About the role
We're hiring an Engineering Manager to own one of our most critical product domains — a complex, regulated, high-stakes backend that sits at the heart of our fintech platform. This is the kind of domain where reliability, correctness, and scale all matter equally, and where the engineering decisions you make have direct business consequences.
What they're looking for
- Multi-vendor orchestration: The same user journeys run across multiple external partners with different APIs, SLAs, and failure modes. Keeping this reliable and debuggable is genuinely hard
- Regulated complexity: Compliance-mandated flows, deduplication, and third-party verification checks aren't optional. Your systems need to be both correct and auditable under regulatory scrutiny
- Scale without rewrite: We need to go from where we are to 10x the load without a greenfield rebuild. That means thoughtful incremental improvements, not big-bang migrations
- 3+ years managing backend engineering teams directly — you've hired, grown, and occasionally had hard conversations with engineers
- Strong backend engineering depth — you can read a distributed systems design and find the flaw, even if you're not writing the code day-to-day
- Track record of improving team reliability and delivery — not just shipping features, but making the team better at shipping them

Role Overview
We're hiring an Engineering Manager to own one of our most critical product domains — a complex, regulated, high-stakes backend that sits at the heart of our fintech platform. This is the kind of domain where reliability, correctness, and scale all matter equally, and where the engineering decisions you make have direct business consequences.
You'll be joining at an inflection point — we have a working product with real traction, and the next chapter is about building the engineering foundations that let us grow 10x without breaking.
What you'll own
You'll lead a team of 5–10 backend engineers, with scope to grow. This isn't a reporting role — you'll be deeply involved in technical direction, hiring, and making the team measurably better every quarter.
