Senior Engineering Manager FinTech - SAP Financial Systems

At Booking.com, data drives our decisions. Technology is at our core. But our company is more than datasets, and lines of code. We’re the thrill of the first night in a new place, the excitement of the next morning, the friends you make, the journeys you take, the sights you see, and the food you sample. Through our products, partners and people, we make it easier for everyone to experience the world.

FinTech is an ever-changing, complex and extremely exciting industry. To accomplish Booking.com’s mission, we need to offer a frictionless payment experience to our guests and partners. The FinTech business unit is in charge of creating best in class payment experiences for bookers and merchants, and helps internal clients grow their businesses.

The Financial Systems team in the FinTech business unit provides technical expertise to the finance department and is responsible for supporting and innovating SAP ERP/S4HANA, SAP BI, Native HANA solutions, and many other connected external systems. We want to change the way people work with enterprise systems, by building an application platform that supports simplification of business processes and empowers the finance community with better integrations and financial insights.

As a Senior Engineering Manager your role is to enable your team, its growth and success. You can hold your own in a technical argument, but you know getting out of the way is often the best option. You get things done via influence, not authority. You unlock the creativity of your team and inspire them to build the best for our customers. You work closely with your product counterparts to ensure we are always working towards what’s most important for our customers. And you take full end to end responsibility for your area.

This is an advanced engineering role on the intersection of business and technology; requiring knowledge of building highly scalable and reliable services as well as a strong ability to connect engineering with business concerns.
