The Engineering Manager will lead and grow an engineering team while partnering with product to deliver the roadmap, contributing code, and maintaining reliable, auditable systems for money movement.\n\nResponsibilities\nPartner with our product manager to deliver the roadmap on time: know your team's real capacity and scope projects accurately, so the roadmap reflects what you can ship well, and flag risks before they become slips\nSpend about half your time shipping: take on hard features, review pull requests, and set the bar for testing, observability and code quality by example\nOwn correctness and reliability for money movement: idempotency, reconciliation, incident response and on-call, so every transaction is accounted for and outages are rare and short\nBuild a team engineers want to work and grow in, with a culture of trust and high ownership, regular, direct feedback and a growth plan for every person\nBuild an engineering practice that scales: set how we build and ship, make security part of everyday work, and manage tooling, vendors and cloud costs in partnership with ops\nGrow your team with the founder and recruiting: shape the hiring plan for your area, run a structured interview loop, close strong candidates, and help new engineers ship to production in their first week\n\nSkills\n7+ years as a software engineer and engineering manager in payments or fintech, including time directly managing engineers who shipped production systems that move real money\nDeep knowledge of how money moves in software: ledgers, idempotency, reconciliation, card and bank rails, and the compliance constraints (PCI, KYC) that shape system design\nYou still want to be a hands-on engineer: you love writing production backend code, reason clearly about distributed systems and data consistency, and earn your team's trust in design and code review\nFluent in AI: you use coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor daily, keep up with the latest models and tooling, and experiment with what helps the team build a better product without letting quality slip\nA record of executional excellence at startup pace: you've shipped roadmaps on time with a product partner, cut scope without cutting quality, and say plainly when something will slip\nYou grow people: you've hired strong engineers, given hard feedback with care, built career paths, and seen engineers you managed earn promotions\nYou've managed engineers at a Series A or earlier startup, or built agent, stablecoin or machine-to-machine payment systems\n\nCompany Overview\nPayments infrastructure for AI agents.
