The Opportunity:

We are looking for Versatile, curious, and energetic Engineering Manager to the Data Infrastructure team in the Visa Open Banking (VOB) organisation

The Work itself:

• Lead and grow a high-performing team of data infrastructure engineers delivering secure, reliable platforms on AWS and GCP.
• Act as the technical owner/ATC for the services the team owns: define SLIs/SLOs, manage on-call/incident response, serve as the escalation point, and drive post‑incident reviews and corrective actions.
• Own ways of working (WoW): run effective team ceremonies (standups, planning, demos, retros), maintain a healthy backlog.
• Drive technical direction: facilitate and contribute to design decisions and RFCs, ensure pragmatic trade‑offs on reliability, cost, and time‑to‑value, and uphold security-by-design and compliance standards.
• Partner with product, data, security, and platform stakeholders to shape roadmaps, set clear priorities, and deliver against commitments.
• Recruit, onboard, and retain talent: set goals, coach for performance and career growth, and build an inclusive, feedback‑rich culture.
• Ensure operational excellence: capacity planning, cost management/FinOps, observability, runbooks, and automation to reduce toil and improve MTTR.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
