About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Users and Accounts API team. The Users and Accounts team owns the foundational APIs that power user identity, account lifecycle management, KYC/AML workflows, and account configuration across DriveWealth's brokerage platform. These APIs are consumed by external partners and internal product teams alike, making them among the most critical and high-traffic services in our ecosystem.
In this role, you will serve as both a people leader and a technical owner for the Users and Accounts domain. You will drive the team's roadmap, prioritize initiatives based on partner needs and business impact, and ensure that the APIs your team owns are reliable, performant, well-documented, and easy for developers to integrate with.
This is a high-impact leadership role that requires strong technical judgment, deep understanding of API-first product development, and the ability to operate effectively in a regulated fintech environment where correctness, security, and compliance are non-negotiable.
