Hi, we're Brigit! A holistic financial health company helping everyday Americans build a brighter financial future. With a business model that is aligned with our customers, we create transparent, fair, and simple financial products that put money back in the hands of our members, help them spend wisely, avoid unfair fees and build their credit quickly. If autonomy, ownership, and having meaningful input at the company you work for is important to you, come join our growing team!

Brigit is doing innovative and exciting work, but don’t just take our word for it, our work is being recognized by others:

Role overview

We are looking for a highly skilled and mission-driven Engineering Manager to join the Instant Cash team. Our Instant Cash product has tremendous traction in helping low-income Americans who struggle to make ends meet. In this role, you will work closely with a cross-functional product team (Product managers, designers, researchers, data scientists, business operations) to ship innovative and incredible product experiences at scale. This person will be responsible for bringing out the best in their team of engineers. You will coach individuals and set (and remove) processes to help teams operate efficiently. You’ll mentor, share feedback, guide careers, and create an inclusive environment where people can do their best work.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead and grow a high performance and diverse team of engineers and technologists of varying seniority levels

  • Support engineers in their career development through regular 1:1s, feedback, and coaching.

  • Collaborate with product, design, data, and business counterparts to shape roadmap, define scope, and make tradeoffs.

  • Structure and improve your team’s processes to enhance execution velocity, making tactical tradeoffs between business priorities and resources

  • Drive sprint planning, capacity allocation, and prioritization to ensure timely and high-quality delivery.

  • Ensure technical architecture and delivery meet quality standards, with strong monitoring, testing, and scalability built in.

  • Contributing to technical direction by evaluating large strategic decisions, and by evaluating design documents for engineering initiatives

What you have

  • 10+ years of hands-on professional software development experience

  • 3+ years of software engineering management and mentorship experience

  • A desire to build an inclusive, diverse, and high performing team. Even better if you've done that many times already in a startup environment.

  • Experience regularly collaborating with product and design teams

  • ​​You've built large and complex projects at scale, and maintained them over many release cycles

  • We use Java running in GCP, and React Native. If you have experience in that stack, all the better, but it’s not strictly necessary.
