About the role
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 6–12 software engineers across frontend, backend, and platform — fostering a culture of craft, accountability, and psychological safety.
- Own the engineering delivery pipeline: sprint planning, roadmap alignment, dependency mapping, and stakeholder communication — ensuring commitments are met without burning out the team.
- Partner closely with product, design, and data teams to translate complex financial workflows into well-scoped engineering problems, and back again into polished product experiences.
- Drive hiring decisions: sourcing, evaluating, and onboarding exceptional engineers who raise the bar for the entire team.
- Establish and champion engineering best practices — code review standards, testing culture, incident response, on-call health, and documentation quality.
- Identify and resolve bottlenecks in architecture, process, or team dynamics — escalating technical risk with clarity and proposing actionable paths forward.
- Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations that keep your engineers growing and engaged.
- Represent engineering in cross-functional leadership forums — bridging the gap between what's technically possible and what the business needs to move.
Requirements
- 8+ years in software engineering, with at least 2 years in an engineering management or tech lead role at a product-driven company.
- Hands-on background in backend or full-stack development — you understand tradeoffs in system design and can engage credibly in technical discussions.
- Track record of growing engineers, navigating performance challenges, and building teams that consistently ship quality software under pressure.
- Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment. You balance moving fast with building systems that scale — and you know when to do which.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication — from design docs to board updates, you tailor your message for every audience.
- Experience in fintech, capital markets, or enterprise SaaS. Familiarity with Java, TypeScript, or modern cloud-native stacks is a plus.
Benefits
- Remote-friendly flexibility with a high-performance, async-first culture
- Work from home set up
