We are the go-to solution for many financial services firms (mutual fund dealers, securities dealers, wealth management firms and insurance companies) that want to stay competitive in an intriguingly digital world.

At Univeris, we value talent and ideas. Our employees have the freedom to do things they know would be great and meaningful for our clients and for the company.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a senior Engineering Manager to provide leadership across software development teams at Univeris. Reporting to the VP of Engineering, the Engineering Manager is a people-first technical leader -- someone who brings deep engineering experience to the table, exercises strong judgement, and creates the conditions for their teams and Tech Leads to do their best work.

Engineering Managers at Univeris participate actively in analysis and design, code reviews, client and escalation meetings, and internal planning. They drive process improvements, remove blockers, and maintain a clear line of sight into the health and output of their teams at all times. Above all, they are accountable for the people they manage -- their growth, their performance, and their success.

The Role People Leadership

- Own all aspects of people management for direct reports (Tech Leads): 1:1s, performance evaluations, coaching, career development planning, and team culture

- Drive hiring end-to-end -- from defining role requirements through interviewing, selection, and onboarding

- Identify and grow talent proactively, ensuring Tech Leads and their teams have clear paths for development

- Foster a high-trust, high-accountability team environment grounded in psychological safety and a drive for excellence

- Prior experience managing Tech Leads or team leads is strongly preferred

Delivery & Execution

- Accountable for the delivery and execution of your team(s) -- setting goals, tracking progress, and ensuring commitments are met

- Maintain a high degree of visibility into team health, velocity, risks, and blockers at all times

- Unblock teams quickly and decisively, escalating when appropriate and following through to resolution

- Align team output with broader engineering and organizational priorities

- Skilled at managing ambiguity -- able to break down complex situations, identify critical issues, and make decisions with incomplete information

Engineering Leadership

- Participate actively in analysis, technical design, and code reviews -- maintaining enough technical context to make informed decisions and credibly support your Tech Leads
