Senior Development Manager / Senior Engineering Manager – Digital Banking 

Are you ready to transform the way businesses pay and get paid? 

Bottomline is a global leader in business payments and cash management, with more than 35 years of experience and over $16 trillion in payments processed annually. Our solutions power mission-critical financial operations for leading global enterprises and financial institutions. 

We are looking for a Senior Development Manager who is passionate about building scalable, secure, and high-performing Digital Banking platforms—and equally passionate about growing leaders, shaping strategy, and driving engineering excellence at scale. 

If you thrive at the intersection of technology, people leadership, and business impact, we want you on our team. 

 

Position Summary 

We are seeking a Senior Development Manager to provide technical and organizational leadership for teams building our Digital Banking solutions. 

More than $4 trillion in payments originate annually from these platforms, trusted by 17 of the top 50 U.S. banks by asset size. This role plays a critical part in influencing platform direction, architectural decisions, and long-term engineering strategy. 

You will lead multiple agile teams or larger cross-functional groups, partner closely with senior leadership, and act as a steward of engineering excellence. While you remain technically credible and hands-on where necessary, your primary focus will be scale, sustainability, and outcomes.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
