Runway Financial is hiring a ⚙️ Engineering Manager

About the Role

As Engineering Manager, you'll play a central role in scaling the engineering function during a pivotal phase of growth. You'll build and lead a talented team, ensuring strong technical execution while shaping the foundation of engineering practices. Your leadership will directly influence product delivery and the long-term success of a platform designed to elevate finance teams into strategic roles within their organizations.

What You’ll Do

  • Scale the engineering team by hiring skilled engineers and developing a culture where people thrive
  • Collaborate with founders to define technical vision and make key architectural decisions
  • Remove obstacles that slow down progress and amplify your team’s effectiveness
  • Establish rigorous standards for code quality, system reliability, and deployment velocity
  • Drive product development that turns complex financial workflows into intuitive, accessible experiences
  • Enable engineers to do the best work of their careers by fostering ownership, clarity, and trust
  • Use technical insight to guide outcomes and multiply the impact of the broader team

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience growing engineering teams in fast-moving startup environments from early to growth stages
  • A history of improving team performance—shipping faster, reducing incidents, and scaling hiring
  • Deep technical fluency across full-stack systems, with the ability to step in on architecture when needed
  • Commitment to cultivating a culture of accountability, high standards, and continuous improvement
  • Experience delivering reliable, scalable software that solves real business challenges

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with React, TypeScript, and Go
  • Background in data engineering or fintech systems
  • Founder experience, particularly in early-stage ventures
  • Exposure to SaaS or B2B platforms
  • Passion for simplifying financial concepts for non-expert users

Work Environment

This is a remote-first role open to candidates across North America. The team gathers quarterly in San Francisco for in-person collaboration, with optional access to workspaces in San Francisco and New York City. The culture values transparency, ownership, and continuous learning.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary ranges from $240,000 to $280,000, complemented by generous early employee equity and comprehensive benefits. You’ll have the opportunity to shape engineering culture, engage directly with customers, and contribute to long-term strategic planning. The environment supports personal growth, including paths for aspiring founders.

Our Values

  • Give a Shit: Bring passion and ownership to everything you do
  • Create Clarity: Start with the problem, break down complexity, and communicate with purpose
  • Build Trust: Be honest, listen actively, and hold yourself accountable
  • Raise the Bar: Challenge assumptions, improve iteratively, and push beyond what’s expected
