Engineering Manager, Verifications

Lead and grow the Verifications engineering team — setting technical direction, driving performance and career development conversations, and building a hiring pipeline that strengthens the team over time

Own the reliability and quality of a broad portfolio of fulfillment integrations — partnering closely with vendors and internal stakeholders to reduce friction, improve turnaround times, and minimize candidate and customer impact when issues arise

Partner with Product to define and execute the roadmap across employment, education, drug and health, and compliance products — translating customer and regulatory requirements into clear engineering priorities

Drive technical strategy for scaling a complex, integration-heavy system — making deliberate architecture decisions that improve coverage, reduce manual exceptions, and build toward a more automated and consistent verification experience

Lead the team's adoption of AI-assisted development practices — helping engineers move faster while maintaining the quality and accuracy standards that a regulated, data-sensitive product requires

Represent Verifications in cross-functional planning — serving as the engineering voice on team capacity, tradeoffs, and roadmap sequencing with Product, Compliance, and Engineering leadership

4+ years as an engineering manager, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams

8+ years as a software engineer, with strong command of service architecture, distributed systems, and system design

Experience managing complex third-party integration environments — you’re comfortable owning reliability across systems you don’t fully control, and know how to structure teams and processes around that reality

A track record of improving operational metrics — reducing incident frequency, improving detection time, or shipping reliability improvements in high-stakes production environments

Familiarity with AI-assisted development and agentic coding tools — you understand how to help your team adopt these responsibly and can reason about the tradeoffs between velocity and quality they introduce

Experience working on regulated products where data accuracy and legal compliance are non-negotiable

Strong incident management skills — you can lead both the technical response and the stakeholder communication when things go wrong

Ability to make prioritization decisions quickly, with a clear framework for balancing short-term reliability work against longer-term product investments

Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders — Product, Operations, Compliance, and senior leadership

A genuine investment in developing people — through career conversations, stretch assignments, and creating conditions for engineers to grow

Humility, openness to feedback, and eagerness to learn

An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes

We use geographic cost of labor as an input to develop ranges for our roles and as such, each location where we hire may have a different range. If this role is remote, we have listed the top to the bottom of the possible range, but we will specify the target range for an exact location when you are selected for a recruiting discussion.
