The Senior Engineering Manager will build and scale a manager‑of‑managers layer and a reusable engineering platform across five teams in Valencia and Berlin, enabling rapid, secure, and maintainable delivery of a new business banking product. This role combines people leadership (hiring, coaching, performance calibration) with hands‑on ownership of engineering standards, platform architecture, and delivery practices in a regulated banking context.

{ your_responsibilities: [

• Lead and grow a manager‑of‑managers layer: hire, coach, and develop founding Engineering Managers and create clear career pathways across the Valencia site.  
• Own the engineering operating system: establish and enforce standards for code review, testing, CI/CD, architecture review, observability, and incident handling.  
• Drive multi‑team delivery from discovery through MVP and production hardening, resolving cross‑team dependencies and maintaining release discipline.  
• Build a modular, reusable business‑banking platform that accelerates future use cases and reduces duplicated implementation effort.  
• Ensure service reliability, performance, security, auditability, and operational readiness for customer‑facing mobile and backend systems.  
• Partner with Product, Design, Security, Architecture, and Compliance to align priorities and deliver customer value.  
• Represent Valencia engineering in site‑building, talent planning, and leadership alignment with the Head of Valencia.
