INGENIEUR CHEF DE SERVICE H/F INGENIERIE TRAVAUX

Founded in 2022, ValPay is an all-in-one payment solution tailored to empower its partners’ software platforms. Designed for ambitious business owners wanting to focus on growing their business rather than the logistics needed to run it, ValPay helps companies prevent fraud, gain access to real-time reporting, and accept both online and in-person payments. ValPay’s PayFac-as-a-Service model gives its partners all the benefits of integrated payments while handling the heavy lifting. As Head of Engineering, you will own the engineering organization at ValPay — how it is structured, how it delivers, and how good it gets. You will report to the CEO and work alongside product and go-to-market leadership to turn a talented, lean team into a predictable, high-performing engineering function. ValPay’s engineering team has grown quickly and now needs someone to put real operating discipline behind it: a delivery rhythm people can count on, a management layer that holds, and technical standards that let the platform scale with the business — without losing the speed and hands‑on energy that got ValPay here. This role is scoped as Head of Engineering today, and it is designed as the potential path to Chief Technology Officer at ValPay. What earns the step up is straightforward: a delivery organization that runs without heroics, a leadership bench you built, and a track record of technical judgment the CEO and the board can lean on. Own engineering delivery end to end — planning, execution, release cadence, and quality — and make it predictable enough that the business can plan around it. Build and lead the engineering management layer: hire, develop, and coach engineering managers, tech leads, and senior/staff engineers, and put a durable structure beneath you. Set and enforce technical standards across the platform — architecture, code quality, testing, observability, and documentation — so the system scales as GMV and merchant count grow. Serve as the senior technical escalation point for integrations with core payments partners (Adyen, Fiserv), working complex issues to resolution and feeding what you learn back into the platform. Drive AI adoption inside engineering — in the SDLC, in developer productivity, and in the product where it measurably improves outcomes. Own engineering operations and reliability: on‑call, incident response, postmortems, and the SLAs a PCI DSS Level 1 payments platform has to hold. 8+ years in software engineering, including 4+ years leading engineering teams, with at least some of that time managing managers or tech leads. ~ Proven experience building, structuring, and scaling technology organizations, ideally in high-growth environments. ~ Experience hiring and developing engineering leaders, and the appetite to keep doing it. ~ You can still apply hands‑on technical depth, you review architecture, you can go deep in a design review or an incident, and engineers respect your judgment. Strong judgment on build‑versus‑buy, technical debt, and where to spend engineering capacity — and the ability to explain those calls in business terms to a non‑technical executive team. ~ A track record of installing delivery process in a fast‑moving team without killing its speed: planning cadence, release discipline, on‑call, and the metrics to know whether it is working. ~ Experience in a high‑growth or private‑equity-backed environment, or integrating engineering teams from acquisitions. A management layer is in place: engineering managers or tech leads owning their areas, with clear scope and accountability. Engineering runs on a delivery rhythm the business can plan against — commitments are made and met, and slippage is visible early rather than at the deadline. AI is in real use inside engineering, with live use cases rather than pilots. Technical standards and architecture direction are written down, agreed, and actually followed. Founded in 2022, ValPay is already operating at scale: a PCI DSS Level 1 certified platform running across 40+ jurisdictions in North America, Europe, and Asia‑Pacific, serving vertical software platforms in dental, marine, property management, automotive, and more. Internal sales — converting existing Valsoft GMV to ValPay, a $15B+ opportunity across the current customer base plus every new Valsoft acquisition. M&A engine — acquiring payment gateway businesses, two closed so far, with the same conversion playbook applied to each newly acquired asset. Embedded payments inside a portfolio of 150+ vertical software companies is distribution most payments companies spend years trying to build. What decides how fast these engines scale is the engineering organization behind them — which is the mandate of this role. Pensée pour les entrepreneurs ambitieux qui souhaitent se consacrer à la croissance de leur entreprise plutôt qu’à la logistique nécessaire à son exploitation, ValPay aide les entreprises à prévenir la fraude, à accéder
