Engineering Manager – Backend / Full-Stack
About Us
We're a fast-growing, well-funded fintech building AI-powered lending products for underserved customers across emerging markets. Operating as a regulated digital lending institution in India, we use alternative data and machine learning to bring fast, fair credit to people the traditional financial system has left out. We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a team of backend/full-stack engineers building and operating production systems at real scale. You'll own delivery end to end — from technical strategy through execution — while staying hands-on enough to review code, unblock your team, and contribute when it matters. This is a role for someone who wants to keep growing as both a technical leader and a people leader, in a company that's genuinely figuring out how to use AI well, not just talking about it.
What You'll Do
Lead a team of engineers building and operating production systems — owning delivery, quality, and cost. Shape technical strategy in collaboration with your team and other leaders, balancing long-term architecture with near-term pragmatism. Drive projects end to end: scoping, sequencing, estimation, execution, and post-launch ownership. Set the engineering bar for your team — code review culture, testing discipline, observability, security, and responsible AI use. Hire, develop, and retain strong engineers; give them work that stretches them and feedback that lands. Set a clear technical direction and help your team understand not just what you're building, but why. Represent your team's work through clear written updates and well-run forums. Help define what "good" AI-assisted engineering looks like on your team — and coach others toward it. What We're Looking For 6–9 years of experience building production software, including roughly 2+ years directly managing engineers (not just a tech lead role). A track record of shipping non-trivial systems end to end and operating them in production at meaningful scale. Real, hands-on experience using AI tools to improve how you and your team build software — you can speak to what works, what doesn't, and why, with genuine enthusiasm. Experience hiring engineers and raising a team's bar over time, including handling underperformance. Clear, structured written and verbal communication — comfortable working async with a distributed team.
Nice to Have
Experience in fintech, lending, payments, KYC, or credit underwriting. Familiarity with Ruby on Rails — or strong backend fundamentals in Java, Python, or Node.js with the appetite to ramp up quickly. Experience working across systems of meaningfully different scale or complexity. Prior experience at both smaller, fast-moving teams and larger, process-mature organizations. Compensation & Benefits competitive compensation, plus equity. 100% remote — work from anywhere in India. Fully paid group medical and personal accident insurance. Generous paid time off plus public holidays. Fully paid parental leave: 12 weeks for fathers/non-birthing parents, 26 weeks statutory maternity leave. Monthly WFH stipend plus a one-time home office setup budget. $500 annual professional development budget. Quarterly social meet-ups and sponsored monthly team lunches. If you're an engineer who's grown into management, still loves being close to the code, and wants to help shape how a fintech team uses AI to build better and faster — we'd love to hear from you.
