Engineering Manager - Team Monetisation (f/m/d)

Engineering Manager - Team Monetisation (f/m/d) We help thousands of animals each day to find a new loving home as well as assisting their human caregivers in the process. Our ambition is to provide trust, safety and convenience to the animal world About us Pet Media Group (PMG) is a scale-up that acquires, launches, and develops market-leading pet marketplaces globally, with over 1.5 million animals finding new homes through our platforms every year. We currently operate in 6 countries (UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and the US), all within just 5 years of launching. Here's one of our apps: Pets4Homes.co.uk The way pets find new loving homes has remained largely unchanged for centuries. We're on a mission to change that through innovative technology, and increasingly through the intelligent use of AI. We're a young and ambitious team who have built unicorns before (e.g. Avito), backed by some of Europe's leading investors (e.g. Verdane and Otiva, early backers of Klarna, CAIA, Apotea, and Easypark). Who are we looking for? We're growing our Monetisation team and looking for an Engineering Manager to lead it. This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll grow and support a team of engineers, own delivery and technical direction for the Monetisation domain, and stay close enough to the code to make sound calls alongside your team. The Monetisation team works on several key parts of the business. In the VAS (value-added services) domain they build and maintain everything from pricing, checkouts and payment processing, recurring subscriptions, product activations, and experimentation/CRO. They also build and maintain an escrow system that lets users safely run the entire transaction through the platform, touching topics like KYC/KYB/identity verification, payment processing and payouts. You'll be accountable for how this team performs: the quality of what it ships, the growth of the people on it, and how the roadmap connects daily engineering work to revenue outcomes. You'll partner closely with product and the wider engineering leadership to set priorities and clear blockers. We also want someone who treats AI as a core part of how a modern team works. You encourage your engineers to use LLMs and AI tooling in their daily workflow, and you have a view on where the technology takes our ways of working. What you'll do Lead, grow and support a team of full-stack engineers (1:1s, career development, hiring, feedback) Own delivery for the Monetisation domain: predictable, high-quality shipping against a clear roadmap Set technical direction with your team and stay hands-on enough to guide architecture and unblock hard problems Partner with product to shape priorities across VAS, payments and escrow Champion AI-assisted engineering as a standard part of how the team builds Requirements We're a fast-growing scale-up. We want teams that build fast, fail fast, and learn fast. You don't need to be a world-class expert in every tool we use, but you do need a critical, open mindset, a strong engineering background, and a genuine enthusiasm for AI-assisted development. Core (required): Experience managing and growing a team of software engineers, including people development and hiring A strong engineering background yourself, ideally full-stack with TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js and React A track record of owning delivery for a team or domain: turning strategy into a roadmap and shipping it Comfortable staying technical: reviewing designs, guiding architecture, and making trade-offs with your team Understanding of GraphQL and its usage in large systems with multiple consumers Experience with relational databases like PostgreSQL Active use of AI tools (e.g. Claude, Cursor, Codex) in engineering work, and a point of view on how teams should adopt them Working proficiency in English is required Bonus (helpful & appreciated): Experience in the payments or fintech space (Stripe, Adyen, Braintree), or with escrow / KYC / identity verification Experience with monitoring & observability tools like Grafana Experience with experimentation / CRO Experience introducing or scaling AI coding workflows at team or company level Our tech stack Next.js, React, Node.js & React Native (TypeScript throughout) · GitLab CI/CD · Elasticsearch · Redis · GraphQL & PostgreSQL · Knex · Docker · Serverless with AWS Lambda · AWS · Grafana · Bitrise What we offer Join a rapidly growing, already-profitable business with a clear vision and genuine energy Full ownership of a mission-critical domain and the team behind it A diverse team across Sweden, Germany, Austria, UK, Poland, Portugal, Bosnia, Croatia, Ukraine and Egypt A real opportunity to shape our tech department and help define how AI becomes part of how we build Competitive compensation and great benefits (remote or in-person) We very much look forward to your application, contact us if you have any questions!
