Help us redefine what it means to be a financial partner for everyday heroes

Sambla Group has already helped over 1 million customers take control of their finances. Today we are entering a new chapter. Our ambition is to move beyond loan brokerage and become a trusted personal finance partner. That means supporting customers across more aspects of their financial lives, building app-first experiences, exploring new ventures, and focusing on lasting relationships rather than one-off transactions.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager who wants to be part of this journey. This role is about enabling teams to build products that matter, fostering technical excellence, and helping engineers grow. You will work closely with Product to align priorities, ensure healthy delivery, and maintain the long-term technical health of systems and teams.

What you will do

• Lead and support a cross-functional engineering team, ensuring clarity, alignment, and focus
  

• Partner with the Product Manager to prioritize work, plan increments, and balance delivery speed with long-term system health
  

• Ensure high standards in software design, architecture, developer experience, testing, security, and operational reliability
  

• Establish and track meaningful engineering and product metrics that drive continuous improvement
  

• Coach and mentor engineers, support career growth, and foster a culture of learning, ownership, and collaboration
  

• Promote modern engineering practices including CI/CD, observability, and secure coding
  

• Collaborate with stakeholders across Security, Architecture, Compliance, Data, and Design to deliver safe and high-quality products in a regulated environment

• Help evolve how we work: ways of working, technical patterns, and team processes

What we are looking for

• We’re looking for someone with a solid background in software engineering who has also taken on leadership responsibilities, such as serving as an Engineering Manager or Tech Lead
  

• Solid understanding of modern engineering practices and system architecture
  

• Experience working in product-oriented teams with iterative development and frequent releases in a highly regulated sector
  

• Ability to build strong partnerships with Product Managers and cross-functional stakeholders, and raise the bar for ways for working within the team and department
  

• Comfortable using data and metrics to run experiments, guide decisions and measure outcomes
  

• Passion for coaching, developing people, and fostering a supportive team environment and a dynamic Engineering Culture in the department
  

• Experience in our technologies: TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, AWS (including CDK and CloudFormation)
  

• You lead with clarity, calmness, empathy, and accountability
  

• Experience or understanding of IT governance frameworks, the agile manifesto, and regulatory standards such as DORA or GDPR is considered a bonus

Why this role?

• Lead with impact: guide a team that ships products used by thousands of customers

• Shape how we work: help define engineering practices and quality standards at an important stage in Sambla’s evolution
  

• Grow and develop people: play a key role in coaching and supporting engineers as they progress in their careers
  

• Work in partnership: collaborate closely with Product to create clear priorities and predictable, meaningful delivery

• Work with purpose: what you enable helps everyday people improve their financial lives

What we offer:

• Business in mind & people at heart – we deliver results together and celebrate our achievements.
• A varied and challenging role in a multinational and highly innovative company, where we value the development of our employees
• We are strong believers in creating a fun workplace where people enjoy coming to work.
• A friendly culture with openness and respect for one another, with the possibility to influence and make a difference on society and people’s everyday lives.
