Mundi is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the product development cycle for the Working Capital team. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you will directly contribute to code on key initiatives, accelerate team velocity through strategic AI adoption, and establish solid engineering practices.
You will be responsible for guaranteeing delivery of key Working Capital initiatives, ensuring operational excellence and product development aligned with business objectives, and developing a self-managed multidisciplinary team using modern software development practices. You will elevate execution standards and technical quality across the engineering organization.
The role operates within a tech stack including TypeScript/Node.js/React (Next.js or Vite), Python, PostgreSQL, event sourcing (KurrentDB/EventStore), Apache Pulsar messaging, and Temporal for transactional orchestration. Infrastructure runs on GCP with Kubernetes (GKE), Dapr for service communication, KrakenD API Gateway, and Istio. CI/CD uses GitHub Actions and ArgoCD with observability via SigNoz, Grafana, and Sentry. AI inference and pipelines leverage LiteLLM with OpenAI/Gemini models.
Key responsibilities include hands-on technical leadership with systems architecture vision, designing technical specifications and prototyping alongside the team; cross-functional coordination balancing tradeoffs and communicating product roadmap vision; building multidisciplinary, self-managed teams focused on end-to-end product development with iterative, incremental delivery; strategic AI adoption as a force multiplier with rigorous technical evaluation, automated testing, and attention to latency, fallbacks, costs, and observability; and extreme ownership with a quality-first mindset, proactively identifying and resolving inefficiencies, leading incidents, and delivering results in high-ambiguity contexts.
Top soft skills needed: collaborative product building aligned to business objectives, effective cross-functional communication, and ability to lead and develop multidisciplinary teams.
REQUIREMENTS:
Must-Haves:
- 5+ years combined software engineering experience with at least 2–3 years in formal technical leadership or hands-on Engineering Manager roles at fintech startups, B2B SaaS, or digital product companies, maintaining constant proximity to code, architecture, and product
- Hands-on technical leadership and systems architecture vision: proven ability to deeply understand complex transactional architectures, design technical specs, and prototype alongside the team
- Business acumen and collaborative building: autonomy to coordinate solutions across multidisciplinary and cross-functional teams, balancing tradeoffs and effectively communicating product roadmap vision
- People multiplier: experience building multidisciplinary, self-managed teams delivering end-to-end product with iterative, incremental focus and elevated quality standards
- Strategic AI adoption: using AI as a work multiplier for real problems with critical judgment and technical rigor, including automated testing for business scenarios, latency/fallback/cost/observability management
- Extreme ownership with quality culture: owner mentality (high I/O, emotional maturity, humility), proactively detecting and resolving inefficiencies before they scale, leading incidents, delivering results in high-ambiguity contexts
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in fintech, credit, or lending companies managing critical transactional flows, balances, audit, and ledgering
- High-growth startup experience with adaptability to dynamic contexts and comfort building product from zero
