Job Description:

Join us in building a better financial system. Wealthfront is continuing to grow and needs managers who are excited to lead talented teams of engineers to improve and expand our products, while maintaining a commitment to high engineering quality standards. Engineering managers at Wealthfront have a solid background as hands-on engineers and have realized that they can have more impact through their organizations. The largest impact you will have will be through identifying, developing, and coaching “whole engineers” who take ownership of their projects. With guidance from you, the engineers on your team will take full responsibility for their work, which may include working with cross functional stakeholders directly, authoring their own engineering designs, performing and overseeing their implementations, and taking full responsibility for their code running in production. Along the way, you will also help us develop the engineering organization, taking a first principles approach to problems like hiring, performance reviews and project management.

Collaborate with the tech leads and other functions (product management, design, product support, brokerage operations) to understand and respond to changing priorities

Facilitate the exchange of information among all Wealthfront employees in a systematic manner
Lead or contribute to effective organizational improvement within the engineering organization or Wealthfront
Combine data-driven process and human empathy to iteratively develop and assess our collective teams and individual team members
Evaluate technical abilities of individual engineers, in order to match them with projects which demonstrate their strengths and stretch them to grow
Partner with Recruiting to build well-rounded, effective, and inclusive engineering teams

Requirements:

B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience
