Engineering Manager, Verifications

Engineering Manager, Verifications

What you’ll do

• Lead and grow the Verifications engineering team — setting technical direction, driving performance and career development conversations, and building a hiring pipeline that strengthens the team over time
• Own the reliability and quality of a broad portfolio of fulfillment integrations — partnering closely with vendors and internal stakeholders to reduce friction, improve turnaround times, and minimize candidate and customer impact when issues arise
• Partner with Product to define and execute the roadmap across employment, education, drug and health, and compliance products — translating customer and regulatory requirements into clear engineering priorities
• Drive technical strategy for scaling a complex, integration-heavy system — making deliberate architecture decisions that improve coverage, reduce manual exceptions, and build toward a more automated and consistent verification experience
• Lead the team's adoption of AI-assisted development practices — helping engineers move faster while maintaining the quality and accuracy standards that a regulated, data-sensitive product requires
• Represent Verifications in cross-functional planning — serving as the engineering voice on team capacity, tradeoffs, and roadmap sequencing with Product, Compliance, and Engineering leadership

What you bring

• 4+ years as an engineering manager, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams
• 8+ years as a software engineer, with strong command of service architecture, distributed systems, and system design
• Experience managing complex third-party integration environments — you’re comfortable owning reliability across systems you don’t fully control, and know how to structure teams and processes around that reality
• A track record of improving operational metrics — reducing incident frequency, improving detection time, or shipping reliability improvements in high-stakes production environments
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development and agentic coding tools — you understand how to help your team adopt these responsibly and can reason about the tradeoffs between velocity and quality they introduce
• Experience working on regulated products where data accuracy and legal compliance are non-negotiable
• Strong incident management skills — you can lead both the technical response and the stakeholder communication when things go wrong
• Ability to make prioritization decisions quickly, with a clear framework for balancing short-term reliability work against longer-term product investments
• Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders — Product, Operations, Compliance, and senior leadership
• A genuine investment in developing people — through career conversations, stretch assignments, and creating conditions for engineers to grow
• Humility, openness to feedback, and eagerness to learn
• An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes
