• Must be from Product Companies / Startups (early to growth stage), B2B SaaS + Fintech industry is highly preferred
• This role will be 80% team management and 20% IC (hands on coding required)

Preferred:

• Tier 1 engineering college

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

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

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.

Perks, Benefits and Work Culture:

• Variable: Based on performance
• ESOPs (for full time roles)
• Remote (USA)

Benefits (for full-time roles):

• Health insurance
• Generous vacation policy
• Learning and development budget
• Team events and company offsites
• Maternity and Paternity benefits
• Company Laptop
• Friday game nights
