Role Overview

We are looking for a highly skilled and mission-driven Engineering Manager to join Brigit’s engineering leadership team. Our financial health platform has tremendous traction in helping low-income Americans who struggle to make ends meet. In this role, you will lead high-performing engineering teams building critical products, platform integrations, and scalable financial systems.

You will work closely with a cross-functional team (Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists, and Business Operations) to ship innovative product experiences at scale—ranging from optimizing established core features to leading 0-to-1 initiatives. You’ll be responsible for bringing out the best in your engineers, mentoring talent, establishing efficient team processes, and creating an inclusive environment where people do their best work.

What you’ll be doing

- Lead, empower, and grow a diverse team of software engineers across varying seniority levels through regular 1:1s, actionable feedback, and structured career planning.

- Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Business counterparts to define product roadmaps, scope technical initiatives, and balance business priorities with engineering speed.

- Drive technical execution across sprint planning, capacity allocation, and architectural oversight to ensure timely, reliable delivery.
