Engineering Manager for Money Core

Banking hasn't changed much in decades. We're changing that. One product at a time.

Lunar is a Nordic challenger bank building the future of financial life with AI at the core. Our engineers, designers, and product people work on problems that actually matter. Making money simpler, smarter, and more rewarding for millions of people across the Nordics. 🚀

Fully licensed and founded in 2015, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Stockholm.

We move fast, we build with purpose, and we're just getting started.

As our new Engineering Manager you'll join the Money Core team based in Aarhus, reporting to Girish, working to keep the systems that power Lunar's banking products reliable, scalable, and ahead of what's next.

What will you do?

• Lead 1-2 cross-functional engineering teams — setting direction, removing blockers, and creating the conditions where engineers can do their best work.

• Drive the technical strategy for Core Banking, translating where the industry is heading into concrete decisions about how we build and ship.

• Partner with Product and other business teams to make sure technical priorities connect directly to what matters for customers.

• Own engineering quality end-to-end — from development practices to deployment — and raise the bar on how we build reliable, scalable systems.

• Shape how AI becomes a consistent part of how your teams work, moving from ad-hoc experimentation to embedded, high-impact practice.

What are we looking for in you?

• 2-3 years of experience leading engineering teams, with a track record of enabling strong individual contributors and technical leads to shape direction — not directing from above, but creating space for others to do their best thinking.

• Solid infrastructure expertise — you understand how systems are built, hosted, and scaled, and you've worked through the architectural trade-offs that come with it.

• Familiarity with hosting cost optimisation and the decisions that drive infrastructure spend up or down.

• A working understanding of how data and AI intersect in a modern engineering org, and what it takes to build teams that use AI tools effectively.

• Strategic clarity in a transformative moment — comfortable setting direction when the landscape is shifting, and able to bring your team along.

What you get (aka. Benefits and perks)

• 4 days in the office. We're a team that builds together, thinks together, and moves together. Showing up is part of how we work.

• State of the art equipment. The newest computer, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. We want you to do your best work without anything slowing you down.

• Pension, health insurance, and enhanced parental leave. From your financial future to your family moments. We've got you covered.
