Role Description

Givebutter is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead our Treasury pod. You'll be directly responsible for delivering world-class financial infrastructure to our nonprofit users, maturing our engineering practices, and growing a team of skilled engineers.

Engineering Managers at Givebutter are hands-on. You'll ship code, review PRs, make architectural decisions from a place of actual context, and stay close to production - monitoring systems, jumping into incidents, and understanding how your team's work actually behaves in the wild. We don't expect you to carry IC load like a senior engineer, but we do expect you to be in the editor regularly, pair when it helps the team, and prototype your way through ambiguity. If you've been fully out of the code for years and want to stay there, this probably isn't the right fit. The managers who thrive here earn trust on both the people side and the technical side.

You'll report directly to our VP of Engineering and carry out our product vision while building a scalable engineering culture that breeds innovation. You'll make sure we ship excellent user experiences on time without compromising on security, design, or performance. You'll cultivate a team of high performers by removing roadblocks, building processes that incentivize excellence, and bringing real expertise in fintech and financial systems. We've already built a strong foundation, powering hundreds of millions of donations to over 40k organizations, and you'll take that impact much further.

Why join Givebutter's Engineering team?

• Code Democracy – Every engineer has a voice. We value diverse perspectives and foster an environment for open discussion on architecture and technical ideas.

• Autonomy & Focus – Our engineers enjoy flexibility with minimal meetings and uninterrupted time to dive deep into problem-solving.
