Job description
The Role
We’re hiring our first dedicated Engineering Manager to help lead our engineering teams in NYC. This is a player-coach role: you’ll manage and grow a team of engineers while staying close enough to the code and the system design to earn the trust of the people you lead. We’re not looking for someone who manages from a distance — we’re looking for someone who’s done the work, still wants to be in the details when it matters, and gets energy from making other engineers better.
What you might work on
Data platform: Lead the team building the ingestion, transformation, and lineage infrastructure that gives accountants traceable, source-connected access to their financial data at any level of detail.
Reporting engine: Own delivery of the experience for flexibly defining, composing, and drilling into structured financial reports, from high-level projections down to individual transactions.
Accounting automation: Guide the team developing the core engine that brings structure to messy financial data, automating large swaths of manual work and turning accountants into engineers.
Workflow, AI, and user experience: Lead a team building complex, cyclical accounting workflows with dependency management, automation, and AI-native experiences — all wrapped in a product we take pride in making delightful to use.
You might be a fit if…
You’ve managed engineers before and you genuinely enjoy it. You take pride in developing people, building trust on teams, and making hard calls on people and priorities.
You still want to be technical. You can go deep on system design, review code and architecture decisions, and earn credibility with your team by being a good collaborator.
You find learning a new, complex domain to be an exciting challenge
You combine a commitment to high quality work with a desire to win and tackle ambitious goals
You want to help build the management function here: process, rituals, and bar-setting. You can balance scaling with pragmatism about the right amount of process for the stage of growth.
You care about good abstractions and about building good product.
What you need
6+ years of experience building software, including meaningful time as a hands-on engineer
2+ years directly managing engineers, with real ownership of hiring, performance, and team output
High motivation and agency
Bonus points for…
Experience managing teams in complex, technical domains
Fintech or accounting-adjacent/fintech experience
Experience founding a business, building products from scratch, or being an early engineering hire who grew into management
A track record in hiring
