ppEmbat is one of the fastest-growing FinTech scale-ups in Europe. Founded in 2021, we are on a mission to redefine how mid-market and enterprise companies interact with their money. We don't just offer visibility; we provide the financial operating system for the modern era. /p h3The Evolution: /h3 pFrom SaaS to Infrastructure — we've moved beyond being a platform to becoming a powerhouse of financial services. We are building EmbatOne, our own banking infrastructure designed to bridge the gap between traditional banking and seamless digital operations. And with TellMe, our proprietary AI financial assistant, we are empowering CFOs and treasury teams to query complex data and get real-time insights through natural language, turning manual reporting into an archaic memory. /p pbThe Team: /b150+ exceptional individuals working from our hubs in Spain, UK and DACH, united by a culture of high performance and radical ownership. /p pbThe Volume: /bOur transaction engines handle massive, high-volume payment flows for multinationals, ensuring security and resilience in every cent moved. /p pbThe Backing: /b Backed by tier-1 investors like Creandum, Samaipata, 4Founders Capital and VentureFriends. We recently secured a €16M Series A to accelerate our global expansion.br/ /p h3bWhat are we looking for? /b /h3 pWe're looking for one senior leader to own our entire Platform Data vertical (infrastructure, developer experience, reliability, and data) This person will set the vision and strategy, build and coach the team, and stand up the engineering foundation the rest of the company will build on for years. /p pPlatform and data share the same DNA: both are internal products whose customers are our own engineering, product, and business teams, and both win or lose on the same disciplines — standards, self-service, adoption, reliability, and cost. They can't be governed by two conflicting philosophies, which is exactly the risk two separate junior leads would create. /p pThis role requires vision and multi-year strategy across infra, DevEx, reliability, and data — treating each as a product with a roadmap and adoption metrics, not a backlog of tickets; the ability to hire, mentor, and grow the engineers underneath, including future leads; and the cross-team authority to run scorecards, reviews, and escalations that hold other teams accountable. Foundations are far cheaper to build right from the start than to rehabilitate after years of accumulated debt — this is the role that gets it right from day one. /p h3bWhat will you do? /b /h3 pbPlatform (internal product) /b /p pOwn our infrastructure providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and manage partner relationships. /p pBuild shared frameworks, service templates, and pipelines used across engineering. /p pOwn Developer Experience — obsessively optimize PR, deploy, and test-suite times. /p pRun CI/CD, staging, feature flags, and progressive deploys. /p pManage shared tech: databases, queues, caches, and auth. /p pOwn cloud cost visibility and optimization, plus operations and runbooks. /p pbReliability (built early, not as an afterthought) /b /p pStandardize the Four Golden Signals across every service. /p pDefine SLOs and SLAs in measurable terms, not aspirations. /p pTurn reliability into a quantitative decision through error budgets. /p pHold other teams accountable through public scorecards and reviews. /p pOwn incident management, observability, and alerting. /p pbData Platform (talks to engineers) /b /p pBuild our unified stack: warehouse/lake, ingestion, orchestration, and dbt. /p pOwn regulation and compliance: GDPR, PII, retention, and data contracts. /p pEnable self-service access, plus data-quality tests and alerts. /p pbData Analysis Ops (talks to product business) /b /p pBuild product and business metrics dashboards people actually use. /p pLead ad-hoc strategic analysis — cohorts, channels, conversion. /p pOwn experimentation: A/B framework, analysis, and governance. /p pDrive forecasting and growth modeling. /p pbObjectives: /b /p pbMonth 1: /bGet a full diagnostic of the current state of infra, DevEx, reliability, and data across the company, and meet every team that depends on this foundation. /p pbMonth 3: /bShip the first version of the roadmap for platform and data as internal products, with SLOs defined for the most critical services and the first scorecards in place. /p pbMonth 6: /bHave the team hiring plan underway, error budgets driving real prioritization decisions, and the unified data stack in production for at least one core domain. /p pbMonth 12: /bHave built and be coaching a team of leads underneath you, with platform, reliability, and data operating as mature internal products with adoption metrics the rest of the company relies on. /p pProven experience leading platform, infrastructure, or data functions at a senior level, ideally having owned both at once. /p pA track record of hiring, mentoring, and growing engineers — including developing future leads, not just executing individually. /p pHands‑on depth in cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern CI/CD practices. /p pDirect experience defining and operationalizing SLOs, SLAs, and error budgets — not just observability tooling. /p pExperience with modern data stacks (warehouse/lake, ingestion, orchestration, dbt) and data governance (GDPR, PII, data contracts). /p pStrong cross-team stakeholder management — comfortable holding other teams accountable through scorecards and escalations. /p pAbility to treat internal tooling as a product: roadmaps, adoption metrics, and NPS, not just tickets. /p pbr/bWhat comes with working at Embat? /b /p pWe provide the platform for you to reach your highest professional and personal goals. At Embat, you'll work in an agile, high-performance environment where we ditch bureaucracy in favor of ownership and impact.
