Role Overview

We are looking for a highly skilled and mission-driven Engineering Manager to join Brigit’s engineering leadership team. Our financial health platform has tremendous traction in helping low-income Americans who struggle to make ends meet. In this role, you will lead high-performing engineering teams building critical products, platform integrations, and scalable financial systems.

You will work closely with a cross-functional team (Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists, and Business Operations) to ship innovative product experiences at scale—ranging from optimizing established core features to leading 0-to-1 initiatives. You’ll be responsible for bringing out the best in your engineers, mentoring talent, establishing efficient team processes, and creating an inclusive environment where people do their best work.

What you’ll be doing

Lead, empower, and grow a diverse team of software engineers across varying seniority levels through regular 1:1s, actionable feedback, and structured career planning.
Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Business counterparts to define product roadmaps, scope technical initiatives, and balance business priorities with engineering speed.
Drive technical execution across sprint planning, capacity allocation, and architectural oversight to ensure timely, reliable delivery.
Guide architectural decisions and evaluate technical design docs for complex systems, ensuring high standards for security, testability, monitoring, and scale.
Foster a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement, supporting both complex platform scaling and fast-paced 0-to-1 product builds.

What you have

8+ years of total software engineering experience, including 3+ years directly managing and mentoring engineering teams in high-growth environments.
Proven track record of building, shipping, and maintaining complex backend or platform architectures over multiple release cycles.
Experience leading teams through technical ambiguity, including leading greenfield (0-to-1) product builds or core platform transformations.
Strong cross-functional leadership skills with experience regularly collaborating with product managers, design leads, and business stakeholders.
Passion for fostering an inclusive, high-performing engineering culture.
Tech Stack: We primarily use Java running in GCP on the backend, and React Native on the mobile frontend. Experience with this stack is a plus, but strong engineering leadership fundamentals and architectural judgment matter most.
