Synctera

Role Description We’re looking for an Engineering Manager who can lead a small, experienced team doing high-ownership work in a regulated environment. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit above the work. It’s for someone who can help engineers make good decisions, keep teams focused through ambiguity, and stay close enough to the technical work to contribute when it makes sense. - Support teams building both customer-facing compliance products and core platform capabilities. - Work spans data-intensive systems for automated compliance monitoring and control testing. - Involves foundational platform services such as tenant management, event and webhook infrastructure, API ingress and egress. - Turn ambiguous problems into a clear plan, make practical tradeoffs, and keep teams focused on the work that matters most. - Not looking for someone who only manages from a distance or relies on generic leadership language. - Must have actually led backend or platform teams, improved operations, and worked in systems where correctness, reliability, and operational judgment matter. Qualifications - 8+ years of professional experience as a software engineer. - 3+ years of experience directly managing engineers, including coaching, performance feedback, and hiring involvement. - Experience leading backend or platform teams working on systems with real operational complexity. - Strong proficiency in Go, with hands-on experience building and maintaining production systems. - Technical depth to contribute to architecture discussions, challenge assumptions, and jump into the code when useful. - Experience navigating ambiguous problems and turning them into clear plans, priorities, and tradeoffs. - Good judgment around scope, sequencing, and risk, especially when work spans multiple stakeholders or competing demands. - A track record of being accountable for team output, not just individual contribution. - Experience in fintech, banking, infrastructure, developer tooling, or other regulated systems is strongly preferred. - Comfort working in environments where reliability, compliance, auditability, and operational risk matter. Requirements - Lead and develop engineers across multiple backend and platform teams, including coaching, performance feedback, hiring, and day-to-day prioritization. - Turn ambiguous work into a clear execution plan and keep that plan aligned with product, engineering, and business stakeholders. - Partner closely with engineers on architecture and technical tradeoffs across customer-facing products and shared platform services. - Stay close enough to the technical work to review approaches, unblock decisions, and contribute code when it makes sense. - Support teams building reliable backend and platform systems, including event-driven services, operational workflows, internal tooling, shared infrastructure, and data-intensive applications. - Improve how the team works by tightening scope, raising execution quality, and ensuring engineers have the context they need to move quickly. - Work cross-functionally with product, compliance, and other engineering teams to surface risks early and keep delivery grounded in business needs. - Help the team balance roadmap commitments with platform maintenance, operational responsibilities, and long-term investments in reliability, scalability, and engineering quality. Benefits - 100% employer paid medical, dental, and vision benefits for US and Canadian employees and dependents. - Employer contribution to HSA for US employees. - Annual HCSA and generous extended health care coverage for Canadian employees and dependents. - 401(k) for US employees and RRSP for Canadian employees. - Mental health resources available for all employees. - Unlimited paid time off. - Generous paid new parent leave program. - Home office setup stipend. - Stock options program for all employees. - Growth potential and opportunity to have a significant impact at an early stage of our company's journey. - Working alongside a skilled and passionate team.

Qualifications - 8 to 12 years of B2B marketing experience, with at least 2 to 3 years in a marketing leadership role owning a full-funnel function. - Deep familiarity with the embedded finance, banking-as-a-service, or payments infrastructure space; you understand how FinTech companies are built and what they actually care about when evaluating infrastructure partners. - Proven track record of owning marketing pipeline and revenue goals, with a data-driven approach to decision-making and optimization. - Strong writer and storyteller with the ability to translate complex, technical, and regulated subject matter into clear narratives for multiple audiences: founders, bank executives, developers, and investors. - Experience leading product launches end-to-end across cross-functional teams, with a clear process for managing timelines, stakeholders, and post-launch measurement. - Comfort working in a small, scrappy environment where you will set the strategy, write the copy, build the deck, and send the email.

How We Build At Synctera, engineers play a hands-on role in building and evolving our core platform. With smaller teams and fewer layers, engineers have real ownership over their work, move quickly from idea to execution, and contribute directly to technical decisions that matter. You’ll work on systems that must be reliable, secure, and scalable, while helping shape how the platform continues to grow and mature. It’s an environment designed for engineers who enjoy meaningful impact, autonomy, and solving complex problems in a regulated, real-world context. Our Stack Our platform is built in Go (for backend services) and React with Typescript (for the Synctera Console, our frontend). We’re built on top of Google Cloud Platform and typically use Postgres (Cloud SQL), Redis (Cloud Memorystore), and Pub/Sub as our core application stack, with OpenAPI specifications being used to both document our API and be the foundation for inter-service communication.

Our work spans three core areas: prevention, where we establish trust from day one through due diligence processes such as Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB), and account verification; detection, where we leverage real-time transaction monitoring to identify fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) risks; and compliance, where we support case management and regulatory reporting, including suspicious activity reports (SAR) and currency transaction reports (CTR). The role is highly autonomous, and the engineer will significantly influence the development of payment solutions for various use cases. This involves collaborating extensively with internal and external stakeholders, including Risk & Compliance (to ensure adherence to regulations), Operations (to streamline financial processes), and external partners like vendors, FinTechs, and Banks (to integrate and meet mutual business requirements). What You'll Do - Build and maintain scalable, reliable backend services in Go (Golang) - Ensure high availability and fault tolerance of critical financial services - Build integrations with third-party vendors - Find cleaner, simpler ways to solve technical problems and improve existing systems - Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to solve engineering problems - Partner with Product, Engineering, and operational teams to understand complex financial services challenges and design solutions - Identify and implement process improvements and development best practices that raise the bar for quality and efficiency - Advocate for and mentor software engineers in development best practices, fostering skill and knowledge-sharing across the team What You'll Bring - 5+ years of professional experience working as a Software Engineer - Experience with Go or a comparable structured and opinionated language - Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases - Experience with at least one major cloud provider, preferably Google Cloud - Experience in using and creating RESTful APIs - Nice to have: - Experience being a part of early-stage, fast-moving engineering teams - Experience working in FinTech, embedded finance, or payment systems We value authentic, personal communication.
