Role Summary

We are looking for a Director of AI-Native Engineering — a senior engineering leader who will shape how AI-native development is done at Payoneer. This is not just a team leadership role; it is an opportunity to define the operating model, standards, and architecture for AI-first product development across the organization.

You will lead multiple AI Pods (or a growing org of Pods), set the technical and methodological direction, and work closely with Product and business leaders to translate complex business challenges into scalable AI-native systems. You will balance strategic leadership with strong technical judgment, ensuring high-quality execution while building an organization that can move fast and learn continuously.

What you’ll do

 Lead, grow, and scale multiple AI-native engineering teams (AI Pods), developing managers and senior engineers
 Define and drive the AI-native engineering strategy, standards, and best practices across the organization
 Own end-to-end delivery across teams — from problem definition to production — ensuring alignment with business goals
 Partner with Product, Design, Data, and business stakeholders to shape high-impact solutions and prioritize initiatives
 Establish and enforce high standards for architecture, scalability, reliability, and code quality
 Drive adoption of AI-first development methodologies, tools, and workflows across R&D
 Build and scale evaluation, monitoring, and observability frameworks as a core part of system design
 Act as a senior technical authority — guiding architecture decisions and mentoring engineers and managers
 Define and evolve the operating model for AI Pods, including ownership, autonomy, and delivery practices
 Build a strong engineering culture focused on accountability, ownership, continuous improvement, and excellence
 Hire, develop, and retain top engineering talent, building a high-performing and inclusive organization

Who you are

 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of building and operating production systems
 5+ years of experience leading engineering teams and managers, including scaling organizations and driving cross-team impact
 Proven experience defining engineering strategy and leading large-scale, complex initiatives
 Hands-on background in backend or full-stack development, with strong architectural skills
 Experience building and scaling AI-based systems in production (e.g., agentic systems, orchestration, multi-step workflows)
 Strong understanding of evaluation frameworks, metrics, and production monitoring for AI systems
 Deep familiarity with modern AI development tools and workflows
 Experience working in cross-functional environments with Product, Design, and business stakeholders
 Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence at all levels of the organization
 Strong people leadership skills, with a passion for developing leaders and building high-performing teams
 High ownership mindset — able to operate in ambiguity, make decisions, and drive execution

Nice to have

 Experience in fintech or other regulated environments
 Experience with distributed systems, messaging frameworks (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS), and cloud-native architectures
 Experience building SaaS platforms in microservices environments
 Familiarity with frontend technologies (React, Angular)
