The Anchorage Digital Brokerage business is a rapidly growing product line, expanding into new asset classes and markets globally, with high visibility across the organization. We are seeking a highly skilled Engineering Manager to collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to deliver high-quality software at a rapid pace. In this role, your focus will be on hiring top-tier engineers, mentoring team members to achieve their career goals, and driving processes that maintain and enhance team performance.

To support these efforts, we've outlined our Factors of Growth and Impact framework to help Villagers measure their impact, foster learning, and master their capabilities:

Technical Skills:

Refine engineering roadmap, drive operational excellence, and create technology strategy for your team.
Showcase your expertise and judgement in tackling complex and ambiguous challenges, delivering scalable solutions.
Focus on and prioritize the health, happiness, personal/professional progression of every member on your team.

Complexity and Impact of Work:

You lead a team of Engineers and take responsibility for their quality of execution, timeliness of delivery, impact, and growth.
Be a mentor and advisor, providing coaching and feedback that levels up all those on your team.

Organizational Knowledge:

Take ownership over the personal and professional growth of a single team.
Work closely with Product Managers to define investment in our products, ensuring harmony between our product plans, the bandwidth of the team, the realities of the technical landscape, and your plans for the growth and structure of the team.

Communication and Influence:

Work with other engineering managers, product management, people/recruiting, and the rest of engineering to drive team growth, retention, and hiring moving forward.
Have a material influence on not only what Anchorage builds but who builds it, taking ownership for the growth planning, recruiting and performance management of a team of Engineers.

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

You have experience in financial trading systems (i.e. front office, middle office, and/or back office roles), with domain knowledge of how these systems differ from traditional database-backed, request-response systems like standard web applications.
You have real-world experience building, maintaining, and operating financial trading systems, with an understanding of the operational demands of a trading system that operates 24x7x365. Our crypto markets never close, and our trading systems need to support high availability and healthy operational procedures to maintain customer trust.
8+ years of technical experience as a full-time software engineer.
3+ years of leadership experience as a formal people manager, with demonstrated success in managing, mentoring, and growing geographically distributed teams across varying time zones.
You have experience leading distributed teams and working cross-functionally to drive results.
You enjoy building services from scratch and supporting them over a meaningful period of time, with a focus on code quality and test infrastructure.
You’ve maintained a “player-coach” skillset and feel comfortable conducting live technical programming interviews, reviewing pull requests, and helping your team grow.
You’ve developed strong computer science fundamentals (i.e., concurrency, algorithms, and data structures), though a formal CS degree is not required.
You genuinely enjoy learning new things and have a proven track record of diving below the surface when faced with uncertainty, understanding the “why” and the “how,” not just the “what.”
You self-describe as creative, humble, ambitious, detail-oriented, hard-working, trustworthy, eager to learn, methodical, action-oriented, and tenacious.

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

You have professional experience with Go, GCP, GraphQL or gRPC.
