Job Openings Engineering Manager (LATAM, Remote)

About the job Engineering Manager (LATAM, Remote)

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a delivery engineering team at a US B2B SaaS company in fintech. You'll own how work gets from committed to shipped, and make sure that a defect fixed once stays fixed. This is a people leadership role with real technical depth, reporting to the Head of Engineering. It's fully remote from Latin America, with at least 4 hours of overlap with US Pacific time.

What you'll do

  • Lead and grow a team of 6 to 10 engineers across backend, frontend, full stack and AI, with weekly 1:1s, regular reviews and clear, timely feedback
  • Give a written capacity estimate before any delivery date is committed, and hold that number under commercial pressure
  • Track committed versus delivered every week, flag a slipping milestone early and bring a recovery plan
  • Own the defect lifecycle from triage to verified closure, including root cause and making sure fixed issues don't come back
  • Set and enforce engineering standards: code review, branch protection, definition of done, regression tests and the release process
  • Be the main engineering contact for Product, Sales and Customer Success on scope, timelines and status
  • Hire, onboard and ramp up new engineers

You may be a fit if

  • You have 5+ years of experience managing engineers as a people manager (1:1s, performance conversations, hiring), not only as a tech lead
  • You've worked in fintech or banking and have a track record of building systems at scale
  • You've held or renegotiated a delivery date under commercial pressure
  • You can describe a recurring defect pattern you found and closed for good
  • You're still hands-on enough to review a pull request, challenge an estimate and see what a change puts at risk
  • Your written and spoken English is strong, and you can explain status so non-technical people can act on it
  • You can work at least 4 hours overlapping with US Pacific time

Nice to have

  • Wealth management, RIA or financial data experience
  • Python/Django and PostgreSQL background
  • You've introduced delivery or quality process to a team that had little of it
  • You've managed a distributed team across countries

What we offer

  • Fully remote, full-time role
  • Real authority over process, standards and how the team works
  • A chance to build delivery and quality from the ground up, with visible impact on customers
