This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager, Bank based in United States.
This role is a high-impact engineering leadership position focused on building the next generation of regulated financial infrastructure powering a modern lending and banking platform. You will lead engineering teams responsible for critical banking systems that underpin payments, funding, ledgering, reporting, and integrations within a highly regulated environment. The work sits at the intersection of product, compliance, and technology, requiring close collaboration with legal, risk, finance, and operations stakeholders. You will translate complex regulatory and business requirements into scalable, secure, and audit-ready technical systems. This is a rare opportunity to help design and evolve foundational banking infrastructure from an early stage rather than maintain legacy systems. The environment is fast-moving, mission-driven, and deeply focused on improving access to credit through technology.
Accountabilities:
- Lead and grow one or more engineering teams responsible for core banking platform domains such as payments, deposits, ledgering, reporting, and financial integrations.
- Define technical direction and contribute to architecture decisions for distributed systems that require high reliability, traceability, and auditability.
- Translate product, regulatory, compliance, risk, and operational requirements into clear technical plans and executable engineering roadmaps.
- Drive delivery across complex cross-functional initiatives, managing dependencies and improving predictability, quality, and execution consistency.
- Build and evolve engineering processes that support internal controls, audits, change management, and operational resilience in a regulated environment.
- Hire, mentor, and develop engineers and engineering leaders while fostering a culture of ownership, rigor, and continuous improvement.
- Partner closely with product, legal, compliance, finance, and operations teams to ensure alignment on priorities and outcomes.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3+ years in engineering management roles.
- Proven experience leading teams delivering complex, cross-functional platform or infrastructure systems at scale.
- Strong technical background in distributed systems, cloud platforms, and business-critical backend architectures.
- Experience operating in regulated environments requiring strong controls, auditability, security, and change management discipline.
- Hands-on involvement in system design and architectural decision-making for high-reliability platforms.
- Experience in fintech, banking, payments, lending, or other financial infrastructure domains is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to balance speed of execution with quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
- Strong leadership, communication, and organizational alignment skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package including base salary, performance-based bonus, and equity opportunities.
- Remote-first flexibility across the United States with periodic in-person team collaboration sessions.
- Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Retirement savings plan with employer contributions.
- Generous paid time off, parental leave, and family support policies.
- Annual wellness, learning, and professional development resources.
- Opportunity to build foundational financial infrastructure with significant real-world impact.
