Engineering Manager
Senior Engineering Manager
Location: US and Canada
About Us
Finite State is securing the connected world by protecting the software supply chains that power our critical infrastructure. Our platform helps security and development teams identify, prioritize, and remediate risk in embedded and enterprise software at scale.
We operate in a deeply technical, rapidly evolving space, and we hire people who thrive on solving complex problems with curiosity, pragmatism, and impact.
The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager who thrives at the intersection of technical depth, people leadership, and product execution. You’ll lead a distributed team of engineers building core infrastructure and customer-facing features for our software supply chain security platform.
This isn’t a pure people management role—we expect you to stay close to the code, architecture, and delivery. You’ll guide engineers through ambiguity, scale systems, and foster a culture of autonomy, ownership, and growth.
What You’ll Do
Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team (5–8 engineers), driving execution and technical excellence
Own delivery of complex features and systems across the stack—back end, infrastructure, and security
Drive architecture decisions and technical direction in collaboration with Staff+ engineers and Product
Champion reliability, scalability, and performance across our platform and tooling
Partner with cross-functional leaders in Product, Security, and Design to build secure, user-centric solutions
Help engineers navigate trade-offs between speed and safety in a regulated, security-conscious environment
Contribute to hands-on design reviews, technical spikes, and occasional code contributions
Foster a team culture grounded in psychological safety, continuous learning, and engineering rigor
You’re a Great Fit If You
Have 5+ years of engineering experience with at least 2+ years managing developers in high-trust teams
Bring technical depth in modern back-end technologies (e.g., Python, Go, Java, TypeScript) and infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Docker, K8s, CI/CD)
Have worked in cloud-native or security-sensitive environments, ideally in enterprise, SaaS, or developer tooling
Know how to balance shipping fast with building resilient systems
Are deeply familiar with software quality practices, including automated testing and observability
Can speak both the language of engineers and of business outcomes
Thrive in distributed teams and have excellent async communication habits
Have experience leading teams that use or build with AI/ML, LLMs, or developer AI tooling (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.)—a strong plus
Why Finite State?
Mission-driven team protecting the software that runs the physical world
Remote-first, async-friendly culture built for deep work and autonomy
Technically rigorous environment with engineers you’ll learn from
Collaborative team that ships impactful, secure, production-ready code
Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits for you and your family
Our Stack
We work primarily in Python, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, AWS, and Terraform. Experience with these is a bonus—but not required.
How We Hire
We believe hiring is a two-way door. Our process includes technical discussions, real-world problem solving, and space for you to ask the hard questions. No gotchas. No leetcode. Just thoughtful, relevant conversations.
