The Role: Lead, Code, and Inspire 
We’re looking for a Mobile Engineering Manager to lead the evolution of an emerging remittance product. This is a hybrid role combining leadership and hands-on coding.

You’ll guide a tight-knit team of mobile engineers and work cross-functionally with teams across Brightwell to bring real innovation to life. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and wants to make a measurable impact on the lives of people sending and receiving money globally.
