In this role as Engineering Manager for our Verification squad, you will lead the team responsible for identity checks across all of SumUp's markets
This is a high-impact opportunity to guide a team running high-stakes work streams across KYC and a wide range of regulatory environments, in a domain that is both technically complex and central to the customer journey.
You will help bring clarity, stability, and momentum to a complex domain, supporting the evolution of legacy-heavy systems into a platform that is increasingly observable, maintainable, and resilient in the face of a fast-changing regulatory landscape.
The role calls for strong technical depth and sound engineering judgment, enabling you to lead delivery with confidence while shaping the architecture decisions that will define how verification works at SumUp for years to come.
</p> <p>You will work closely with Product, Compliance, and Operations to ensure solutions are practical, safe, and scalable, with regulatory.
At the same time, you will create the conditions for engineers to do their best work by providing direction, support, and space for ownership.
Together, you will raise the bar for how verification systems are designed, built, and operated at SumUp.
