Engineering Manager - Billing

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Billing unit.

You will own a critical part of the system – a billing orchestration and monetization platform, responsible for how payments, billing flows, financial operations are executed, routed, and reconciled across multiple systems and providers – as well as the broader revenue and creator payouts ecosystem.

This is a management-first role with strong technical depth, where reliability, correctness, and scalability of financial systems are core success factors.

What You Will Do

  • Lead a focused backend engineering team (~5 engineers) responsible for the Billing domain

  • Own delivery of the Billing Platform, including core billing orchestration logic and smart routing capabilities for financial operations

  • Own delivery and evolution of the Statistics service: video tracking, premium views calculations, trending calculations (videos/photos/actors/channels), and creator analytics (views, watch time, likes, premium seconds watched)

  • Own delivery and evolution of the Affiliates service: affiliate attribution/tracking and export of video feeds including affiliate link parameters

  • Own the premium budget calculation and distribution to creators (creator income per video)

  • Own the creator invoicing, payouts, and reconciliation workflows

  • Own the internal contractor invoice generation workflow (with payouts executed by accountants)

  • Drive design and evolution of payment and billing workflows, ensuring correctness, idempotency, consistency, and fault tolerance end-to-end

  • Partner closely with Product Manager and Tech Lead to translate fintech requirements into clear technical plans and realistic delivery roadmaps

  • Own execution predictability for the team (sprint planning, delivery commitments, scope management, quarterly planning)

  • Establish and maintain engineering processes that support reliable delivery (code reviews, incident handling, retrospectives, post-mortems)

  • Maintain high standards for financial system quality, including auditability, traceability, and data correctness

  • Build a strong, ownership-driven engineering culture with high accountability and attention to detail in fintech systems

  • Provide clear, structured reporting on progress, risks, and priorities to Engineering Leadership

What We Are Looking For

  • 3+ years of engineering management experience leading backend teams (5+ engineers)

  • Strong background in backend engineering with ability to deeply understand distributed systems and architecture trade-offs

  • Experience working with financial systems, billing systems, payment flows, or transactional platforms

  • Experience with analytics/statistics pipelines and/or creator monetization domains (e.g., attribution, revenue share, payouts, invoicing) is a strong plus

  • Proven ability to lead teams delivering mission-critical, high-reliability systems

  • Experience owning delivery commitments and improving predictability in complex engineering environments

  • Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies and engineering execution practices

  • Ability to evaluate technical decisions and challenge architecture when needed

  • Strong communication skills with ability to align engineering, product, and leadership stakeholders

  • English B2+ or higher,

Bonus Points

  • Exposure to smart routing systems (e.g., payment routing, decision engines, optimization flows)

  • Hands-on backend experience with PHP

  • Experience with relational and distributed data systems in production

  • Familiarity with observability for financial systems (tracing, audit logs, reconciliation pipelines)

Platform Stack (Billing Unit)

  • Language: PHP (core backend language)

  • Databases: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse

  • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD

  • Messaging & Caching: Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka

  • Domain Focus: Billing orchestration, smart routing engine, payment flows, statistics/analytics services, affiliates attribution, premium budget distribution, invoicing & payouts, reconciliation, financial event processing
