You will lead a ~50-person engineering organization focused on raising the bar and enabling output that appears to come from a much larger team. This role emphasizes technical depth and quality over headcount growth. You will lead through direct reports and a small group of engineering managers and tech leads, partnering closely with Product, Risk, and Compliance.
Key responsibilities include owning engineering strategy and architecture across card issuing, wallets, ledger, money movement, onchain settlement, and integrations with card networks and banking partners. You will set Rain's engineering quality bar across system design, code review, testing, observability, and technical decision-making, ensuring correctness is treated as critical for systems moving customer funds. You will go deep on high-risk areas, reviewing critical designs and weighing in on highest-consequence architecture decisions.
You will drive reliability, scalability, and operational excellence by establishing SLOs, improving incident response, capacity planning for 10x growth, and designing resilient systems. You will build security, compliance, and correctness into the platform by design, partnering with Risk, Compliance, and Security teams to meet PCI, SOC 2, fraud-control, regulatory, and blockchain infrastructure requirements.
Additionally, you will increase engineering velocity without sacrificing quality through improvements to CI/CD, developer tooling, local environments, and technical debt management. You will build and develop a high-performing engineering organization by hiring and coaching engineering managers and technical leads, establishing clear team ownership, and owning headcount planning. Finally, you will operate as a member of the leadership team, translating company strategy into technical plans and representing engineering to the board, banking partners, and customers.
