About The Position

The Engineering Manager at autoMHatic Financial leads our emerging engineering function, bridging the gap between technical execution and organizational strategy. They are responsible for hiring and mentoring engineers, planning and delivering projects, and ensuring high-quality, on-time outcomes while fostering a healthy, high-performing team. This is a hands-on role: you will help build and lead a cross-functional engineering team (backend, frontend, data, DevOps – primarily offshore/nearshore) while still contributing directly to design, coding, and code reviews for internal tools, integrations, and automations. You will serve as the primary technical point of contact for external partners and vendors and work closely with the VP of Technology to turn business priorities into an executable engineering roadmap. The ideal candidate is a backend-leaning engineering leader with a strong background in APIs and services, familiarity integrating Snowflake as a core data platform, and a track record of owning projects end-to-end in small, high-growth environments. This role is 100% in-office.

Requirements

5–10+ years of professional experience as a backend or full-stack engineer, with a strong focus on APIs, services, and integrations.
Proven experience designing and building RESTful and/or event-driven APIs and integrations between internal systems and third-party platforms.
Experience building services and integrations that read from and/or write to Snowflake or a similar cloud data warehouse, with practical understanding of how to use it effectively.
Strong proficiency in SQL and at least one modern backend language and ecosystem (e.g., C#/.NET, Java, Node.js, or similar).
Demonstrated experience leading complex technical projects from concept and requirements through estimation, execution, launch, and support.
Experience providing technical leadership and day-to-day direction to a small team, including working effectively with offshore or nearshore developers.
Familiarity with modern DevOps and cloud practices (Git-based workflows, CI/CD, environment promotion, basic infrastructure and monitoring concepts).
Experience in high-growth, evolving environments (PE-backed, startup, or similar) where processes and structures needed to be created or scaled.
Strong communication and collaboration skills; able to work closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Clear ownership mentality, focusing on outcomes and business impact rather than just tasks.

Nice To Haves

Experience in mortgage lending, consumer finance, fintech, or other regulated financial services.
Deeper data experience with Snowflake or similar platforms (data modeling, pipeline design, optimization, governance).
Familiarity with common tools around Snowflake (e.g., dbt or similar transformation frameworks, orchestration tools, BI/analytics tools).
Experience building internal line-of-business applications, workflow tools, or operational dashboards.
Exposure to event-driven architectures, message queues, and integration platforms (e.g., iPaaS, service buses).
Prior experience setting up or maturing engineering and delivery processes (SDLC, Agile practices, documentation, testing standards).

Responsibilities

Lead and grow the internal engineering function, including hiring, mentoring, and managing a small, primarily offshore/nearshore team across backend, frontend, data, and DevOps.
Serve as the hands-on technical lead for internal tools, integrations, automations, and services, contributing directly to architecture, design, coding, and code reviews.
Act as the primary technical owner and main point of contact for external technology partners and vendors, leading integration design, implementation, and ongoing technical relationships.
Own end-to-end planning and delivery of engineering initiatives: define scope, estimates, milestones, and timelines; oversee execution; and manage launches and post-implementation follow-up.
Design, build, and maintain APIs and integrations between internal systems, partner platforms, and our data platform (including Snowflake), ensuring reliability, performance, and security.
Establish and run lightweight, effective engineering processes (SDLC, standards, branching, reviews, releases, incident response) and core team rituals (backlog grooming, sprint planning, standups, demos, retros).
Collaborate closely with Product, Operations, Credit, Servicing, and other Technology teams to translate business needs into clear technical requirements and deliver solutions that materially improve efficiency and quality.
Drive engineering quality through appropriate testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, environment management, and pragmatic SRE/DevOps practices.
Monitor system and integration health; proactively identify issues; lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis; and implement durable fixes.
Communicate status, risks, dependencies, and trade-offs clearly to the VP of Technology and other stakeholders, helping align engineering work with company priorities.
