Barn manager Jobs in San Jose, CA

Engineering Manager

Lead is a banking infrastructure platform trusted by the most innovative companies to power complex financial products. We enable fintechs to offer compliant, programmable services like payments, lending, and digital assets at scale. Banking has moved beyond traditional institutions and is now embedded directly into everyday experiences, meaning companies need modern infrastructure that is safe, secure, and operationally sound.

Today, Lead is one of the only API-first, developer-focused partner banks with the financial, regulatory, and legal expertise required to help fintechs succeed. We operate offices in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, and New York City, and an FDIC-insured bank in Kansas City.

The Engineering team builds and maintains the technology that powers Lead's modern banking platform. Partnering with the Product, Finance, and Compliance teams, they architect secure, scalable financial systems that power money movement, credit and lending, card issuing, and account products for fintechs. Success requires technical excellence, a passion for solving complex infrastructure challenges, and the ability to collaborate effectively with a diverse set of stakeholders. The team is made up of ambitious builders and pragmatic problem solvers who are genuinely excited to see their work reach millions of end users across the globe.

We are looking for a highly skilled and proven engineering manager to lead a very experienced engineering team to deliver new banking services for enterprise customers, and to expand the depth of existing services. This position requires exceptional technical and people management skills and the ability to form strong partnerships with product managers and stakeholders across the organization to define and execute on a roadmap that addresses both product goals and customer needs.

• Merging real-world business instincts and understanding with technical skills to innovate and impact the company
• Working across multiple disciplines within a dynamic, fast-growing company to deliver impactful outcomes. Bringing order and focus while leaving room for flexibility and innovation
• Performing all other duties as assigned

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with demonstrated success designing and building large scale distributed systems. Experience in building financial systems or platforms is a huge plus.
