⚙️ Engineering Manager

💩 Give a Shit : Giving a shit can’t be taught. It’s an inner drive that compels you to do what’s right and do it well. Have passion, take pride, and care deeply about your impact.

💡 Create Clarity : Cut through ambiguity and reveal the truth. Start with why, then answer how and what. Treat problems like puzzles, dig deeper, and find the right path.

🤝 Build Trust : With trust, it’s safe to take risks. We get there by being open, honest, and accountable. Actively listen, speak your mind, and consistently show up.

✨ Raise the Bar : Scrap the status quo and push yourself to create something that wows. Get others excited to do the same. Iterate, elevate, and don’t stop moving forward.

You'll lead and scale our engineering team during a critical growth phase. This means building a high-performing team, establishing engineering excellence, and shipping products that help finance teams become true strategic partners to their organizations.

Day to day, you'll be hiring exceptional engineers, setting technical direction alongside our founders, unblocking your team, and fostering a culture where people do the best work of their careers. You'll be hands-on enough to make architectural decisions when needed, while spending most of your time multiplying the impact of others.

Team growth: Successfully hiring and retaining exceptional engineers

Shipping velocity: Increasing the pace and quality of what we deliver to customers

Engineering health: Reducing incidents, improving reliability, and maintaining technical excellence

Team engagement: Building a team where people are excited to come to work

Impact: Help finance teams operate like strategic partners, not spreadsheet managers.

Innovation: Work on the frontier of fintech and business intelligence.

Growth: Shape the engineering culture and practices of a company at an inflection point.

At Runway, our commitment to our mission goes hand in hand with our dedication to cultivating the next generation of entrepreneurs. Around 10% of our team members have been founders themselves, and several early employees have successfully exited to start their own ventures - some backed by our founder Siqi Chen, who has invested in over 200 startups to date.

By stepping into this role, you'll help shape and grow an array of customer businesses, gaining firsthand insights into diverse operational strategies, monetization models, and long-term vision planning. Paired with our open and transparent culture, Runway offers a uniquely supportive environment for those aspiring to launch their own company in the future.
