Preferred :

Ideal Candidate :

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

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

- You default to first principles when no documented solution exists

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

- You're 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

Role & Responsibilities :

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

You'll lead engineers while staying close to the technical core-owning architecture, modeling decisions, and execution quality in a domain where correctness matters as much as velocity.

Technical & Product Ownership :

- Build and evolve core platform features

- Design and ship APIs, services, and integrations that power billing automation, usage metering, invoicing, revenue recognition, and financial reporting.

- Model complex financial workflows

- Work deeply on pricing logic, proration, true-ups, multi-currency handling, approval workflows, and event-driven billing pipelines-where small decisions have long-term consequences.

- Make architectural trade-offs

- Balance "ship it now" against "live with it forever" while scaling systems that process high-volume usage data and real-time financial calculations.

- Stay technically fluent

- You won't write code every day, but you'll review PRs, catch subtle bugs, and guide design discussions with confidence.

Team Leadership & Management :

- Lead and grow the engineering team

- Mentor and manage engineers across experience levels, setting clear expectations and raising the bar on ownership, execution, and quality.

- Create high-output systems

- Establish clear problem definitions, focused execution cycles, code reviews that actually catch issues, and enough slack for engineers to think-not just ship.

- Debug team dynamics like software

- Observe signals, form hypotheses, intervene deliberately, and measure outcomes-whether the issue is delivery, alignment, or collaboration.

- Build the team intentionally

- Design interviews that surface real problem-solving ability, not just pattern matching. At this stage, every hire shifts the average.

Cross-Functional Collaboration :

- Work closely with Product, Finance, and Customer Success to translate real-world contract terms into correct, scalable systems

- Partner with stakeholders to solve ambiguous problems where requirements evolve and trade-offs are unavoidable

- Ensure systems remain accurate, auditable, and compliant as the product scales

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.
