Engineering Manager, Product Engineering

What We Do

Rillet serves accounting and finance teams. Our customers are the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossible speed, accuracy, and insight.

Rillet is an AI-native ERP that can drive a zero-day close. We are different because of our unified source-of-truth data model, hundreds of best-in-class native integrations (Stripe, Ramp, Salesforce, etc), automated & auditable workflows, multi-entity consolidation, and quickly expanding army of specialized AI agents (e.g., accrual, audit, P&L flux, board decks, etc). These earn us a consistently perfect customer satisfaction score. High-growth AI customers like Mercor, and Function Health love our ship velocity, because their financial stack needs to scale as quickly as they do.

This huge market is ours to take. We have raised $100M from leading investors (including Sequoia, a16z, Iconiq, Oak HC/FT, and First Round) to help everyone run their numbers at the speed of AI.

Who We Are

Rillet’s pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility.

Successful Rilleteers do not wait for assignments. They internalize a mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for.

Work revolves around our customers. Successful Rilleteers are energized by delivering the most important things, even those that weren’t in the original plan.

In this role, you do not need to be an accountant. But you do need to appreciate the value that our customers can create for their own company when we equip them with the perfect financial tools. Successful Rilleteers love powering the financial core of the world’s fastest-growing companies.

Who We Need

Rillet's product engineering team is the engine behind everything our customers experience - and as our Engineering Manager, Product Engineering, you'll own it. You'll be owning a large part of our core product engineering team going through its next phase of growth. You're stepping in at a pivotal moment, with real scope to shape how the team is structured, how it operates, and where it goes.

We're looking for someone who is as excited about what gets built as how it gets built - a leader who drives engineering excellence, partners deeply across functions, and develops the team that ships what our customers love.

We're looking for teammates who value in-person collaboration and are within commutable distance of our San Francisco office (or willing to relocate). Team members work in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day.

What You'll Do

• Own product engineering for a large part of Rillet's engineering org - setting direction, shaping team structure, and making the organizational and architectural calls that unlock scale.

• Partner with product managers, designers, and subject matter experts to influence what we build, not just how we build it.

• Drive multiple high-stakes product initiatives from conception to launch, maintaining a high bar for quality and reliability.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a talented team of engineers, building the culture and craft standards that define great product engineering at Rillet.

• Recruit and onboard exceptional engineers who will help accelerate product development as we grow.

• Get hands-on with code during this critical growth phase, contributing directly to Rillet's product surface.

Who We're Looking For

• 4+ years managing product engineering teams at high-growth tech companies, with 6+ years in engineering overall

• Experience managing multiple teams simultaneously - whether through managers or technical leads - and comfortable operating at that level of organizational complexity

• Proven experience stepping into complex team situations and driving meaningful organizational change - you've done the hard work, not just the clean-slate builds

• Strong cross-functional collaborator who translates seamlessly between technical and non-technical stakeholders and moves fast in dynamic environments

• A culture carrier who sets a high bar and makes it contagious - you know what great looks like and help others rise to meet it

• Drawn to hard, ambiguous problems and energized by building in environments where you're figuring things out as you go

Bonus Points

• Experience scaling and subdividing engineering teams during periods of rapid growth

• Recent hands-on experience with Kotlin, Java, or TypeScript and solid CI/CD practices

• Background in fintech, ERP, or accounting software

• Familiarity with enterprise readiness (SOC 2, SSO/SAML, audit logging, or similar)

Life at Rillet:

• Competitive Pay & Benefits: Backed by world-class investors, we offer strong salaries plus equity so you share in our success. We've got you covered with top-tier health and dental insurance, premiums partially or fully covered for you, plus 90% coverage for dependents.

• Room to Grow: We're building a team of ambitious, high-performing people who will grow with the company. As Rillet scales, so will your role, responsibilities, and compensation.

• Flexibility That Works: Take the time you need with flexible PTO and 9 company-wide holidays. We value both the flexibility of remote and hybrid work and the creativity and energy that comes from in-person collaboration at our hubs in San Francisco, NYC, and Barcelona.
