Role overview

Termgrid is building the category-defining operating system for private capital markets, trusted by 4 of the top 5 global private equity firms, 1,600+ institutions, and 30,000+ professionals. As Engineering Manager, you will sit at the intersection of people, product, and process, reporting directly to the CTO with meaningful influence over how the company builds for the next decade.

Responsibilities

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 6–12 software engineers across frontend, backend, and platform — fostering a culture of craft, accountability, and psychological safety.
Own the engineering delivery pipeline: sprint planning, roadmap alignment, dependency mapping, and stakeholder communication — ensuring commitments are met without burning out the team.
Partner closely with product, design, and data teams to translate complex financial workflows into well-scoped engineering problems, and back again into polished product experiences.
Drive hiring decisions: sourcing, evaluating, and onboarding exceptional engineers who raise the bar for the entire team.
Establish and champion engineering best practices — code review standards, testing culture, incident response, on-call health, and documentation quality.
Identify and resolve bottlenecks in architecture, process, or team dynamics — escalating technical risk with clarity and proposing actionable paths forward.
Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations that keep your engineers growing and engaged.
Represent engineering in cross-functional leadership forums — bridging the gap between what's technically possible and what the business needs to move.

Requirements

8+ years in software engineering, with at least 2 years in an engineering management or tech lead role at a product-driven company.
Hands-on background in backend or full-stack development — you understand tradeoffs in system design and can engage credibly in technical discussions.
Track record of growing engineers, navigating performance challenges, and building teams that consistently ship quality software under pressure.
Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment. You balance moving fast with building systems that scale — and you know when to do which.
Exceptional written and verbal communication — from design docs to board updates, you tailor your message for every audience.
