Senior Engineering Manager

Описание вакансии

Self Financial is a venture-backed, high-growth FinTech company with a mission to increase economic inclusion and financial resilience by empowering people to build credit and build savings.

We're looking for people who share our passion and are driven to tackle challenges, find solutions and make the financial space better for the communities we serve.

Our team is passionate about challenging the status quo of the credit industry by providing people accessible tools to take control of their credit. Executing on our mission requires deep collaboration across our teams to ensure our products reach the people who can benefit from them the most, particularly the 100 million+ Americans who have no or low credit.

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. To that end, we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.

About the Team

At Self Financial, we believe access to credit creates access to opportunity. More than 100 million Americans have no or low credit which limits their housing, employment, and long-term financial mobility.

Engineering at Self exists to change that.

We are a mission-driven organization built on ownership, experimentation, and accountability. We move quickly, measure what matters, and hold a high bar for quality because the systems we build directly impact our members’ financial futures.

Individuals That Matter

Leadership at Self is about influence, not hierarchy.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, your decisions will shape our business performance and engineering operations.

At Self, managers are empowered to:

• Set standards, not just follow them
• Drive operational improvements across teams
• Make principled, data-informed decisions
• Influence how Engineering operates beyond their immediate scope

If you’re looking for a role where your leadership meaningfully shapes both product performance and organizational maturity then this is it.

About the Role

You will lead two critical functions: Growth Acquisition Engineering and Quality Engineering.

Growth Acquisition Engineering

A frontend-focused team responsible for increasing originations and improving onboarding performance.

You will:

• Partner with Product to design and execute rigorous experiments
• Define KPIs, establish control groups, and leverage tools like LaunchDarkly
• Optimize onboarding funnels and reduce user friction
• Support React-based development within AWS environments
• Drive performance through data-informed iteration

This work directly contributes to user and revenue growth.

Quality Engineering

A team of QA and Test Automation professionals responsible for raising quality standards across Engineering.

You will:

• Expand automation coverage and strengthen release confidence
• Improve delivery predictability and operational discipline
• Advocate for secure, resilient software practices
• Influence quality standards beyond your direct team

Success means delivering measurable business impact while strengthening how we operate at scale.

What You Bring

• 5+ years in software engineering, including experience leading engineering teams
• Experience driving growth or revenue-impacting initiatives
• Strong frontend background (React preferred) and AWS expertise
• Deep experience with experimentation frameworks and performance optimization
• Proven ability to improve team performance and operational maturity
• Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills

What Makes You Stand Out

• You lead through influence and clarity
• You think in systems, not just features
• You balance speed with long-term quality
• You connect engineering decisions to real customer outcomes

*Base salary is $157,000-233,000 annually.  Individual pay is based on factors unique to each candidate, including skill set, experience, location, and other job-related reasons.*

Benefits and Perks:

We have the compensation and benefits you expect. But there's one thing that Self Financial can offer that many companies cannot: we can positively change the world, while making a profit. We are a team of Builders, empowering our customers to build their dreams. We have a Do the Right Thing ethos in all that we do, and we hope you value that approach, too. 

Our perks include:

• Company equity in the form of Stock Options
• Performance-based bonuses
• Generous employer-paid health, vision and dental insurance coverage
• Flexible vacation policy
• Educational assistance
• Free gym membership
• Casual dress code
• Team building events and activities
• Remote work arrangements/ flexible work schedule
• Paid parental leave

Self Financial requires all employees hired to successfully pass a background check.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.

*At this time, we are only able to consider applicants who are U.S. Citizens or Green Card Holders for employment opportunities. We appreciate your understanding.*
