Risk Team (Colombia)

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing team delivering risk scoring capabilities for Plata's expansion into Colombia, on top of a mature, well-established platform. Partnering closely with risk analysts, you will help translate deep analytical insight and business risk strategy into scalable, reliable technology with clear business impact.

Our accumulated, unique expertise within the risk function — spanning processes, approaches, and tooling — provides a strong foundation for shipping changes with high confidence, robust protection against defects, and a consistently high quality bar.

This role calls for a technically grounded leader with solid engineering judgment, clear thinking, and strong communication — someone who can turn vision into strategy, stay open with stakeholders, and support teams with clarity, discipline, and empathy.

If you want to build and guide a strong engineering team at the core of Plata's risk engineering ecosystem, this role is for you.

Challenges that await you

• Lead the team across hiring, planning, task decomposition, process improvement, and effective cross-functional collaboration with risk analysts and other stakeholders
• Own team execution and delivery, ensuring predictable timelines and alignment with risk and business objectives
• Drive the development and continuous improvement of risk scoring and decisioning capabilities, building on existing domain expertise, processes, and tooling
• Tackle complex technical and domain challenges, ensuring solutions meet high standards for quality, reliability, and safety
• Shape the architecture, design, and implementation of backend services in Golang, with a focus on scalability, performance, and maintainability

What makes you a great fit

• 2+ years of experience leading engineering teams (hiring, development, performance, and delivery management)
