Software Engineering Manager (Python & AWS)

This is a direct-hire role with our client in Minneapolis, MN, working in a hybrid setup. Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the technology direction of a fast-growing organization in a role operating at the intersection of private alternatives, FinTech, and modern cloud engineering. Youll lead a talented engineering team building mission-critical, Python-based platforms while working closely with senior leadership, including direct visibility to executive leadership. This role is ideal for a technically hands-on leader who stays deeply informed on the evolving PE and FinTech technology landscape and is excited to bring cutting-edge ideas into production.

If youre motivated by ownership, influence, and the chance to drive meaningful innovation (not just maintain systems) this role was built for you.

Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of 5+ full stack engineers delivering high-impact applications in the private alternatives space.
• Own the architecture, development, and evolution of ~15 Python-based applications (Flask, FastAPI), remaining hands-on where it matters most.
• Design and optimize cloud-native, containerized solutions on AWS, including infrastructure, scalability, and resilience.
• Drive modern CI / CD best practices, enabling rapid, reliable delivery across teams.
• Serve as a trusted technical voice, presenting solutions to non-technical stakeholders and translating business goals into elegant engineering outcomes.
• Champion a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Actively explore and embed AI / ML capabilities into applications and engineering workflows to unlock efficiency and insight.
• Stay ahead of industry trends, ensuring the organization remains technologically competitive within PE and FinTech.
