Mission
We're looking for an experienced manager to recruit and lead an engineering team that can build infrastructure at scale within 6 months.
Outcomes
1. Build tech infrastructure on AWS that scales us from 100,000s to 10,000,000s txns monthly within 4 months
○ Find all the issues with our current infrastructure and propose a new future state with management buy-in within 2 months
○ Act as an individual contributor to build the proposed state within 2 months
○ Product that you build has to:
■ meet mutually agreed SLOs
■ be deployed and scalable within a microservice architecture
■ have safe migration plan to move from existing system executing 500,000 transactions a month and growing
■ have verifiably high data integrity
2. Build an A team that ships and operates critical payments infrastructure
○ Coach existing team
■ Inherit small, junior team and coach them to become A players, i.e.
excellent individual contributors, contribute beyond their work and have potential to lead as our organisation grows
■ Build performance management framework: scorecards, 1-on- 1s
■ Fire team members who cannot become A players
■ Execute team culture within a “team of teams” framework
○ Set up and execute hiring until we have the right A team
■ Source 5 A players that can pass CTO’s screen
■ Hire until your role becomes redundant, i.e. if you disappear, they can continue operating at the same quality and speed
■ Build framework for hiring: scorecards, interview questions
3. Do whatever it takes to make Xendit succeed
You may be a good fit if
● You have managed teams that have shipped and operated critical infrastructure
● You have built technical infrastructure that has scaled on AWS or other cloud
● Have at least 3 years of engineering experience with proven management wins
● You thrive on autonomy and have proven you can push towards a goal by yourself
● Bonus points if you’ve built payments infrastructure before
What we care about
● Solve for the customer first: You build what customers want. You think about what is right for customers, not what is easiest for you
● Demonstrate mastery of honey badgery: You make ambitious goals. Then execute…no matter what stands in the way. When knocked down, you get up
● Take on challenges willingly and can be trusted to execute: You can be trusted to get things done right the first time quickly. You hit your deadlines
● You’re like us: You smile a lot, think work is fun and don’t take yourself too seriously.
You measure yourself against the best and believe feedback is the breakfast of champions. You follow the golden rule
● You’re remark-able: People naturally talk about how awesome you are. If we can’t find someone who raves about you then it’s unlikely we will too
