Engineering Manager

Join us in building a better financial system. Wealthfront is continuing to grow and needs managers who are excited to lead talented teams of engineers to improve and expand our products, while maintaining a commitment to high engineering quality standards. Engineering managers at Wealthfront have a solid background as hands-on engineers and have realized that they can have more impact through their organizations. The largest impact you will have will be through identifying, developing, and coaching “whole engineers” who take ownership of their projects. With guidance from you, the engineers on your team will take full responsibility for their work, which may include working with cross functional stakeholders directly, authoring their own engineering designs, performing and overseeing their implementations, and taking full responsibility for their code running in production. Along the way, you will also help us develop the engineering organization, taking a first principles approach to problems like hiring, performance reviews and project management.

• A Cash Account that, through our partner banks, offers one of the highest annual percentage yields on uninvested cash in the industry, while providing instant and secure access to your money with no account fees and a full suite of checking features.
