You own the roadmap, the delivery, and the standards.\nOwn the API as a product. Land the V3 overhaul, our largest and most cross-dependent programme, while V2 stays supported. Ship client-facing API.\nBring onboarding in-house. Move the client onboarding experience off third-party tools onto OpenFX, and build the rules engine that replaces global policy with dynamic KYB and KYC requirements by jurisdiction and customer segment.\nExtend onboarding to new segments: self-serve signup through to first trade with no sales touch, enterprise (large entities, directors, UBO, bespoke verification), channel partners and platform-of-platforms, multi-product onboarding across banking and payments, and eventually agent-based customers.\nOwn the activation surface: digital signatures, in-product activation checklists, recovery and lifecycle client comms, and a self-serve notification centre.\nOwn the marketing site as a growth surface, partnering with Brand Design and the visual explainers that both generate market intelligence and give sales what they need to close.\nRun the product development process credibly. Take work from discovery through solution, design, and RFC validation into delivery and beta, own or assign RFCs, and hold the design-ready and delivery-ready gates so nothing enters a sprint half-shaped.\nManage a dependency-saturated roadmap. Compliance, Legal, Platform, Payments, Banking, Currencies, TPV, Client Trading, Brand Design, and GTM all sit on your critical path. Sequencing around them is a core part of the job, not an interruption to it.\nOwn the interface with GTM and Product: one intake for growth and sales requests, joint prioritisation with the Growth PM, and an expedite lane whose cost in displaced work is explicit rather than silently absorbed.\nStay hands-on. You review designs, and you still write and ship code, debug production, and set the implementation bar by example, including the standard for AI-assisted development.\nHold the bar where correctness is not optional: identity and KYC deduplication, idempotency on quote and trade paths, permission and compliance boundaries, money precision and rounding.\nHire and grow the team: close open roles, grow your team, run 30-60-90 ramps, set explicit performance expectations, and act on them early.\nRequirements:\nEM-level scope: 2 or more years managing a full team of 5 or more, with a Tech Lead or senior IC reporting in, on top of a strong individual contributor track record.\nStill writes code. You can design an API, model a schema, and produce idiomatic, runnable, tested code. Design fluency without hands-on ability is not enough at this level.\nExperience owning a public or partner-facing API as a product, including versioning and running an old and a new major version side by side.\nShipped client-facing product end to end, including the unglamorous parts: migrations, deprecations, and error states.\nHas delivered against Compliance and Legal as hard dependencies, not as a review step at the end. Onboarding at OpenFX is a compliance surface first and a product surface second.\nComfortable running a stage-gated product process: discovery, solution and design validation, RFC, delivery without letting it slow the team down or become box-ticking.\nCan take a one-line placeholder and turn it into shaped, sized, sequenced work. A large share of the forward roadmap is deliberately undefined.\nDemonstrated hiring and performance management, including at least one underperformance case you saw through to an outcome.\nHas worked directly with Product and a commercial or GTM function, and can say no with a reason that holds.\nHigh agency: operates with low oversight on ambiguous problems, in a demanding environment.\nCan articulate and enforce a correctness bar under commercial time pressure.\nWhat helps you stand out:\nFintech, payments, or another regulated domain where onboarding is a compliance surface.\nKYB and KYC in production, and replacing a vendor onboarding or verification workflow with an in-house build.\nJurisdiction-aware or segment-aware policy engines, where requirements are configuration rather than code branches.\nDeveloper experience work: API documentation, SDKs, sandbox environments, webhook delivery, or developer funnels.\nActivation and lifecycle engineering: in-product onboarding checklists, transactional and lifecycle comms, notification preferences.\nMarketing site or growth-experiment engineering in partnership with Brand Design.\nGrowth instrumentation and analytics tooling, and comfort reading a funnel yourself.\nOnboarding for enterprise entities (directors, UBO) or for channel partners and platform-of-platforms models.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4780,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":2,"team_size_min":5,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Payment Processing & Gateways","Currency Exchange & FX Payments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-09T09:22:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":34,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.856,"p_room":1,"age_days":50,"expected_fill_days":198,"reasons":["seen:50","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/openfx-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/openfx-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T05:22:21Z","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":7735,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":6134},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6134"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopenfx-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Fopenfx-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Fopenfx-engineering-manager"},{"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/openfx-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopenfx-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":565426}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"openfx.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":565426},"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.
