Roles & Responsibilities:

Were looking for an Engineering Manager who treats engineering management as a systems problem, not a career milestone.

Youll lead engineers while staying close to the technical coreowning architecture, modeling decisions, and execution quality in a domain where correctness matters as much as velocity.

Technical & Product Ownership:

- Build and evolve core platform features.

- Design and ship APIs, services, and integrations that power billing automation, usage metering, invoicing, revenue recognition, and financial reporting.

- Model complex financial workflows.

- Work deeply on pricing logic, proration, true-ups, multi-currency handling, approval workflows, and event-driven billing pipelineswhere small decisions have long-term consequences.

- Make architectural trade-offs.

- Balance ship it now against live with it forever while scaling systems that process high-volume usage data and real-time financial calculations.

- Stay technically fluent.

- You wont write code every day, but youll review PRs, catch subtle bugs, and guide design discussions with confidence.

Team Leadership & Management:

- Lead and grow the engineering team.

- Mentor and manage engineers across experience levels, setting clear expectations and raising the bar on ownership, execution, and quality.

- Create high-output systems.

- Establish clear problem definitions, focused execution cycles, code reviews that actually catch issues, and enough slack for engineers to thinknot just ship.

- Debug team dynamics like software.

- Observe signals, form hypotheses, intervene deliberately, and measure outcomeswhether the issue is delivery, alignment, or collaboration.

- Build the team intentionally.

- Design interviews that surface real problem-solving ability, not just pattern matching. At this stage, every hire shifts the average.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

- Work closely with Product, Finance, and Customer Success to translate real-world contract terms into correct, scalable systems.

- Partner with stakeholders to solve ambiguous problems where requirements evolve and trade-offs are unavoidable.

- Ensure systems remain accurate, auditable, and compliant as the product scales.

Ideal Candidate:

- Must have minimum 8+ years of overall Software Engineering / Development experience with a strong IC foundation.

- Must have 2+ years of formal Engineering Manager experience with direct people-management responsibility.

- Must have directly managed 46+ engineers, including 1:1s, performance management, growth plans, promotions, mentoring, and team development.

- Must own technical direction and delivery for an engineering team/pod, including architecture, system design, code/PR reviews, execution planning, and engineering quality.

- Must have strong backend/software engineering experience with hands-on technical depth in building APIs, services, integrations, and scalable systems.

- Must have experience owning production operations, including on-call, incident management, debugging, and postmortems for their area.

- Must have experience driving cross-functional alignment with Product and Design and translating ambiguous business/product requirements into scalable technical solutions.

- Must be from a Product Company / Startup, particularly B2B SaaS, Fintech, Payments, or similar technology product environments.

- Role is 80% people/team management and 20% technical/IC involvement.

- Tier 1 engineering college preferred.
