Senior Engineering Manager - Remote

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers as both a hands-on technical mentor and strategic systems architect. This is a hybrid leadership role that blends deep engineering experience with an appetite for building high-functioning teams, developing technical strategy, and influencing the company’s approach to data-driven innovation.

In Short

• Drive the full software development lifecycle for high-impact, roadmap-aligned features.
• Translate complex product and system requirements into actionable, iterative engineering plans.
• Actively contribute code and architectural guidance while shaping team-wide best practices.
• Guide the team through ambiguity, shifting priorities, and new technical frontiers with calm and confidence.
• Own backend and service-level architecture decisions, ensuring extensibility, resiliency, and clear boundaries.
• Partner with our Data team and CTO to evolve our platform into a source of structured, high-quality data for AI model training, analysis, and operational intelligence.
• Improve observability, testability, and system health through clear design patterns and modern infrastructure practices.
• Bring clarity and rhythm to team execution. Identify blockers early and work cross-functionally to resolve them.
• Proactively communicate project status, risks, and outcomes, ensuring zero ambiguity across functions.
• Provide technical mentorship and career coaching that elevates individual performance and collective velocity.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including backend and full-stack systems.
• 5+ years in engineering management roles, preferably in high-growth SaaS or data-rich environments.
• Experience leading teams that build reliable, secure, and scalable systems using Python, TypeScript, Next.js, and AWS.
• Comfort working across streaming and batch ETL systems, event queues (e.g. RabbitMQ, SQS), and data-centric infrastructure.
• Strong architectural instincts; able to identify when to refactor, rewrite, or stabilize.
• Adept at managing trade-offs between speed and quality, complexity and flexibility.
• Deep understanding of system design, CI/CD, API lifecycle management, and observability best practices.
• You think and plan beyond the current sprint—architecting technical foundations that align with 12–18 month business goals.
• You can partner on company-level strategy, especially around data architecture, engineering org structure, and team predictability.
• You actively identify opportunities to reduce risk, enhance velocity, or increase system clarity before they become urgent.

Benefits

• High-ownership leadership role with meaningful influence across engineering and product.
• Remote-first flexibility with a collaborative team culture.
• Opportunity to scale with a mission-driven, AI-enabled platform serving real-world users.
• 100% Remote work (Work from wherever you want)
• Competitive USD salary
• Potential for equity grant in Finalis
• Generous Paid time-off (Vacation Time!)
• Additional 17 Flex Days (to use in national holidays or personal matters)
