We are orchestrating a high-performing Money & Risk team that works with pace and enthusiasm!

Every payment that moves through Yuno has to be safe, and every cent has to add up. Our Money & Risk pillar is what makes that possible: it protects our clients from fraud and scams, and makes sure every transaction is reconciled, settled and accounted for.

As an Engineering Manager within Money & Risk, you will lead the engineers behind Risk Operations (fraud and scam prevention) and Money Operations (reconciliation and chargebacks) on a platform processing payments across 80+ countries.

You will own both the people strategy and the technical direction of a team that sits at the heart of our clients' trust in Yuno, operating in a fast-moving, global environment where accuracy, security and reliability are mission-critical.

• Lead and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Mentor engineers at all levels, supporting their growth through coaching, structured feedback, and clear career expectations.
• Drive hiring processes to attract and retain top engineering talent globally.
• Create an environment where engineers are empowered to take ownership and deliver with autonomy and pace.
• Own the full lifecycle of Yuno's risk and money operations systems: fraud and scam detection, risk rules and scoring, reconciliation, settlement and chargeback management.
• Drive hands-on technical contribution through architecture design, code reviews, and complex troubleshooting, setting the technical bar for your team.
• Guide architectural decisions for high-throughput, real-time and batch systems where correctness matters, ensuring they are scalable, auditable, and cost-efficient.
• Set and enforce best practices across API design, testing, observability, data integrity, and documentation.
• Ensure the team follows secure development and data handling practices aligned with PCI-DSS, GDPR, and other compliance frameworks applicable to the payments industry.
• Champion an AI-first engineering culture, setting standards for AI-assisted development, automated testing, and LLM-powered workflows, ensuring your team treats these tools as a default, not an afterthought.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Data and ML, Finance, Compliance, and Customer Success teams in an agile environment to deliver against a fast-moving roadmap.
• Partner with Finance and Operations to make reconciliation and chargeback flows accurate, automated, and transparent for our clients.
