About

is building the digital and financial infrastructure for millions of underserved merchants.

We operate at the intersection of payments, credit, software, and commerce. As we scale toward serving 1M+ merchants, our engineering organization must evolve from fast-moving startup to disciplined, high-scale platform company, without losing speed.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager who still thinks like a builder.

The Mission

Own a squad end-to-end. Drive execution without sacrificing architecture. Raise the bar on both velocity and engineering depth.

This is not a coordination role. This is a leadership role with hands-on technical credibility.

What You Will Do

• Lead a cross-functional squad (engineering + product alignment)

• Translate business outcomes into strong technical execution plans

• Drive realistic commitments and intelligent pushback when needed

• Ensure system design rigor before implementation

• Mentor engineers and grow future senior talent

• Improve sprint predictability and flow efficiency

• Partner closely with architecture and platform teams to ensure scalable solutions

• Foster a culture of ownership, curiosity, and high standards

You will be accountable not just for delivery, but for how delivery happens.

What We’re Looking For

• 12+ years of experience in software engineering, with prior experience as an EM or Tech Lead managing teams

• Strong backend system design experience (distributed systems, APIs, data modeling, reliability patterns)

• Ability to review and challenge architectural decisions

• Experience delivering production-grade systems at scale

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

• Ability to balance speed with long-term maintainability

You should be equally comfortable:

• Reviewing a pull request
• Debating architecture trade-offs
• Coaching a mid-level engineer
• Pushing back on unrealistic timelines

• Translating product ambition into engineering reality

Bonus Points

• Experience in fintech or high-transaction environments

• Experience scaling teams during high-growth phases

• Exposure to AI-augmented development workflows

What Makes This Role Different

In many organizations, Engineering Managers drift away from engineering. Here, we expect you to remain technically sharp.

We value leaders who:

• Understand system design deeply
• Can spot scaling risks early
• Care about developer experience
• Raise standards quietly and consistently

This role is for someone who wants to build both systems and people.

If you have hunger, care about craftsmanship, and want to build infrastructure that impacts millions, this role is for you.
