ABOUT ROCKET MONEY🔮
Rocket Money’s mission is to empower people to live their best financial lives. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.
ABOUT THE TEAM 🤝
The Rocket Money Engineering team is comprised of full-stack problem solvers, infrastructure builders, accessibility advocates, quality champions, systems thinkers, musicians, woodworkers, writers, actors, and more.
We’re building a rapidly-growing financial platform that helps millions of people to live their best financial lives. Our engineering team has met numerous technical challenges, from accommodating rapid growth, securely ingesting billions of financial transactions, to building a best-in-class mobile application that has been the #1 finance app in the App Store. Our work is impactful – in just a few years, we’ve helped millions of people to collectively save more than $1 billion.
We’re growing our team, and are looking for an Engineering Team Leader who can help us take our platform to the next level leading our Cloud Infrastructure team. In this role, you will oversee the development and maintenance of our core infrastructure, ensuring that our systems are scalable, reliable, and efficient. You will lead a team of engineers, fostering their growth and ensuring the delivery of high-quality solutions.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL:
Lead a highly-skilled cloud architecture team focused on maintaining our cloud platform, including our deployment flows, application environments, and security controls.
Act as a player-coach on the team, driving architectural reviews & working alongside engineers to solve technical challenges.
Create OKRs that reflect the business value derived from a deeply-technical group of high performing engineers. You are the acting product manager & engineering leader for this team, so balancing the needs of our engineering team & wider business is critical.
Be accountable for making, measuring, and delivering on team commitments, as well as pivoting when necessary in order to keep the team focused on the most impactful work.
Work with a high level of autonomy and know when to escalate concerns or collect feedback. You’ll own day-to-day decisions and have space to iterate on team norms and processes.
Foster strong working relationships with cross-functional counterparts (in areas such as Developer Experience, Platform, and Information Security) where problems are addressed directly, and decisions are made based on what’s best for our users, team members, and the business.
Support and grow a team of highly-skilled engineers through regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and mentorship.
Proactively identify trends via monitoring and alerting systems, performing root-cause analysis to isolate and resolve issues.
ABOUT YOU 🦄
You have 5+ years of experience in cloud architecture and DevOps, with a focus on containerized developer platforms (such as ECS or Kubernetes).
You have 2+ years of experience managing an engineering team.
You’re comfortable identifying, owning, and solving problems from end to end, across domains. You get excited when you need to learn something new to figure out a solution.
You lead by example. You take pride in building robust architecture, and provide tools and mentoring to help others do the same.
You’re pragmatic and empathetic. You seek to understand how performance issues impact users, and how process-changes impact engineers. You seek to align your team’s efforts towards business outcomes, and strive to make that alignment engaging, exciting, and achievable.
You can tailor your management style to suit your team members, identifying where some people might succeed with a more hands-off approach than others.
You're familiar with the principles of 'Infrastructure as Code' (Terraform experience is a plus!), having used it to deploy resources to multiple environments.
You shy away from manual work/processes and try to automate things whenever possible. Doubly so if it enables others to be more productive in their daily work.
You are an engineer by trade, with a history of shipping production code and designing distributed systems to work at scale.
Experience with FinTech or consumer apps is a plus.
