About the role
We’re looking for a passionate, entrepreneurial Engineering Manager to help us scale our product architecture and elevate our engineering execution. As Kin continues to grow, we’re evolving from monolithic systems toward distributed, modular services — and we need a hands-on leader who can guide that transformation while delivering customer-facing innovation.
What they're looking for
- Minimum 8 years of hands-on software development experience with strong computer science fundamentals
- Proven experience managing or leading a team of engineers in a fast-paced environment
- Demonstrated success acting as a player-coach who contributes meaningfully to the codebase
- Experience building distributed systems and decomposing monoliths into modular services
- Hands-on experience with API-first and schema-first workflows (OpenAPI/Swagger, contract testing, interface-driven development)
- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases, message queues/brokers, and distributed system design patterns
