Engineering Manager, Trading Platform
Topstep
Role Description Topstep is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team within Trading Platform, the organization that builds and runs TopstepX. The platform spans order flow and execution, market data, and the services and integrations behind them — real-time systems thousands of funded traders rely on every day, where availability, performance, and correctness matter. This is a people-leadership role: you'll be accountable for your team's reliability, quality, and delivery, and for the health and day-to-day running of the team itself — partnering with senior engineers, other engineering leads, Product, and operations. Occasional hands-on work is welcome but isn't expected. Key Responsibilities - Run the Team: - Set direction and standards. - Set the hiring bar and run the interview process to keep the team well-staffed. - Plan capacity and shape how it operates day to day. - Lead and Develop the Team: - Run 1:1s, real-time feedback, and performance reviews. - Coach engineers toward individualized growth and address performance issues early. - Build a culture of psychological safety, transparency, agency, and high standards. - Drive Reliability and Operational Excellence: - Be accountable for the availability, performance, and resilience of the team's systems. - Ensure engineering process, on-call health, incident follow-through, and observability and tooling (APM, tracing, synthetic/health checks). - Drive Delivery: - Be accountable for the team's delivery cadence and outcomes. - Influence the roadmap to include the technical-investment and reliability work the systems need. - Partner across the Org: - Collaborate as a peer with the team's senior engineers and other engineering leads. - Work with Product, peer Engineering Managers, and operations and infrastructure partners. - Keep leadership informed on progress, risks, and trade-offs. Qualifications - 7+ years of software engineering experience, including production systems, integrations, and operations. - 2+ years of engineering management experience — hiring, setting direction, coaching, and developing engineers across levels. - A track record of delivering complex technical work at quality, balancing feature delivery against reliability and technical investment. - Experience leading teams that own production systems — on-call, incident response, and reliability. - A track record of building inclusive, collaborative cultures grounded in psychological safety, agency, and continuous learning. - Technical credibility to guide architecture and trade-off decisions for backend and distributed systems. - Hands-on background with .NET/C# and distributed systems, plus AWS and containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). - Excellent communication across technical and non-technical audiences. - A data-informed approach to team health, delivery, and reliability. - Comfortable leading through shifting priorities and balancing the team's capacity against what the business needs. Preferred - Trading, fintech, or other regulated financial environments — futures or trading-platform experience is a plus. - High-availability, low-latency, or real-time systems. - Microservices and real-time messaging (e.g., WebSocket/SignalR). - Cloud operations / infrastructure and on-call. - CI/CD tooling (e.g., Argo CD, GitHub Actions). Benefits - Seven Company-paid Holidays and generous Family Leave. Paid time off is front-loaded. - Competitive 401(k) matching, health, dental, and vision insurance is offered for full-time employees. - Vacations are encouraged with a bonus for taking 5 consecutive days. - Employee referrals are bonused. - Topstep offers a food and groceries budget and contributes towards health and wellness. New Hire Base Salary Range $190,000 - $230,000. This position is eligible for a performance-based bonus as provided by the plan terms and governing documents. The compensation offered will take into account internal compensation structure and may vary depending on the candidate's geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. Equal Opportunity Employer Topstep is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all employees and applicants are valued. All qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status, in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws.

About the Role As a Senior Engineering Manager on the Enterprise Platform, you will lead one or more senior engineering teams responsible for core platform capabilities that the rest of SailPoint builds on. These teams own backend services, APIs, data stores, and the distributed systems that power the Atlas Platform at scale.

You will work closely with Product Management, Design, Architecture, Quality, DevOps, and customer-facing teams. You should proactively seek alignment with other engineering teams and stakeholders by deeply understanding your team's technology, building strong relationships, and insisting on high-quality solutions. You will report to a Senior Director of Engineering.

Requirements · 8+ years in a Software Engineering Management role on backend services exposing APIs. · 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Software Engineer. · Deep knowledge of complex, scaling SaaS products, agile processes and workflows, and experience implementing them. · Technical fluency at the architectural level, enabling easy discussions with engineers and the ability to challenge technical decisions. · Experience with microservice architecture and distributed systems that utilize load balancing, horizontal scalability, and high availability. · Experience across a modern backend stack, such as polyglot services (Java, Go, Rust), event-driven and workflow-orchestration systems (Kafka, SQS, Temporal), and relational and NoSQL data stores (MySQL, DynamoDB). · Extensive experience architecting, designing, and operating applications in an AWS cloud environment. · Experience supporting and developing containerized CI/CD deployment such as Docker and Kubernetes. · BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience. Roadmap and Timeline to Success Within the first 30 days you will: · Onboard into your new role and get familiar with our product offering, platform, and technology. · Get to know your engineers and leads, understand what motivates them, and identify their areas of development. · Take ownership of your team's operating cadence, planning, standups, and retrospectives, so you have a direct, firsthand read on the team's work and its status. · Seek to deeply understand the business problems and common engineering challenges your team owns, and begin forming your own view of them. · Interview stakeholders to understand business goals, the product roadmap, and the challenges ahead. By 90 days you will: · Motivate, encourage, and challenge your team(s) to find optimal synergy. · Understand the technical challenges ahead and actively participate in technical decision-making. · Understand your team's decision-making process and challenge them to find more optimal solutions. · Know the real status of your team's critical-path work at any time, without needing it surfaced for you. · Have regular syncs with your stakeholders and own the cross-team commitments your team has made. · Be implementing fast, iterative improvements to delivery and quality. By 6 months you will: · Be making significant, measurable progress on technical debt while balancing new feature delivery and defect resolution. · Have a team that is consistently delivering on its commitments by deadline. · Have earned the trust of your team and become a respected partner to your stakeholders. · Be attracting and motivating excellent engineers who care about great teams and great software. · Have your personal goals on track. By 1 year you will: · Have a team whose size and skills are aligned to your roadmap and operating efficiently. · Have a team consistently achieving real business results and incremental milestones. · Maintain a culture of continuous learning by coaching and developing your engineers along their chosen career paths. · Consistently use data to objectively measure impact and optimize engineering processes. · Consistently meet deadlines and coordinate with technical team members to deliver quality results.
