Your key responsibilities

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll be responsible for leading one medium team or a couple of smaller teams working on related products within our ecosystem. This is a technical, delivery-focused role that works closely with architecture, technical leads, and a supporting Senior Manager. The ideal candidate brings strong modern engineering practices, practical ownership of the full development loop, and the ability to keep delivery moving while managing technical complexity. Python is a required backend

skill, and this role must operate effectively in a mixed environment where existing .NET/C# services are actively maintained while new backend development is built in Python. The manager is expected to lead phased migration from .NET to Python when appropriate, balancing business continuity and modernization. On the frontend, we are moving from Angular toward Next.js and Web Components, with Macrocomponents implemented using Web Components and Module Federation. As agentic SDLC gains

broad traction, the candidate should also have practical experience applying it with clear quality and security guardrails.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead one medium or multiple smaller teams, aligning to goals and fostering a collaborative delivery culture
• Stay close to delivery through code/design reviews, technical coaching, and active tech debt management
• Partner with the Senior Manager on cross-team escalations, broader planning, and strategic trade-offs
• Plan and sequence priorities, identify dependencies early, and keep execution aligned to iteration goals
• Set clear sprint goals, drive demos, and maintain visibility into milestones, risks, and overall progress
• Break work into achievable increments to ensure predictable delivery
• Lead delivery across components with backend stacks in Python or .NET/C#, based on needs
• Ensure clear ownership, consistent engineering standards, and operational reliability across all components
• Plan and execute .NET-to-Python migrations for targeted components while maintaining stability of business-critical systems
• Apply engineering principles across the full lifecycle: design, coding, testing, release, and operations
• Drive practical adoption of agentic SDLC with human-in-the-loop quality, testing, and security controls
• Maintain strong automated testing coverage and reliable release practices
• Track and report key engineering metrics, including updates to Atlassian Compass
• Facilitate bi-weekly live demos from cloud environments and ensure consistency in delivery
• Maintain transparency through regular status updates
• Own timely resolution of Information Security (InfoSec) findings

Skills and attributes for success

• Proven experience leading an engineering team and delivering software in iterative cycles
• Strong practical backend experience in Python and hands-on experience maintaining existing .NET/C# services
• Experience working in mixed .NET and Python environments, including phased migration from .NET to Python
• Strong frontend experience with Next.js, Web Components, and Module Federation; Angular migration experience is valuable
• Experience building cloud-native applications on Azure (AWS and GCP experience is also acceptable)
• Hands-on experience with containerized workloads and orchestration
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Bicep, Terraform, Pulumi, or CDK
• Full-stack development experience and strong understanding of test automation (unit, integration, e2e)
• Practical experience applying agentic SDLC in real delivery workflows.

Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills

To qualify for the role, you must have

• Bachelor’s degree required (4-year degree) Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Economics and/or a master’s degree in Accounting, Tax Technology, Management Information Systems, or Computer Science or related field; master's degree preferred.
• Typically, no less than 5 - 7 years relevant experience

• You are required to have one of the following certifications: CPA, EA, JD, Master’s degree in business administration, finance, economics, computer science, information systems or engineering, Quantitative Economics or Quants
• Exposure to the financial services industry, accounting/finance/tax, tax or finance performance improvement, tax software development and/or implementation 

• Ability to take ownership of assigned tasks and monitoring them until completion, including documenting requirements, configuration, testing, debugging, project profitability, and tax systems and process configuration

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Familiarity with delivery tools such as GitHub, GitHub Actions, Atlassian Suite, SonarQube, Mend, and Aqua Trivy
• Strong understanding of component life cycles and practical debugging in full-stack systems

• Professional certification requirements as defined by each service line
• Emotional Agility and Hybrid Collaboration skills
• Experience in Leading Teams and Learning Agility

What we look for

We are looking for top performers who demonstrate the ability to be client-focused, results-driven, and innovative. You should possess strong leadership skills, the ability to think critically and solve complex problems, and a passion for delivering high-quality user experiences.
