ABOUT ROCKET MONEY🔮

Rocket Money’s mission is to empower people to live their best financial lives. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.

ABOUT THE TEAM 🤝

The Account Linking team helps Rocket Money members see their finances clearly and confidently. We build and maintain the integrations that connect our members’ financial accounts, providing reliable access to accurate, up-to-date balances, transactions, and other financial data. Our platform provides the foundation of data that enables Rocket Money to help our members understand and manage their finances.

If you’re the kind of leader who gets excited about turning complex integrations into dependable experiences for millions of people, you could be a great fit for Account Linking. We’re looking for a technically engaged, empathetic leader to grow our engineers, shape our technical direction, and build strong partnerships—helping our members trust that their financial picture is complete and current.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL:

• Lead a small team that has a direct impact on our business. You’ll:

• Be the face of Account Linking. Be an advocate and ambassador for Account Linking, and foster strong working relationships with other engineering leaders, product managers, and operations team members. Drive collaboration, communicate capabilities and constraints, and help teams use financial account data effectively to unlock innovation for our users, team members, and business.
• Set the technical direction. Work with the team to guide architectural decisions and identify investments that unlock new capabilities and keep our platform scalable and maintainable. Establish a clear direction for how our systems should evolve.
• Champion reliability and data quality. Define how we measure the health of account connections and the completeness, accuracy, and freshness of financial data. Lead improvements in monitoring, incident response, and root-cause analysis to prevent recurring issues and build trust in the data our members and partner teams rely on.
• Drive delivery. Own delivery of the team’s commitments and drive execution of a quarterly roadmap that balances new capabilities, reliability, and long-term system health. Make decisions, clear blockers, communicate progress and risks, and work with Product to adjust priorities when necessary.
• Stay close to the work. Stay technically engaged through RFCs, code reviews, and collaborative problem-solving. Help engineers evaluate tradeoffs and unblock implementation while empowering them to own execution. Explore developments in agentic software development and help the team adopt practices that improve the quality and pace of delivery.
• Support and grow the team. Provide ongoing coaching and actionable feedback, hold regular 1:1s, and deliver performance reviews. Build individualized growth plans that match each engineer's strengths and ambitions, and create opportunities to put those plans into practice.

ABOUT YOU 🦄

• You're an engineer who leads engineers. An engineer by trade, you have 8+ years of experience shipping production systems — ideally with some combination of Node/TypeScript, React, GraphQL, and Postgres (or similar relational database).
• You’ve supported external integrations and driven operational excellence on platform teams. You’ve supported large data sets in production and used observability and root-cause analysis to improve reliability and data quality.
• You have at least one year of experience leading an engineering team, and a track record of leading senior ICs
• You lead with empathy and curiosity. You know when to lean into technical decisions and when to trust engineers to own implementation, tailoring your management style to each person.
• You drive outcomes with pragmatic judgment. You turn ambiguous problems into achievable plans, communicate risks and tradeoffs clearly, and partner with Product to keep the team focused on meaningful results.
• You bring attention to detail, organization, and follow-through to complex systems. You make system health, issues, and ownership visible, communicate clearly with technical and nontechnical partners, and follow problems through to resolution.
• Experience with FinTech or consumer apps is a plus, but not a requirement.
