Our Client Currently looking for Software Engineering Manager, Digital Identity — Access & Rights

What You’ll Do

• Lead and Grow Your Team: Lead and grow the team while maintaining or improving the team’s velocity. Manage performance with care and high standards, including the hard conversations.
• Drive Technical Strategy & Execution: Own the planning, technical output, and delivery for the Digital Identity – Access & Rights team. Own operational excellence for two Tier-0 platforms. Set and defend SLOs, while holding the on-call posture accountable, and treat production quality as a management responsibility, not an IC concern. Review design documents, push back on senior engineers when the architecture does not hold up, pair with your team in AI-augmented coding sessions, and ship production code when the situation demands it.
• Collaborate and Influence: Establish and leverage strong relationships across the department and cross-functional leadership teams, partnering closely with product and other engineering teams to integrate solutions and define product and technical strategy..
• Problem Solve and Innovate: Operate with a high degree of independence to solve ambiguous and complex technical problems. Drive initiatives from inception to completion, contributing to the long-term architectural vision and continuous improvement of the identity platform.
• Be a prolific writer: Write well, and use AI to write faster. You will personally own incident reviews, roadmap updates, as well as  promotion cases to shape the executive narrative for the platform.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience designing, building, and operating scalable, mission-critical backend systems, with 2+ years directly managing engineers.
• Proven track record running a high traffic Tier-0 or equivalent critical platform: defined SLOs, owned on-call, led major incident reviews, and drove measurable reliability improvements.
• Deep experience with platform-style engineering: API contracts, versioning, backward compatibility, consumer migration, and deprecation discipline. You have managed a platform team with many downstream consumers, not just a feature team.
• Active, daily user of modern AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalent). Concrete examples of how you have used AI to accelerate your own output or your team’s throughput.
• Demonstrated ability to drive outcomes across team boundaries without escalation authority. You have led multi-quarter initiatives that required alignment across three or more engineering orgs.
• Hands-on technical depth in Java or Kotlin, with practical knowledge of REST APIs, event-driven systems, and relational or key-value data stores. Comfortable in design reviews and code reviews. Willing to write production code when the team needs a tiebreaker.
• Excellent written communication. You have written TDDs, post-mortems, and roadmap updates that senior leaders trusted without needing translation.
• Bias for action: absorbs ambiguity and resolves it, escalates it upward when the situation warrants.

Nice to Haves

• Experience building agentic workflows, internal AI tooling, or LLM-powered developer productivity systems.
• Experience with OpenFGA, Zanzibar-style authorization, or graph platforms at scale.
• Experience in regulated environments, ideally fintech, with exposure to SOX, PCI, or similar controls.
• Familiarity with AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, DynamoDB, and Temporal.
• Prior work on multi-person or delegated access patterns (consumer & business banking, family accounts, custodial, trust relationships).
