Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a highly skilled and mission-driven Engineering Manager to join the Instant Cash team
- 10+ years of hands-on professional software development experience
- 3+ years of software engineering management and mentorship experience
- A desire to build an inclusive, diverse, and high performing team. Even better if you've done that many times already in a startup environment
- Experience regularly collaborating with product and design teams
- You've built large and complex projects at scale, and maintained them over many release cycles
- We use Java running in GCP, and React Native. If you have experience in that stack, all the better, but it’s not strictly necessary
What the job involves
- Our Instant Cash product has tremendous traction in helping low-income Americans who struggle to make ends meet
- In this role, you will work closely with a cross-functional product team (Product managers, designers, researchers, data scientists, business operations) to ship innovative and incredible product experiences at scale
- This person will be responsible for bringing out the best in their team of engineers
- You will coach individuals and set (and remove) processes to help teams operate efficiently
- You’ll mentor, share feedback, guide careers, and create an inclusive environment where people can do their best work
- Lead and grow a high performance and diverse team of engineers and technologists of varying seniority levels
- Support engineers in their career development through regular 1:1s, feedback, and coaching
- Collaborate with product, design, data, and business counterparts to shape roadmap, define scope, and make tradeoffs
- Structure and improve your team’s processes to enhance execution velocity, making tactical tradeoffs between business priorities and resources
- Drive sprint planning, capacity allocation, and prioritization to ensure timely and high-quality delivery
- Ensure technical architecture and delivery meet quality standards, with strong monitoring, testing, and scalability built in
- Contributing to technical direction by evaluating large strategic decisions, and by evaluating design documents for engineering initiatives
Our take
Brigit is an algorithm-based personal finance app that helps underserved financial customers maintain financial health. It offers a raft of protective services including cash bumps to fend off overdraft charges, budgeting tools, and interest-free emergency loans.
In spite of this financially-oriented spread, Brigit has no intention of expanding into neo-banking. This is smart, as it allows the company to focus on a broad range of banner services without stepping into the far more competitive digital banking sector. Brigit has successfully united these disparate features under a strong customer-forward and socially-impactful identity, which gives the company the freedom to expand its services in response to new banking trends without diluting its brand.
It means, too, that Brigit can complement new and legacy banking solutions, instead of competing for space. This careful positioning should shore Brigit up in a sector undergoing continual and swift change.
