Job Title

About your role:

At Fiserv, we are modernising a high-volume global payment processing platform - moving from a monolithic, batch-driven architecture to an event-driven microservices platform on AWS. This is a ground-up build: Confluent Cloud for event streaming, Aurora PostgreSQL for persistence, Kubernetes for compute, and a modern Java/Kotlin stack throughout.

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead one or more delivery teams through this modernisation - owning both the people and the delivery outcomes. This is not a people-management-only role. You will be deeply technical, able to participate in architecture and design discussions, challenge your teams on technical approach, and make sound engineering trade-offs. You will build high-performing teams that deliver production-quality software iteratively and at pace.

You believe AI fundamentally changes how engineering teams work, and you will embed AI-assisted development into your teams’ ways of working as a core capability, not an experiment.

What you’ll do:

• Lead and develop engineering teams - hiring, coaching, and retaining strong engineers while building a culture of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement.

• Own delivery outcomes - accountable for your teams shipping production-ready software incrementally, with clear integration milestones rather than big-bang releases.

• Participate in technical direction - engaging in architecture discussions, design reviews, and trade-off decisions with the credibility to challenge and contribute, not just facilitate.

• Drive engineering standards within your teams - ensuring TDD, CI/CD discipline, observability, and production readiness are non-negotiable, not aspirational.

• Remove blockers and create clarity - shielding teams from noise, resolving cross-team dependencies, and ensuring engineers have what they need to deliver.

• Collaborate across sites - working as a peer with engineering leads in Pune, ensuring shared ownership, consistent standards, and effective cross-site delivery.

• Foster AI-first engineering practices - ensuring your teams actively leverage AI tools to accelerate development, testing, and problem-solving.

• Partner with Principal Engineers and Domain Architects - translating architectural direction into deliverable work and ensuring teams adopt patterns effectively.

Experience you’ll need to have:

• Proven experience leading engineering teams delivering distributed systems - you have managed engineers and owned delivery, not just one or the other.

• Strong technical background in modern Java or Kotlin, microservices, and event-driven architectures - you can read the code, review the design, and spot when something is going wrong.

• Experience building and scaling teams - hiring, onboarding, developing engineers, and creating team structures that deliver.

• A track record of delivering software iteratively in complex environments - you understand vertical slicing, integration-first approaches, and how to keep momentum.

• Ability to engage credibly with architects and principal engineers on technical decisions - you don’t need to be the smartest engineer in the room, but you need to follow the conversation and ask the right questions.

• A conviction that AI-assisted engineering is transformative, with experience embedding AI tools into team workflows.

• Experience with agile delivery in practice - not process for its own sake, but pragmatic approaches that drive actual delivery.

Experience that would be great to have:

• Familiarity with payments, financial services, or high-volume transactional domains is a plus but not essential.

• Exposure to Confluent Cloud, AWS, Kubernetes, or GitLab CI is beneficial.
