Job Description Summary:

What you need to know about the role:

We're looking for a visionary Director of Engineering with a deep passion for scaling, ensuring system reliability, and performance to lead our Infrastructure team at Venmo. In this critical leadership role, you will have the opportunity to shape and enhance the technological backbone of the Venmo platform, ensuring it remains robust, efficient, and capable of handling the ever-increasing demands of our user base.

Meet our team:

Venmo was founded on the principles of breaking down the intimidating barriers around financial transactions to make them intuitive, friendly, and even fun. And it worked: people love sending money with Venmo, and we are growing rapidly! But we are only just getting started. We want to take that magic of sending money with Venmo and cascade it into every place where people use money. That means connecting people to their money in the most intuitive and fun ways possible. Users already love Venmo, but we know there are lots of things we have not thought of to make the experience of using Venmo even more delightful and valuable. All that is going to take a lot of figuring out. Let us figure it out together!
