## About the role

Savvy is hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead three engineering teams building the platform where AI meets fiduciary advice. You'll inherit three established, high-performing teams, each anchored by a senior tech lead who owns day-to-day technical direction. Your job is to keep those teams shipping high-impact product and platform work, keep the engineers on them growing, and hold the technical and quality bar as we scale.

## What they're looking for

- Experience managing remote or distributed engineering teams
- 3+ years managing engineers, including owning delivery, performance, hiring, and growth for a team
- You use AI tools aggressively in your daily workflow: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and whatever else is useful. You're ahead of the curve on what's emerging, you stay technically proficient because of it, and you translate that into how your team builds
- A track record of shipping complex product and platform work end-to-end with measurable business impact, and holding the quality bar throughout
- Strong full-stack or platform engineering depth, enough to lead and review with credibility. We use Rails, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL, you're comfortable across the stack or close gaps fast
- Strong system-design judgment: data models, service boundaries, failure modes, and how systems hold up at scale, applied to guiding architecture and raising the team's instincts
