GoCardless are here to support you and we’re committed to making the hiring process inclusive and accessible for everyone. If you need extra support or any adjustments made, please reach out to your Talent Partner.

Remember, we don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.

At GoCardless we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool to make better, faster decisions. We’re making it easy to use both- for businesses everywhere.  

GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 85,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries. We’re an award-winning London based fintech, with additional offices in Riga, Paris and Melbourne.

We’re seeking an Engineering Manager to join the Risk Monitoring engineering team in our Riga office. This team focuses on our risk monitoring tooling, allowing us to identify fraudulent and risky behaviour. In effect, this helps to protect GoCardless from hostile and reckless actors.

First and foremost, coding! Our Engineering Managers still contribute to the codebase on a daily basis. While the team mostly works in Ruby we’re comfortable with candidates skilled in similar languages who are willing to learn!

This is an ideal opportunity for a strong technical leader looking to stretch into a more formal management position, collaborating as a dual-lead with the Product Manager, and gaining a lot of exposure to stakeholders across the business in London and Riga.

The team integrates with various risk management tools to empower our Risk Strategy teams to create rules and models that detect patterns of behaviour. We’re looking to further integrate these systems so they can automatically take action to prevent risky activity on our platform.

The team has already demonstrated a significant impact, saving GoCardless significant amounts of money, and reducing risk exposure by millions.

What excites you 

• You love creating efficient processes that really get to the heart of a problem, and are prepared to think laterally about how to solve it.
• You love the craft of building systems that can scale, that can last, and can do so through evolution, rather than a big rebuild!
• You love to work in an autonomous team and take responsibility for your team’s delivery, working with a Product Manager to decide each leap forward.

What excites us  

• Lots of experience with APIs, and data driven systems
• Exposure to risk management systems
• Exposure to Machine Learning, and fraud detection
