We are seeking an innovative and forward-thinking Engineering Manager passionate about building a world-class platform through a world-class team. Driving the technical direction of the technology, the evolution of the team, and the engineering excellence to make great things happen.

About the Netting Team

The team builds and maintains our multilateral netting platform — a critical solution that enables enterprise customers to consolidate thousands of intercompany payment obligations into a streamlined set of net settlements. Instead of every entity paying every other entity individually across borders, currencies, and banking relationships, our platform calculates optimal net positions and dramatically reduces the volume of cross-border payments that actually need to move. The result: reduced transaction and banking fees, and far less operational overhead.

It's a domain where precision matters — if you enjoy building systems where correctness, performance, and usability intersect with real financial impact, this is a team where your work is felt directly on the bottom line.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead a portfolio of diverse technology projects and a team of software engineers with deep experience in cloud native services, and full stack systems to create solutions that help meet the needs of business and customers
• Drive decisions on the design, architecture, and delivery of systems
• Build teams and be an active coach and mentor to your team and grow them in their careers
• Drive agile development and analytical methodologies every day
• Strive to continuously improve the operations, processes, methodologies, technology choices, and practices of the team
• Interact with your team, customers, and peers to share information and improve cross-department processes
• Strive for transparency and partnership between our engineers and our business partners
• Engage in concept discussions, and proposed technology solutions, to meet business objectives and influence such decisions
• Ensure all work meets quality, operational, and architectural standards needed for organizational success
• Be a champion of the YBIYRI ethos (you-build-it-you-run-it), which includes participating in their on-call pager rotation.

Who You Are:

• A leader, first and foremost
• An influential and effective communicator
• Highly skilled at developing people, building high impact teams, and attracting top talent
• Strong proficiency with the software development lifecycle and engineering excellence processes, Agile methodologies, along with skills in leading moderately sized projects
• Technical savvy, allowing you to guide complex technical discussions, weighing the tradeoffs, and advocate for sound decisions
• A skilled operator of Agile practices and data driven methodologies
• Ideally, possess deep knowledge and experience with Microsoft languages/frameworks (C#/.NET, SQL Server, Entity Framework)
• Expertise with Azure (Function Apps, Service Bus, etc...) and DevExpress a bonus

Team Enablement & Mentorship:

• Mentor engineers, helping them grow into technical leadership roles
• Break down complex, ambiguous problems into actionable work that distributes effectively across the team
• Champion engineering best practices including observability, incident response, and production excellence
• Share your enthusiasm for tech trends, explore and learn new technologies

Cross-Functional Impact:

• Partner with Product and Customer Success teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions
• Collaborate across distributed teams (Ireland, U.S., Philippines, Australia) to drive alignment on technical approaches
• Influence product roadmap by identifying technical opportunities that create competitive advantages
• Bridge the gap between technical implementation and business value, helping the team prioritize high-impact work

Maximize Agility:

• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the development lifecycle that slow down the entire team
• Drive adoption of modern engineering practices that improve developer experience and productivity
• Lead post-mortems and blameless retrospectives that turn incidents into learning opportunities

Ownership & Accountability:

• Own critical systems end-to-end, from design through production support
• Take responsibility for production reliability and proactively prevent incidents
• Step into ambiguous situations and drive them to resolution without needing explicit direction
• Make tough technical trade-off decisions and clearly communicate the reasoning
