A Little Bit About Us : You might know us from our founder and CEO, Dave Ramsey, who’s given no-nonsense money advice on the radio since 1992. Three decades later, Ramsey Solutions is a household name in personal finance, with a mission to change the toxic money culture for good.

Our Mission: Ramsey Solutions provides biblically based, commonsense education and empowerment that give HOPE to everyone in every walk of life.

• Health insurance (includes plans eligible for an HSA—with a company match up to $500!)

• Annual wellness, counseling and grocery membership reimbursement
• On-campus cafe with subsidized pricing for breakfast, lunch and coffee bar

• Tons of cultural activities, like weekly devotional, leadership development courses, Battle of the Bands, and one epic Christmas party!

Where and How You’d Work:

Ramsey Solutions Headquarters is located just outside of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. We value our strong, unified company culture because we believe the best work is done together. That’s why all of our team members work on-site under the same roof. But work-life balance is also important to us, so we offer flexible work schedules to take the stress out of appointments, family obligations and other needs that may pop up.

While every team member has a designated workspace (with an electronic sit-stand desk), our campus was designed to house a variety of unique work and play zones (e.g., quiet library space, coffee bar/lounge areas, recreational game zone, and outside/patio work and break areas).

What You’d Do in This Role:

We’re seeking a technically exceptional, mission-driven Software Engineering Manager to lead from the front—building world-class solutions that advance our mission of creating digital products that bring hope to every walk of life. This is a player/coach role for a proven engineer who sets the tone through excellence in the code and ownership in execution.

You’ll tackle complex technical challenges, mentor and elevate other engineers, and proactively drive business impact through thoughtful, scalable technology solutions. We’re looking for a builder who leads with credibility, a positive and solutions-oriented mindset, and a relentless focus on delivering meaningful results.

You’re Probably a Match If:

• You have progressed through hands-on software engineering roles, developing strong technical depth and earning influence through demonstrated engineering excellence.
• You have 1+ years of leadership experience—either formally managing engineers or providing consistent mentorship and technical leadership.
• You operate at a Senior Developer level or higher, with a track record of delivering complex, production-grade systems.
• You bring full-stack development experience, with strength in either backend or frontend and working knowledge across the stack.
• You design scalable, maintainable systems and make sound architectural and tradeoff decisions.
• You take ownership of major technical initiatives from discovery through delivery and ongoing support.
• You effectively partner across the business, translating business needs into high-impact technical solutions.
• You balance hands-on technical contribution with team leadership in a player/coach capacity and communicate technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What Winning Looks Like:

• Lead, mentor, and develop engineers, fostering a high-trust, high-performance culture across multiple teams.
• Drive organizational alignment between engineering strategy and company objectives, ensuring technical investments support long-term business outcomes.
• Partner with executive Product, Design, and Business leaders to shape roadmaps, define priorities, and deliver measurable results.
• Establish and evolve technical standards, architecture strategy, and engineering best practices to ensure scalability, resilience, and long-term system health.
• Oversee delivery execution, improving flow, predictability, and quality while removing systemic impediments.
• Develop team strategy, including hiring, performance management, succession planning, and leadership development.
• Use data and operational metrics to evaluate organizational health, delivery performance, and strategic effectiveness.
• Proactively identify risks and tradeoffs at the portfolio level, ensuring transparency and strong cross-functional alignment.

Other Stuff to Know:

We’re looking for people who are passionate about our mission. This isn’t just a J-O-B. We experience resistance every day because what we believe is absolutely countercultural. We actually hate debt. We actually cut up our credit cards . . . like, for real. Some of us are still fighting our way out of debt, but we aren’t going back.
