If you’re ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us. Attributes We Value We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles . You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor. You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next. The GTPN (Global Treasury and Payment Network) Team is at the heart of Airwallex’s payment infrastructure, specializing in expanding the coverage of Airwallex’s global treasury and payment network, enhancing its capabilities and user experience, and provisioning innovative payment products grounded in a robust financial infrastructure. With the ongoing expansion of our global presence, we seek a highly accomplished and motivated Engineering Director to assume leadership of this dynamic team. While you are a technically strong engineer who is still passionate about engineering, your leadership skills, product thinking, and business acumen are what really set you apart. You will be accountable for the overall quality and delivery of multiple engineering streamlines. You will be the one clearing road blockers, providing context and guidance to the teams, and will know when to escalate. This role will work with key stakeholders across the globe and will manage all engineers in the GTPN team to define the tech vision of the business domain and build products that not only meet but exceed our customers' expectations.
