PRINCIPAL, TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING

Engineering Manager
This role is open to remote or hybrid candidates (East Coast preference), with hybrid being central to our New York, NY or Charlotte area offices. In this role, you will lead a small engineering team as a hands-on player-coach — owning the team's delivery and health, developing the engineers on it, and still contributing directly to the codebase where it adds the most leverage. Engineering Managers turn roadmaps into shipped software through the people they lead, balancing people leadership, delivery management, and personal technical contribution in a deliberately lean, AI-forward environment. Engineering Managers are the connective tissue between strategy and execution. They build healthy, high-performing teams that ship reliable, money-touching software; and they multiply their team's output by staying close enough to the work to unblock it, hold the quality bar, and model strong engineering practice.
Lead a team of 2–4 engineers (junior through senior), owning their day-to-day management, growth, and performance.
Own sprint-to-sprint delivery — planning, prioritization, sequencing, and honest communication of scope, timeline, and risk.
Manage individual performance and development through regular 1:1s, actionable feedback, career growth conversations, and the harder conversations when they're needed.
Contribute hands-on to the codebase where it adds the most leverage — typically the ambiguous, load-bearing, or unblocking work — while deliberately leaving well-scoped growth opportunities to the team.
Partner with Product, Design, and peer engineering teams to align on priorities, resolve dependencies, and translate business goals into deliverable work.
Own team health and operational quality, including on-call, incident response, and a real quality and compliance bar in a regulated, money-touching domain.
Champion high-leverage, AI-forward ways of working that raise the team's throughput without compromising quality.
Experience leading and managing a small engineering team, or a technical lead / player-coach ready to formalize into people management.
Still technically hands-on and credible — able to review, contribute to, and make sound decisions within a modern TypeScript codebase.
Strong people-leadership skills: coaching, feedback, performance management, and developing engineers across levels.
Solid delivery management: decomposing work, sequencing, managing dependencies and risk, and communicating status honestly.
Remains hands-on within our primarily TypeScript-based stack spanning API services and full-stack web applications.
Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS), infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD automation.
upholds operational and quality standards for a regulated, money-touching product.
Fluent with AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or Microsoft Copilot, and able to use them to raise team throughput and reduce toil while holding the review and quality bar.
