Job Description:

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join our growing team. You’ll play a critical role in building, delivering, and scaling Savvy’s product. This is a hands-on management position: you’ll lead a team of passionate product-focused engineers while also diving into projects, collaborating closely with product, design, and go-to-market teams. You’ll learn how our business works, what our financial advisors and valuable clients need from us, and connect your engineering team’s work directly to business impact.

Job Responsibility:

Drive execution & delivery: own technical project management, ensure projects are well scoped, deadlines are met, and quality is high
Partner closely with our product and design teams to scope project feasibility and estimates
Be a force multiplier: unblock engineers, help them grow, and maintain a high-performing culture that’s accountable to impact and delivery
Lead & grow an engineering team (6+ direct reports), providing coaching, feedback, and career development, as well as managing performance, hiring, and when needed, making tough calls
Wear multiple hats: step into product leadership when needed, meet with customers and prospects, and collaborate cross-functionally with sales, operations, compliance, and leadership
Shape our engineering culture: help us scale from Series B to beyond, putting the right processes in place without heavy bureaucracy. Make sure your team feels empowered to deliver impact at high velocity

Requirements:

3+ years as an engineering manager at a mid-size, scaling startup (typically Series A–C), managing both technical execution and people (performance, hiring, firing)
Managed a team of at least 4-6+ engineers directly
Background of 3+ years as a fullstack or backend engineer so that you are strong enough to dive into technical details, guide system design decisions, and mentor your team
A delivery & execution-focused mindset, with clear awareness of your impact as an engineering leader
Passion for enabling teams while holding them accountable for execution
Experience on product-focused teams (shipping user-facing features) vs. solely infrastructure/platform teams
Excited to grow with Savvy from Series B to later stages

Nice to have:

Experience leading hybrid teams (we are a mix of in-person + remote across NYC and LatAm time zones)
Fintech or other compliance-heavy industry experience
Exposure to infrastructure, data, or related technical areas
Interest in being a future founder. Savvy can expose you to incredible detail on how scaling businesses grow, operate, and break

What we offer:

Competitive salary and equity package
Unlimited PTO + paid company holidays
Access to holistic medical, dental, and vision plans
Company 401(k), Commuter, and HSA/FSA plans
NYC office in the heart of Manhattan
Lunch and snacks provided in the office
Access to virtual mental health care (Spring Health), vision related benefits (XP Health), and health concierge (Rightway) to help you find the right care
Access to counseling for stress management, dependent care, nutrition, fitness, legal, and financial issues (Guardian WorkLifeMatters EAP)
