Engineering Manager

We are Paramount Commerce, a leading fintech company focused on simplifying payments in Canada. Since the early 2000s, we have redefined online purchasing by introducing a way to pay directly from a bank account, bypassing credit cards or e-wallets. Our commitment is to provide the highest standards of security and risk management that support seamless payments and rich data.

As we strengthen our position in Canada, we are strategically positioning ourselves for global expansion. To achieve our goals, we are seeking talented professionals who can push the boundaries of innovation, contributing to our growth across Canada and worldwide. Join us at Paramount Commerce, where we not only follow fintech trends but shape them.

We're seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Merchant Management & Retention (MMR) team in building robust, scalable, and intuitive systems that enhance merchant experience and engagement. This critical role will drive technical excellence and innovation across our merchant platform, enabling seamless onboarding, management, and retention of merchants through robust technology and superior user experience. This is a hands-on leadership role, guiding a high-performance, autonomous team while fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.

What will you do?

• Lead, manage, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of engineers dedicated to building merchant-centric features, APIs, portals, and systems that optimize merchant operations.
• Partner closely with Product Management, other Engineering domains, and Data Science team to understand merchant needs and translate them into pragmatic technical solutions.
• Architect and deliver scalable, high-performance systems that improve merchant onboarding, engagement, and loyalty.
• Ensure seamless integration and interoperability across our platforms, enabling merchants to efficiently manage their operations.
• Foster a culture of technical excellence through code reviews, best practices, and modern software engineering principles.
• Be hands-on with design and architecture decisions while leading by example in technical discussions and implementation reviews.

What we are looking for:

• 5+ years of software engineer development experience, preferred expertise in Java and Go.
• 3+ years of software engineer development management, with experience working with Product Manager partners and owning a space autonomously.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, scalability, and performance optimization.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a sensible approach to balancing innovation with proven technologies.
• Working knowledge of public clouds such as AWS or GCP is a big plus.
• Someone who can balance technical depth with leadership—your team should love working with you!

At Paramount Commerce, we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We practice ethical and fair hiring processes and strongly encourage applications from diverse backgrounds. Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.

We are committed to creating a place for our employees to be their authentic selves. We believe diversity of thought, background, and experience are essential to achieve our mission to simplify payments.
