Engineering Manager - Backend Architecture

Posted on: 16/01/2026

Job Description

Description :

Were looking for an Engineering Manager who treats engineering management as a systems problem, not a career milestone.

Youll lead engineers while staying close to the technical core owning architecture, modeling


Ideal Candidate :

- Must have 8+ years of engineering experience, with 3+ years leading teams or owning technical direction

- Youve built systems where the hardest part was correctly modeling messy, real-world business logic

- You default to first principles when no documented solution exists

- Youve grown engineers by giving them problems slightly beyond their comfort zone and supported them through productive struggle

- Youre energized by constraints, ambiguity, and unsolved problems

- Billing, fintech, or payments experience is a plus but curiosity and depth of thinking matter more than domain checkboxes

You Should Not Apply If :

- You need a fully defined problem before you can start working

- You moved into management to avoid technical complexity

- You optimize for process over outcomes

- You find edge cases annoying rather than interesting

Nice to Have :


- Experience with financial systems, billing platforms, or fintech applications


- Knowledge of SaaS business models and compliance frameworks


- API design and integration experience

- Prior experience working at a startup

- Not taking yourself too seriously.
