The Opportunity: Senior Engineering Manager, Nira

We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our NIRA team, owning engineering across product, platform reliability, data infrastructure, and internal tooling.

  • Raise the bar on engineering practices (CI/CD, testing, reliability, observability)
  • Lead and grow a high-performing team of engineers
  • Drive technical decisions that balance speed, quality, and scalability
  • Partner cross-functionally to deliver meaningful business outcomes

Why you're a great fit

  • 7+ years in engineering, with 3+ years in management
  • Experience leading teams in startup or scaling environments
  • Strong track record improving engineering standards and delivery
  • Comfortable operating across product, infrastructure, and data
  • Clear communicator with a bias for action
