Tech Manager

In 2021, iZettle became ZettlebyPayPal to go further in its mission to redefine financial freedom and help small businesses succeed in a world of giants. By offering them the tools to get paid, sell smarter and grow, we are empowering sellers across the globe to reach their full potential. We believe that together we’re made for more and think that the best is yet to come. Our journey in putting an end to ordinary is just starting — Are you with us?


As our quest to democratise financial services continues at blazing speed, our Money Alliance is looking for an experienced Tech Manager to lead a group of incredibly talented People.
As our business grows, so does our Tech Organisation. To make the magic happen, our Tech Managers play a fundamental role in showing the way forward while ensuring that our People are having fun working together toward a common vision.
A glimpse of what you will get here
In our area we are building the Financial Platform that closes the gap between our Product teams and the Finance team. This way we enable our product to grow freely and our Finance team to keep the pace. We keep track of the small business’ money and do the pay-outs to them, enabling them to thrive.
In our systems we have a zero-fault tolerance while handling millions of events per day. Scalability and monitoring are crucial, testing is as important as production code itself and we write code for the developers that will come, not simply code that works.
