Engineering Manager, Product Engineering

About the Position

The Product Engineering team at TRM builds the core customer‑facing experiences that power our platform. As an Engineering Manager, Product Engineering, you will lead a multidisciplinary pod of frontend, backend, and full‑stack engineers responsible for shipping highly visible, workflow‑heavy product features used by customers every day.

This role blends people leadership, technical judgment, and execution ownership. You’ll partner closely with Product and Design to translate complex requirements into intuitive, scalable product experiences—moving quickly from idea to impact in a fast‑paced environment.

The Impact you’ll have here

• Lead and develop a pod of engineers across frontend, backend, and full‑stack disciplines.
• Own execution of key product initiatives end‑to‑end, from scoping through delivery and iteration.
• Partner closely with Product and Design on roadmap planning, trade‑offs, and prioritization.
• Drive predictable delivery while maintaining high standards for quality, reliability, and maintainability.
• Provide technical leadership through design reviews, architectural discussions, and unblocking engineers.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with other engineering teams to ensure smooth integrations and shared ownership.
• Establish strong engineering fundamentals: clear documentation, observability, testing, and operational rigor.
• Foster a culture of ownership, velocity, and clear communication.

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science or a related field.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience and 2–5+ years of people‑management experience.
• Proven success leading multidisciplinary engineering teams (frontend + backend).
• Strong product engineering background with experience shipping user‑facing workflows or product surfaces.
• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces and move quickly with incomplete information.
• Technical grounding that allows you to evaluate designs, review code, and guide architectural decisions.
• Excellent communication skills and strong cross‑functional partnership instincts.

Nice to Have

• Experience scaling or evolving product engineering pods.
• Background in B2B or enterprise software.
• Experience with data‑rich, workflow‑heavy, or real‑time products.
• Familiarity with event‑driven systems or complex integrations.
