About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and develop multiple teams of engineers across a wide seniority range, supporting their growth, performance, and career direction.
  • Lead blended teams of contractors and full-time staff, keeping each group focused, healthy, and productive.
  • Lead the teams through change — including driving AI tool adoption and challenging engineers to adapt how they work.
  • Set and defend direction on technical debt and platform investment, balancing long-term health against delivery pressure.
  • Act as a sounding board for tech leads — pressure-test their thinking and challenge over-engineering or over-thinking before it costs the teams time.
  • Partner with Product Owners and tech leads to keep delivery aligned, realistic, and well-prioritized.
  • Manage stakeholder relationships, communicating team capacity, progress, and trade-offs clearly.
  • Recruit and retain strong engineers, and build teams people want to work on.

Skills & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent industry experience.
  • Proven experience managing software engineers, including senior engineers and a mix of contractors and full-time staff.
  • Experience delivering software in a regulated, security-conscious environment such as payments or financial services (familiarity with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, or CCPA is an advantage).
  • A track record of leading teams through change, including adopting new tools and ways of working.
  • Enough technical depth to credibly challenge architecture and engineering decisions — though this is not a coding or code-review role.
  • A track record of leading through influence: guiding tech leads and POs rather than directing the work yourself.
  • Experience working with remote and globally distributed teams.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary + bonus
  • Remote first culture
  • Flex PTO
  • Health, Dental and Vision Insurance
