Engineering Manager - Financial Leaders

Cooperating in large groups comes at a high cost to the individual. It is easiest to see ourselves first through the lens of our culture, and if that culture is one whose social ties are loose and whose resources are controlled and shrewdly rationed by investors seeking return, that lens may leave little room for humanity.

But there is a balm to be found in the mutually trusting team. Consider how the pressures bearing down on the individual weaken when they are shared by a small group whose trust is mutual, whose expectations for each member are clear and fixed, whose structure permits each member to depart work without worry, proud of their contributions, knowing that if the market forces come knocking in the night, they will face those challenges with the strength of their companions.

This is what Mercury expects of a manager: to balance humanity and ROI. Build trust within your team. Focus your team on the right things. Deliver results.

In this role, as the engineering manager of our Finance Leaders team, you will guide a nimble group of motivated engineers to understand and improve the lives of accountants, CFOs, bookkeepers, and other financial decision-makers in our customer’s organizations.

You will:

• Ensure a team of ~4-8 engineers executes at a high level of technical excellence and stability.
• Create a fulfilling environment for engineers.
• Have the confidence and competence to give feedback to engineers of all skill levels.
• Continue to hone your own engineering craft, by spending a portion of your time coding.
• Align engineering work with Mercury values.
• Onboard new engineering hires.
• Work alongside other product experts to pick the highest-impact projects.
• Collaborate with other teams when work overlaps, ideally to achieve a more cohesive product and simpler, more maintainable underlying technical implementation.
• Balance building new things with maintaining existing systems.
• Provide technical mentorship such as PR reviews, pair programming, and virtual whiteboarding.
• Empower your team to thrive and contribute to making Mercury’s product reliable, beautiful, and useful.

You should:

• Have demonstrated the ability to lead a technical team.
• Have a strong individual engineering skill set. You will go through roughly the same interview process as our individual contributors, with additional interviews for management skills.
• Be familiar with our tech stack (specifically, Haskell and TypeScript), or have an interest in learning it.
• Be interested or experienced in helping startups succeed.
