Engineering Manager at Ambrook

Company Description: Ambrook - Series A fintech backed by Thrive Capital and Figma's Dylan Field

Job Description: As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of 4-5 high-performing engineers building modern financial tools for the American agricultural industry. Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you will own the full employee lifecycle, influence product roadmaps, and define how a best-in-class team operates using pragmatic, AI-native workflows.

Why This Role Is Remarkable:

• Direct impact on the real economy by providing financial clarity to independent farmers, ranchers, and industrial operators who are the backbone of America.
• High-growth Series A environment backed by top-tier investors including Thrive Capital, BoxGroup, and Homebrew, during a pivotal expansion phase beyond agriculture.
• Mentorship from Head of Engineering Tom Woolway, who brings two decades of experience scaling massive engineering organizations at Twitter and Chainalysis.

What You Will Do:

• Own the full employee lifecycle for a significant portion of the engineering team, including hiring senior ICs, coaching, and performance management.
• Collaborate deeply with Product and Design leadership to shape the technical roadmap and balance technical debt with rapid feature delivery.
• Lead the team in adopting AI-native engineering practices, ensuring high architectural integrity while leveraging modern tools to solve complex data problems.

The Ideal Candidate:

• 2–5+ years of dedicated engineering management experience at high-growth startups (Series A–D) with a strong foundation as a former high-performing IC.
• Proven track record of building and scaling engineering teams, with a preference for management as a craft rather than being a tech lead manager.
• Pragmatic, product-minded approach with experience in (or passion for) fintech, agriculture, or building tools that simplify complex, messy real-world data.
