Credit Genie is a mobile-first financial wellness platform designed to help individuals take control of their financial future. We leverage artificial intelligence to provide personalized insights and are building a financial ecosystem by offering tools and services that provide instant access to cash, and building credit. Our goal is to empower every customer to achieve long-term financial stability.

PayPal, Square, and Cash App, we are well positioned to build the future of inclusive finance through cutting-edge technology and customer-centric solutions. As a Senior Software Engineering Manager for the backend team, you will lead a team of talented engineers responsible for building and maintaining systems that power our financial products.

This is a hybrid technical leadership role: you'll set technical direction, stay hands-on, and grow the people on your team — not just manage delivery from a distance. You'll play a key role in shaping the technical direction of our foundational infrastructure and product architecture, with a clear path to greater scope as you and the team grow.

Technical leadership: Set technical direction for the team — deciding what to build and how — in partnership with product managers and cross-functional leaders, aligning engineering efforts with business priorities. Oversee the architecture and delivery of scalable, high-performance backend services, ensuring technical solutions are reliable, maintainable, and aligned with long-term goals. Mentor and coach engineers to help them grow into stronger ICs and future leaders.

Promote engineering best practices with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and code quality. Manage and continuously improve team processes — sprint planning, execution, and retrospectives — to drive effective collaboration and timely delivery.



We're looking for someone who treats the role the way our strongest engineering managers do: Bias toward building, not just overseeing.

You'd rather write the code and review the design than just delegate it — hands-on work is a current habit, not a résumé line from a few years ago. You're comfortable challenging other engineering leads directly when something isn't working, not just within your own team. 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams of 5 or more ~5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with current, active coding involvement (roughly 20% of your time, or a clear desire to increase it) ~ Experience building and operating distributed, high-throughput, and mission-critical systems, ideally in financial services ~ Proven track record of leading teams to deliver complex projects ~ Solid understanding of security, data privacy, and regulatory compliance Our expectation is that employees are in the office five days a week, allowing for optimal collaboration, inclusivity, and productivity. We are committed to supporting our employees when circumstances arise that require remote work or adjusted schedules.

Our goal is to ensure everyone can effectively balance personal and skilled responsibilities while maintaining our collaborative and productive environment. 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents on your first day of employment. ~ 401(k) with a 3.5% match and immediate vesting ~ Pre-tax benefits, including a $1,000 HSA match ~ Life and accidental insurance ~ Flexible PTO You may also be eligible to participate in the bonus and equity programs. You will also have access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, short & long term disability insurance, life insurance, and flexible PTO along with many other benefits and perks.
