Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Priority is building a resilient, AI-native financial ecosystem and is seeking a Senior Manager of Engineering to lead multiple teams and develop other managers. This role involves ensuring consistent performance across teams, aligning business objectives, and driving AI-native transformation within the engineering organization.
Responsibilities
- Develop the Managers and Team Leads who report to you — they grow measurably because of you; managing other managers is a real craft you actively practice
- Directly manage engineers on at least one team yourself, with the same hiring, performance, and team-health expectations as a Manager, when scope calls for it
- Keep hiring and performance bars consistent across teams in your scope
- In partnership with your peers at this level in Product Design and Product Management, own the area's understanding of the customer, the business, and the OKRs and KPIs the area's teams are measured on; make sure those OKRs and KPIs ladder up coherently
- Set and hold the standard for business fluency across teams — the Managers and Team Leads under you carry the trio partnership with their Product Design and Product Management peers at team level the way you carry it at the multi-team level
- Align delivery across teams; sequence cross-team dependencies so the commitments those teams make to business partners, stakeholders, and customers hold
- Balance investment across teams against priority — not the loudest voice; consolidate duplicated effort
- Make sure delivery, quality, and reliability practices are consistent across teams — the slowest team gets help, not blame
- Lead during cross-team high-pressure moments — major incidents that span teams, multi-team escalations, critical multi-team deliveries — regardless of time of day, day of week, or weekend
- Make sure no team in your scope has a single-human point of failure — including at the leader level
- Root-cause systemic defect patterns across team boundaries; the same incident class doesn't recur in a second team
- Run the semi-annual Skills & Knowledge Assessment for the engineers you directly manage; oversee the Managers under you running it for their reports — scores roll up into the workstream EMM score
- Drive AI-native and Agentic PDLC adoption as a standard across teams; consolidate shared tooling friction into platform tasks backed by evidence
- Keep ADR (architecture decision record) practice the norm; respect and amplify the Staff+ engineers' architectural ownership across teams
- Develop the next generation of leaders — Team Leads who become Managers, Managers who become Senior Managers
Skills
- Roughly 10–15 years of relevant experience, with real experience managing managers — not just multi-team scope, but people-managing people-managers as an active craft
- A record of leading a full team well (hiring, performance, delivery, growth) and of developing other leaders who then led well themselves
- Hybrid leadership credibility — comfort managing other managers while also running a team directly, without favoring one mode and neglecting the other
- Multi-team coordination experience — shared standards and cross-team commitments that held under pressure
- Demonstrated partnership with Product and Design peers at multi-team scope as a real trio — joint ownership of area-level OKRs and KPIs
- Comfort and credibility leading through cross-team crises — multi-team outages, cross-functional escalations, critical multi-team deliveries — regardless of hour
- Coaching and delegation as demonstrated strengths — impact through others, not presence
- Experience driving engineering-practice change (AI-native, quality, delivery) consistently across multiple teams
- Honest, direct communication — willing to have hard conversations early at both the IC and the leader level
- Experience leading multi-team engineering organizations within fintech, payments, lending, or other regulated financial systems
- A track record of measurably improving how multiple teams work together at scale — visible gains in delivery, quality, developer experience, or on-call health, sustained past your tenure
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field — or equivalent practical experience
- Advanced degree in a relevant technical discipline (e.g., Master's or PhD)
