We’re looking for teammates based near our New York City or San Francisco offices, or open to relocating. Our hybrid schedule brings the team together on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day each week.

What You'll Do

• Lead an engineering team responsible for an important part of Rillet, across either customer-facing product or the systems and platforms behind it.
• Set direction across execution, technical decisions, hiring, and team development.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, and accounting experts to shape what we build and how we build it.
• Drive complex projects from early thinking through launch and iteration.
• Develop a team that includes senior and Staff-level engineers, helping strong ICs take on more scope and responsibility.
• Hire great engineers and build a team that moves quickly, takes ownership, and maintains a high bar.
• Stay close to the technical work and help shape how the broader engineering organization evolves as we grow.

Who We're Looking For

• 4+ years of engineering management experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or technology company, with experience leading teams through a period of rapid growth and a strong background as a software engineer.
• Experience leading a sizeable team that includes senior and Staff-level engineers.
• A track record of developing experienced engineers and helping them grow into larger technical and organizational roles.
• You’ve stayed technically close to the work and are comfortable getting into the codebase, debugging issues, reviewing architecture, and going deep with senior engineers when needed.
• Strong technical and product judgment, including knowing when to move quickly and when quality or long-term scalability requires more investment.
• You’re actively learning how AI is changing software development and thinking about how your team can use AI tools to move faster, improve quality, and spend more time on higher-value work.

Bonus Points

• Experience scaling or splitting engineering teams during periods of rapid growth.
• Experience leading both product-facing and platform-oriented engineering teams.
• Recent hands-on experience with Kotlin, Java, or TypeScript.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, observability, reliability, and modern software development practices.
• Experience building complex B2B or enterprise software where reliability, security, and scale matter.
• Background in fintech, ERP, accounting software, or other data-intensive products.
