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
