Engineering Manager

Roles & ResponsibilitiesWe’re looking for an Engineering Manager who treats engineering management as a systems problem, not a career milestone.You’ll lead engineers while staying close to the technical core—owning architecture, modeling decisions, and execution quality in a domain where correctness matters as much as velocity.Technical & Product OwnershipBuild and evolve core platform featuresDesign and ship APIs, services, and integrations that power billing automation, usage metering, invoicing, revenue recognition, and financial reporting.Model complex financial workflowsWork deeply on pricing logic, proration, true-ups, multi-currency handling, approval workflows, and event-driven billing pipelines—where small decisions have long-term consequences.Make architectural trade-offsBalance “ship it now” against “live with it forever” while scaling systems that process high-volume usage data and real-time financial calculations.Stay technically fluentYou won’t write code every day, but you’ll review PRs, catch subtle bugs, and guide design discussions with confidence.Team Leadership & ManagementLead and grow the engineering teamMentor and manage engineers across experience levels, setting clear expectations and raising the bar on ownership, execution, and quality.Create high-output systemsEstablish clear problem definitions, focused execution cycles, code reviews that actually catch issues, and enough slack for engineers to think—not just ship.Debug team dynamics like softwareObserve signals, form hypotheses, intervene deliberately, and measure outcomes—whether the issue is delivery, alignment, or collaboration.Build the team intentionallyDesign interviews that surface real problem-solving ability, not just pattern matching.
