Director of Engineering

Riga is a key engineering hub for GoCardless, an important stand-alone hub with over 200 people. All of the core Connectivity group is based there, the team that builds and runs every bank debit and open banking connection we offer, owning the full problem space end to end: build, operate, on-call and incident management, the same way any of our other groups do.

We need someone to do three main things: ensure Connectivity delivers as a core group, responsible for all core banking connections and file submissions, managing billions of pounds in submissions every month, work that has to run flawlessly, every day; be the engineering site leader for Riga, working with local leadership to make the office a destination for people; and help advocate for and hire in Riga, working with grassroots training schools and communities to make GoCardless a destination for local talent.
