Brigit is a fintech company helping everyday Americans build financial health through transparent, fair, and simple financial products. The company has been recognized by Built In as a best place to work and by Fast Company as one of the most innovative companies in personal finance.
You will lead a high-performing engineering team building critical products, platform integrations, and scalable financial systems. Working closely with Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists, and Business Operations, you'll ship innovative product experiences at scale—from optimizing core features to leading 0-to-1 initiatives.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead, empower, and grow a diverse team of software engineers across varying seniority levels through regular 1:1s, actionable feedback, and structured career planning
- Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Business counterparts to define product roadmaps, scope technical initiatives, and balance business priorities with engineering speed
- Drive technical execution across sprint planning, capacity allocation, and architectural oversight to ensure timely, reliable delivery
- Guide architectural decisions and evaluate technical design docs for complex systems, ensuring high standards for security, testability, monitoring, and scale
- Foster a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement, supporting both complex platform scaling and fast-paced 0-to-1 product builds
The tech stack is primarily Java running in GCP on the backend, and React Native on the mobile frontend.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8+ years of total software engineering experience, including 3+ years directly managing and mentoring engineering teams in high-growth environments
- Proven track record of building, shipping, and maintaining complex backend or platform architectures over multiple release cycles
- Experience leading teams through technical ambiguity, including leading greenfield (0-to-1) product builds or core platform transformations
- Strong cross-functional leadership skills with experience regularly collaborating with product managers, design leads, and business stakeholders
- Passion for fostering an inclusive, high-performing engineering culture
- Experience with Java, GCP, and React Native is a plus, but strong engineering leadership fundamentals and architectural judgment matter most
