Manage engineering team, drive technical direction, compliance, and ship code in AI infrastructure for financial institutions.

As the Engineering Manager , you'll:
Set KPIs, 1-1s, performance reviews, and clear metrics for the entire engineering team. Run the team day to day with the CTO. 1:1s, growth, performance, and the weekly cadence.
Partner on technical direction. Lead the calls in your scope. Push back on the ones that aren't.
Drive our compliance programs forward. SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS, and enterprise security questionnaires.
Co-own incident response and on-call. Bring the rigor to a regulated, real-time product demands.
We do not want only a manager; we want an excellent individual contributor who ships code across tooling, dashboards, capacity models, and on-call ergonomics.
We expect you to recruit and bring top talent.

You've led engineering teams through early hypergrowth and have a clear sense of stories about what worked and what didn't.
You've scaled a team meaningfully. Took 5 to 15, or 10 to 25, and can talk to us about how you did it.
You earn the team's respect by being an excellent IC. You can hold your own in systems discussions with senior engineers.
You've run or been close to a compliance program. SOC 2, PCI, ISO 27001, or similar.
You have helped people to develop their careers. You can name specific people you've grown. Not "I built a great team." A specific person, what they were like before, what they were like after, what you actually did.
You write and think clearly. We're a written-culture company.
You've been through the early stages of a startup before. You've felt the chaos and the pace and you want it again.

Meaningful equity: Own a piece of a company that is compounding rapidly.
Competitive cash compensation: Pay that reflects the high bar we set for this role.
High-impact environment: A small, elite team where you will be proud of the people you lead.
Real traction. Post $XXM in revenue, Fortune 500 customers, 12x YoY growth last year.
AI-first company with $1M+ revenue per employee.
Early enough to shape the product, the team, and the culture, and become a key leader in the company. You will work hand in hand with the founders.

AI agents that handle millions of live interactions every day for Fortune 500 banks and insurers, end-to-end. Interactions are 3x-ing monthly.

We enjoy hard problems: We ship things that work in production for customers who cannot tolerate any downtime.
We are a written-culture company: We value clear thinking and clear writing as the foundation of our collaboration.
Rigor and accountability: We co-own incident response and bring the level of discipline required for a real-time, regulated product.
