🚀 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays

In today’s digital world, payments often still feel outdated: random delays and confusing rules make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid. The European Payments Initiative (EPI) is here to change all that, forever.

With Wero, our digital wallet, we make sending and receiving money simple, seamless and secure across France, Belgium and Germany, with more countries and omnichannel solutions coming soon. Supported by 14 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, EPI is building a new, proudly European payment system: easy, instant and transparent, all for the greater good.

🔎 What's in it for you

As the Head of Product - Infrastructure, you will have the unique opportunity to shape the backbone of our cutting-edge payment solutions. You will be at the forefront of designing and implementing robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure that powers our innovative payment products.

Together, we’re creating a resilient and efficient European payment ecosystem that supports millions of transactions seamlessly across Europe.

At EPI, we embrace a remote-first culture, enabling our teams to work remotely from the country they are based in, with in-person meetings at least once a quarter to foster collaboration and connection.

🐝 About the team

You will be part of a Pan-European Product and Engineering team that operates in an Agile environment. You’ll work closely — and fully remotely — with experts in Product Management, Product Design, Web Dev, Mobile Dev, Backend Dev, QA and DevOps from Germany, France, the Netherlands, and other European locations.

You will report directly to the CPTO and be responsible for our SRE team, as well as our Data and Security teams.
