Engineering Manager - Monetization

About the role:   

Join Dashlane as Engineering Manager for Monetization, the engine powering our global commercial scale. Millions of individuals and world-class enterprises rely on Dashlane every day. Your team sits directly at the intersection of complex distributed systems and massive business leverage, turning security software into sustainable revenue.

Monetization gives you immediate, measurable impact. Optimizing checkout flows, refining trial conversions, and integrating localized payment gateways directly increase company ARR in real time. The technical challenge is just as compelling: you will build flexible systems to test new packaging models quickly, while maintaining resilient billing infrastructure with zero tolerance for downtime or transactional errors.

You will have technical ownership of Dashlane’s billing systems, payment gateway integrations, and recurring subscription architecture. As a leader, you will mentor a talented team of server and web engineers, working closely with Product, Design, Finance, and Data to deliver reliable platforms and ship ambitious projects.

Location:

You will be based in Lisbon, with English as your working language. At Dashlane, we embrace a hybrid culture that combines the best of both worlds: the creativity and energy of in-person collaboration with the flexibility of remote work. Our model is designed to strengthen team connections while supporting individual productivity and work-life balance. To maximize collaboration, we come together in the office on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, while Wednesdays and Fridays offer more flexibility for focused work.

At Dashlane, you will:

• Lead and cultivate a high-trust, high-accountability team: Coach, support, and mentor a distributed group of server and web engineers, empowering them to deliver independently with low friction and high impact.

• Own the transactional backbone: Oversee the architecture and operational health of Dashlane’s billing system, subscription lifecycle engines, checkout experiences, and internal back-office administration tools.

• Drive complex technical initiatives & migrations: Actively shape technical strategy, author and review Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and guide large-scale efforts that de-risk the platform as we scale upmarket.

• Bridge business strategy and technical execution: Partner deeply with Product Management, Design, and cross-functional partners in Finance, Data, and Legal to rapidly test, iterate, and roll out new plans, tiers, and pricing models without compromising billing integrity.

• Champion system reliability & data integrity: Treat zero-downtime, financial accuracy, and data consistency as primary product features—ensuring our transactional ledgers and subscription states are always resilient and auditable.

• Maintain a secure, low-scope compliance posture: Ensure billing and payment integrations correctly leverage our processors' PCI compliance to keep Dashlane's own PCI scope minimal, while partnering with Security and Legal on data-handling and regulatory requirements as we expand into new markets and payment methods.

• Accelerate engineering efficiency & AI adoption: Foster continuous improvement across our SDLC, leveraging modern tools and AI workflows to accelerate delivery, reduce toil, and streamline debugging.

• Participate in engineering hiring & community: Recruit and hire exceptional software engineers while championing Dashlane’s engineering brand within the broader tech community.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering

• 2+ years of experience in people and project management (ideally in a distributed environment)

• Fluency in English

What we’re looking for:

• Demonstrated Engineering Leadership: Proven track record of managing and growing high-performing engineering teams (including senior and staff levels) in a modern, distributed/remote environment

• Systems & Architectural Acumen: Strong background in distributed backend systems, event-driven architectures, relational databases, and transactional integrity. You can challenge technical designs, weigh trade-offs pragmatically, and identify bottlenecks before they impact production.

• Cross-Functional Fluency: Comfort partnering not just with PMs and designers, but directly with finance and operational stakeholders where business requirements demand extreme precision.

• Decisive & Action-Oriented: A pragmatic, bias-toward-progress approach—skilled at slicing complex technical migrations into safe, iterative phases while keeping team momentum high.

• Security Mindset: Strong interest in cybersecurity

• AI Tooling Experience: Someone actively leveraging AI tools in their current work, with an informed perspective on how AI impacts team delivery, productivity, and engineering quality

We're Also Looking For:

• Domain Expertise in Billing, FinTech, or Monetization: Practical experience with recurring billing architectures, subscription lifecycles, and payment processor integrations (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, mobile app store in-app purchases).

• Tech Stack: Javascript/Typescript experience

• Company Size: Experience with a company at roughly Dashlane's size and scaling up (100-500 employees)

• Education: You have a BS in Information Systems, Computer Engineering, Management, or similar relevant field

• Experience shipping software across varied, constrained client environments (browser extensions, native apps, embedded SDKs) where platform quirks and distribution constraints shape technical decisions.

• Flex Benefits - allocate a monthly amount to a pool of benefits
• Health insurance covered by Dashlane
• 5 extra vacation days each year, plus your birthday off
• Company wide well-being days (one per quarter)
• Equal Parental leave - up to 20 weeks fully paid leave, within the first year of birth or adoption
• Work schedule exemption - plan your work schedule in alignment with your manager
• Donation matching program -  Dashlane will match your donations to organizations driving positive impact in historically marginalized communities
• Access mental health services through Spring Health, available for you and your family members
• Team building & social events - weekly lunch in the office and monthly happy hour
• and much more
