Pliant is a modular B2B payments platform that combines commercial card issuing, payment accounts, FX, and spend management in one system — adapting to existing setups rather than requiring customers to replace them. Fintechs and software platforms embed Pliant's payment infrastructure into their own products, from API-based Cards-as-a-Service to fully white-label solutions. A principal member of Visa and Mastercard, Pliant issues commercial cards in 13 currencies across 32 countries — under its own European e-money license and with licensed partners in the UK and US. Pliant builds corporate payment infrastructure, and the Platform team's job is to give the rest of engineering a cloud platform they can build on without having to think about it. This is the first Engineering Manager role for Platform Core, a team of four engineers already running Pliant's core Terraform, multi-account AWS, and IAM and networking foundations. You'll take over the people side while owning the roadmap for where the platform goes next, treating internal engineering teams as the customers of what you build.



Own the roadmap for Platform Core's Terraform infrastructure, multi-account AWS setup, and IAM/networking foundations. Collaborate closely with Security Engineering to ensure access controls and compliance requirements are built into the platform from the ground up, not bolted on after the fact. Steer the ongoing compute migration from ECS/Fargate to Kubernetes through to completion. Manage and grow the team through 1:1s, hiring, and performance development. 7–10 years in software or infrastructure engineering, including at least 3 years managing engineers directly. Hands?on depth with Terraform, multi?account AWS, and container or serverless compute. Datadog or equivalent observability experience at scale. Kubernetes migration actually stands. Terraform, Spacelift, AWS (including a dedicated PCI-scoped account), Datadog. We're mid-migration from ECS to Kubernetes. Your choice of preferred OS, Windows or Mac Flexibility and possibility to work remotely
