Engineering Manager

About the role:

The Engineering Manager will be part of the Product Engineering team, serving as a versatile leader to drive our product development. With our small team and ambitious goals, you'll have the opportunity to take on roles that range from technical architect and product manager to career coach and team facilitator. You’ll guide your team in defining, planning, and executing key initiatives that are crucial to the product's success. As we aim to rapidly scale our internal teams, and customer base, experience in scaling teams, along with both products and codebases will be essential. We're looking for someone who embraces an iterative approach, works with agility, and prioritizes the customer in their decision-making. You'll be part of a dynamic environment that fosters learning, growth, experimentation, and speed—empowering you to own your roadmap and take pride in the outcomes your team achieves.

What You'll Do:

• Drive successful launches of new products and initiatives - you enjoy taking an ambiguous business problem and picking the right solution as much as executing the implementation.
• Champion a culture of supportiveness, proactivity, reliability, independence, and efficiency within the engineering organization, promoting skill development and career growth opportunities for team members.
• Drive planning at the roadmap level down to the task level - adjusting based on business needs.
• Partner with recruiting and engineering leadership to establish a consistent and effective hiring pipeline and process to rapidly scale the team without sacrificing candidate quality.
• Though you may not code regularly, you're technically inclined and enjoy delving into details to understand the scope, identify technical challenges and solutions, and debug issues. 
• Product-oriented - you’ll strive to understand our customers and keep them at the center of the solutions you build.

 What You’ll Need:

• 6+ years of industry experience, preferably in a high-growth b2b fintech/startup environment.
• 3+ years of direct people management experience in leading and scaling engineering teams, providing mentorship, and fostering a collaborative environment.
• Consider the impact of your work on end users, driving you to deliver meaningful and impactful products.
• Proficient in Ruby on Rails (our primary backend language), CS fundamentals, along with mastery of OOP principles, React and Node JS. 
• Analytical problem solver who takes a collaborative approach to achieving goals.
• Communicate effortlessly with both engineers and non-engineers, excelling at explaining technical topics to business professionals and business strategies to engineering teams.
• Startup mentality, demonstrated ability to be resourceful and thrive in dynamic, rapidly evolving environments.

Compensation:

This role offers an annual base salary range of $180,000-$240,000.00 + equity + benefits. Actual compensation will be determined by various factors, including your skills and experience.
