Founded in 2012 and recognized repeatedly by the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500, we've grown through five strategic acquisitions - and are now backed by a 2026 majority growth investment from Bregal Sagemount to accelerate product, AI, and customer experience. We're a passionate team making compliance simpler and smarter for every organization we serve.\nThe Engineering Manager leads a team of software engineers building Harbor’s next-generation compliance platform. This is a player-coach role: you will ship code, build proofs of concept, and review code in the details, while owning predictable delivery, service reliability, and team growth. You will translate product priorities into executable technical plans, guide architecture and AI-assisted workflows, and develop a mature, high-ownership team. The work includes a massive agentic orchestration layer and an evergreen data problem, and it will reach tens of thousands of organizations from day one.\nResponsibilities\nLead a team of engineers building Harbor’s next-generation platform in TypeScript and Go, including a large-scale agentic orchestration layer and a complex, evergreen data problem.\nShip code. Build proofs of concept, contribute to the codebase, and review code in the details alongside your team.\nDrive delivery of team commitments by planning, scoping, and unblocking work, giving engineers ownership and trusting them to run with it.\nCoach, mentor, and manage engineers through regular feedback, clear expectations, and performance management, including lifting up struggling performers and managing out when needed.\nHire and develop high-caliber engineers, and create growth paths for internal talent.\nShape how the team builds with AI, including agentic coding tools and harnesses, and drive adoption across your team.\nOwn the reliability and quality of your team’s systems, including incident response and postmortems.\nPartner with Product, Operations, and other engineering leaders to align priorities and resolve trade-offs, and manage distributed team members who work asynchronously (including in Prague).\nRequirements\nAbout 1+ year of people management experience in an engineering organization, with a clear philosophy of leadership and management and concrete examples of applying that philosophy.\nHands-on engineering depth with modern languages (TypeScript, Go, or similar), and the polyglot appetite to pick up new languages, stacks, and legacy code (PHP) as the problem demands.\nActive use of agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar)\nComfort managing engineers who may be more senior or higher paid than you, such as staff-level individual contributors.\nStrong passion for building and ongoing learning, with a habit of staying current on how technology and AI are evolving.\nBased in the U.S. with availability aligned to Eastern core business hours (9a-5p). West Coast candidates should expect some early mornings when managing team members in other time zones.\nPreferred Skills\nExperience with modern database technology (such as SurrealDB) and distributed systems.\nExperience leading agentic transformation of existing code.\nExperience managing distributed teams in different time zones, including asynchronous collaboration.\nAccommodations:\nHarbor Compliance is committed to providing any reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities within our application and interview process. To request an accommodation due to a disability, please inform your recruiter.\nCompensation:\nHarbor Compliance’s base salary range for this role is listed below. Compensation at the time of offer is based on factors such as skill set, experience, qualifications, and work location. Salary is one part of Harbor Compliance’s total compensation package. Other benefits may include health benefits, flexible paid time off, parental leave, fertility and adoption assistance, 401(k), and educational reimbursement. Note that the salary range and benefits apply only to U.S.-based candidates.\nPay Transparency Policy Statement\nHarbor Compliance will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant. However, employees who have access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of their essential job functions cannot disclose the pay of other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to compensation information, unless the disclosure is (a) in response to a formal complaint or charge, (b) in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by Harbor Compliance, or (c) consistent with Harbor Compliance’s legal duty to furnish information.\nEqual Opportunity Statement\nHarbor Compliance is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition, or any other basis protected by law.\nNotice Regarding the Use of Selection Technology\nHarbor Compliance uses third-party automated tools and skills assessments (such as Testlify and Rippling) to help evaluate job applications and streamline our hiring workflow. These tools assist our recruitment team in reviewing qualification trends and scheduling, but all final employment decisions are made solely by humans on our Talent Success team, and all tools are subject to human oversight.\nDepending on your location, local laws may grant you specific disclosure rights or the option to request an alternative evaluation process. If you require a reasonable accommodation or wish to opt out of automated assessment steps due to regional regulations, please notify your recruiter. Opting out will not negatively impact your application.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6205,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Security Compliance","RegTech, AML & Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T22:30:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T23:30:21Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/harbor-compliance-manager-software-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/harbor-compliance-manager-software-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T23:30:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2097,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673747},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673747"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fharbor-compliance-manager-software-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fharbor-compliance-manager-software-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fharbor-compliance-manager-software-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/harbor-compliance-manager-software-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fharbor-compliance-manager-software-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4042033}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"harborcompliance.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4042033},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
