineers building the payments infrastructure that powers Delivery Hero across 70+ countries. This role sits at the intersection of people leadership, technical depth, and cross-functional collaboration. You will grow a high-performing team, maintain a strong technical bar, and be the connective tissue between engineering execution and broader product and business goals.

Be part of building the financial backbone of Delivery Hero. You’ll develop products that empower millions of customers and merchants, from seamless payments to innovative financial solutions like wallets and credit. Your work will support our path to profitability by creating financial flexibility for users and enabling smooth transactions across our markets.
 

Some problems we work on:

• How do we improve payment success rates at global scale while keeping the system simple and resilient?
• How do we reduce fraudulent transactions without adding friction to the payment journey?
• How do we handle peak lunch and dinner load cost-efficiently across multiple regions?
• How do we help engineers grow and do the best work of their careers?

What you will do:

• Team Leadership: Own the day-to-day leadership of a team of 6–10 backend engineers — running 1:1s, performance cycles, hiring, and onboarding with genuine care for each person's growth.
• Technical Depth: Stay close to the technical work. Participate in design reviews, architectural discussions, and RFC feedback — not to make decisions for the team, but to raise the quality of thinking and ensure sound engineering choices.
• Delivery & Execution: Own team-level delivery — planning, prioritization, and removing blockers — while balancing engineering quality with product velocity.
• Stakeholder Management: Partner with product, data, and business stakeholders to shape the team's roadmap. Translate technical constraints into product tradeoffs and ensure engineering is represented clearly in cross-functional forums.
• Engineering Standards: Uphold and evolve the team's standards for code quality, testing, observability, and reliability. Foster a culture of ownership — "you build it, you run it."
• Hiring & Culture: Play an active role in recruiting, interviewing, and building a diverse and inclusive team culture where engineers feel empowered and psychologically safe.
• Incident & On-call Health: Maintain a healthy on-call culture — ensuring incidents are resolved effectively, blameless post-mortems happen, and systemic issues get addressed.
   

• Leadership Experience: Proven experience managing engineering teams (6+) in a fast-paced environment. You know how to coach through conflict and build a cohesive squad.
• Technical Judgment: While you may not be coding daily, you have a deep background in distributed systems (JVM/Kotlin/Java). You can spot a flawed architectural pattern and ask the right questions about consistency, idempotency, and scaling.
• Systems Thinking: You understand the lifecycle of a high-throughput Postgres/Kafka stack. You know what "good" looks like in terms of observability (SLOs/SLIs) and CI/CD.
• Project Management Savvy: You are proficient in agile methodologies and have a track record of delivering complex, cross-team projects on time without burning out your team.
• Fintech Context: Familiarity with the stakes of financial systems—auditability, PCI-DSS compliance, and the "zero-error" mindset required for payments.
• Communication: You can explain a "cascading failure" to a Product VP and a "business pivot" to a Junior Engineer with equal clarity.
   

Ensuring you and all our Heroes are looked after, happy, and healthy is always on the menu. Because if you’re in good shape, then we’re in good shape.
