Job Details

The Company

PayPal has been revolutionizing commerce globally for more than 25 years. Creating innovative experiences that make moving money, selling, and shopping simple, personalized, and secure, PayPal empowers consumers and businesses in approximately 200 markets to join and thrive in the global economy. 

We operate a global, two-sided network at scale that connects hundreds of millions of merchants and consumers. We help merchants and consumers connect, transact, and complete payments, whether they are online or in person. PayPal is more than a connection to third-party payment networks. We provide proprietary payment solutions accepted by merchants that enable the completion of payments on our platform on behalf of our customers.

We offer our customers the flexibility to use their accounts to purchase and receive payments for goods and services, as well as the ability to transfer and withdraw funds. We enable consumers to exchange funds more safely with merchants using a variety of funding sources, which may include a bank account, a PayPal or Venmo account balance, PayPal and Venmo branded credit products, a credit card, a debit card, certain cryptocurrencies, or other stored value products such as gift cards, and eligible credit card rewards.  Our PayPal, Venmo, and Xoom products also make it safer and simpler for friends and family to transfer funds to each other. We offer merchants an end-to-end payments solution that provides authorization and settlement capabilities, as well as instant access to funds and payouts. We also help merchants connect with their customers, process exchanges and returns, and manage risk. We enable consumers to engage in cross-border shopping and merchants to extend their global reach while reducing the complexity and friction involved in enabling cross-border trade. 

Our beliefs are the foundation for how we conduct business every day.  We live each day guided by our core values of Inclusion, Innovation, Collaboration, and Wellness. Together, our values ensure that we work together as one global team with our customers at the center of everything we do – and they push us to ensure we take care of ourselves, each other, and our communities.

Job Summary:

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to help expand commerce at Venmo. We have successful products in market – businesses accept payments through our app, and millions use Pay with Venmo for online checkout, and we see huge potential to do more.

The opportunity is clear: merchants want better ways to connect with our massive user base, and our users want to discover and support businesses they love. We have a strong foundation, proven scale, and the resources of a major tech company. What we need is someone to help us build the next chapter.

This role offers more autonomy than typical engineering management positions. While we have clear business goals and technical standards, you'll have significant input in shaping how commerce evolves at Venmo. We know the destination – making commerce more social and human – but you'll help chart the course.

Job Description:

What You'll Do 

  • Lead a team of 8-20 engineers building and scaling commerce features used by millions of people and businesses daily 

  • Partner with product, design, and business teams to turn ideas into shipped features that solve real customer problems 

  • Own technical strategy for your area – making architecture decisions that balance current needs with future growth 

  • Develop your engineers through regular one-on-ones, career planning, and creating opportunities for them to grow 

  • Maintain high engineering standards while moving fast – code reviews, testing strategies, and operational excellence 

  • Make informed trade-offs between competing priorities and communicate decisions clearly to stakeholders 

  • Build team culture that encourages innovation, ownership, and learning from both successes and failures 

What We're Looking For 

  • 2+ years managing engineering teams, ideally in consumer products or fintech 

  • Track record of shipping and scaling products to millions of users 

  • Strong technical background – you can review code, debug issues, and guide architectural decisions 

  • Experience with distributed systems and full-stack development (mobile, web, backend) 

  • Ability to work effectively with cross-functional partners and communicate technical concepts clearly 

  • Customer focus – you start with user problems, not technical solutions 

  • Comfort working in environments where priorities can shift based on market needs 

  • Experience building and developing high-performing teams 

  • Strong project management skills and ability to deliver on commitments 

Nice to Have 

  • Experience with payment systems or financial products 

  • Background in social, marketplace, or platform businesses 

  • Experience at both startups and established companies 

  • Understanding of small business needs and merchant tools 

  • Track record of building products from concept to launch 

  • Experience managing distributed or remote teams 

  • History of building diverse and inclusive teams 

Join Us  

This is a chance to shape how millions of people and businesses connect through commerce. You'll work with talented people who care deeply about building products that matter. While we're part of a large, stable company, this role offers the excitement of building something new with real impact. 

If you're looking for a role where you can combine technical leadership, people management, and product building at scale, let's talk. We're ready to build the future of social commerce – are you?
