Engineering Manager

About the role:

We want an Engineering Manager who thrives as a technical leader first, with the ability to guide, mentor, and manage a team of 8- 10 engineers. You'll spend a significant portion of your time designing and coding, while also driving execution, setting best practices, and developing your team.

Role & responsibilities

- Own end-to-end architecture of critical systems : multi-tenant SaaS workflows, APIs, and distributed services.

- Lead and mentor a team of ~8- 10 engineers, balancing technical depth with people growth.

- Remain hands-on writing high-quality code, reviewing PRs, and solving hard engineering problems.

- Collaborate with AI/ML engineers to integrate LLM-powered modules (document intelligence, credit analysis, borrower/lender agents) into production systems. - Drive engineering excellence: code quality, testing, CI/CD, observability, and fault tolerance.

- Scale systems to support high-throughput financial workflows with zero downtime.

- Act as a multiplier, upskill engineers, instill best practices, and raise the overall technical bar.

Preferred candidate profile

6-10 years of software engineering experience, including leading small-to-mid sized teams (6- 12 engineers).

- Exceptional coding and architecture skills in Java (Spring Boot); experience with Python/Go a plus.

- Strong background in distributed systems, event-driven architectures (Kafka/Kinesis), and cloud-native platforms (AWS).

- Skilled in system design, database design (SQL + NoSQL), and building resilient, multi-tenant SaaS systems.

- Exposure to LLM/AI integrations, vector databases (OpenSearch, Pinecone, Weaviate), or eagerness to learn quickly.

- Proven ability to mentor engineers and set technical direction while staying deeply hands-on.

- Hunger to learn, experiment, and drive impact in a fast-paced fintech environment.
