Engineering Manager

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 6–12 software engineers across frontend, backend, and platform, while promoting a culture of craftsmanship, accountability, and psychological safety.

• Take ownership of the engineering delivery pipeline, including sprint planning, roadmap alignment, dependency mapping, and stakeholder communication, to ensure commitments are fulfilled without exhausting the team.

• Collaborate closely with product, design, and data teams to convert intricate financial workflows into well-defined engineering challenges, and then translate them back into refined product experiences.

• Drive the hiring process: sourcing, assessing, and onboarding outstanding engineers who elevate the team's overall performance.

• Establish and advocate for engineering best practices, including code review standards, testing culture, incident response, on-call health, and documentation quality.

• Identify and address bottlenecks in architecture, processes, or team dynamics, while clearly escalating technical risks and proposing actionable solutions.

• Proven history of developing engineers, managing performance challenges, and building teams that consistently deliver quality software under pressure.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment, with the ability to balance rapid execution with the development of scalable systems, knowing when to prioritize each.

• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills — from design documents to board updates, tailoring your message for each audience.
