Senior Engineering Manager, Client Servicing

Savvy Wealth • New York, NY

51d • Hybrid

About The Position

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join our growing team. ​​You’ll play a critical role in building, delivering, and scaling Savvy’s product. This is a hands-on management position: you’ll lead a team of passionate product-focused engineers while also diving into projects, collaborating closely with product, design, and go-to-market teams. You’ll learn how our business works, what our financial advisors and valuable clients need from us, and connect your engineering team’s work directly to business impact.

Requirements

• 3+ years as an engineering manager at a mid-size, scaling startup (typically Series A–C), managing both technical execution and people (performance, hiring, firing).
• Managed a team of at least 4-6+ engineers directly.
• Background of 3+ years as a fullstack or backend engineer so that you are strong enough to dive into technical details, guide system design decisions, and mentor your team.
• A delivery & execution-focused mindset, with clear awareness of your impact as an engineering leader.
• Passion for enabling teams while holding them accountable for execution.
• Experience on product-focused teams (shipping user-facing features) vs. solely infrastructure/platform teams.
• Excited to grow with Savvy from Series B to later stages.

Nice To Haves

• Experience leading hybrid teams (we are a mix of in-person + remote across NYC and LatAm time zones).
• Fintech or other compliance-heavy industry experience.
• Exposure to infrastructure, data, or related technical areas.
• Interest in being a future founder. Savvy can expose you to incredible detail on how scaling businesses grow, operate, and break.

Responsibilities

• Drive execution & delivery: own technical project management, ensure projects are well scoped, deadlines are met, and quality is high.
• Partner closely with our product and design teams to scope project feasibility and estimates.
• Be a force multiplier: unblock engineers, help them grow, and maintain a high-performing culture that’s accountable to impact and delivery.
• Lead & grow an engineering team (6+ direct reports), providing coaching, feedback, and career development, as well as managing performance, hiring, and when needed, making tough calls.
• Wear multiple hats: step into product leadership when needed, meet with customers and prospects, and collaborate cross-functionally with sales, operations, compliance, and leadership.
• Shape our engineering culture: help us scale from Series B to beyond, putting the right processes in place without heavy bureaucracy. Make sure your team feels empowered to deliver impact at high velocity.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity package
• Unlimited PTO + paid company holidays
• Access to holistic medical, dental, and vision plans
• Company 401(k), Commuter, and HSA/FSA plans
• NYC office in the heart of Manhattan
• Lunch and snacks provided in the office
• Access to virtual mental health care (Spring Health), vision related benefits (XP Health), and health concierge (Rightway) to help you find the right care
• Access to counseling for stress management, dependent care, nutrition, fitness, legal, and financial issues (Guardian WorkLifeMatters EAP)
