Cedar is expanding its product offerings and at the center of all that we do is payments. We are evolving our payment capabilities and payment platform to support our new offerings at scale. We need a Sr. Engineering Manager to help make this platform evolution successful. This role will lead two Payments teams through a combination of individual contributors and engineering managers.
Our payments platform is currently tightly coupled to business logic in ways that make it difficult to scale across multiple product lines. We have opportunities to improve observability for our systems to understand system health, diagnose issues quickly, and improve the payment experience. You will lead the solving of both categories of challenges.
The Payments Pillar’s scope extends beyond the payments platform. You will help enable Cedar’s payment capabilities in agentic workflows, improve performance across the Payments funnel, own the engineering partnership with third-party payment vendor integrations, and partner with Product and Commercial to evaluate and prioritize client payment feature requests.
You will work closely with staff and principal engineers to shape technical direction, evaluate tradeoffs, challenge assumptions, and bring an independent point of view. You do not need to be the primary architect or write code every day, but you should be comfortable engaging deeply in design reviews and technical decisions, deeply understanding your services, and taking accountability for outcomes.
