About the job

⚡ Engineering Manager – Private Investment Automation Platform

🌍 New York, NY (On-site, 5 days)

💲 Competitive Base + Series B Equity

The Company

Storm2’s client is a Series B FinTech modernizing how private investments get managed. Venture, private equity, hedge funds: a big and fast-growing share of the money invested worldwide that, for the most part, still runs on spreadsheets, shared drives, and email threads, with all the manual errors and lost data that implies. They pull it into a single platform with clean, standardized data, documents, and insights, count major US banks and institutions among their customers, and have grown at a serious pace every year since launch.

The Role

This is a genuine people-plus-technical role, not a manager who’s been quietly moved off the tools and told to run standups. You’ll lead and grow an engineering team while staying close enough to the work to hold your own in architecture debates, code reviews, and the real trade-off conversations.

The reason it’s interesting right now is the growth. A company doubling every year doesn’t have settled processes, it has processes that keep breaking as the team outgrows them, and part of this job is fixing that: sprint planning, on-call, incident response, the things that decide whether velocity holds up as headcount climbs. Alongside that you’ll be building out the core platform and new offerings, a lot of which comes down to automating operational processes that are genuinely complex under the hood.

The people who do well here are the ones who take coaching and team growth seriously and treat it as the actual job, not overhead that gets in the way of shipping. If you’ve built and kept a strong team together through a fast-scaling stretch and you know how much deliberate work that takes, this will land.

What you’ll be working on:

• Leading, mentoring, and growing a high-performing engineering team
• Supporting technical and career growth through regular feedback, coaching, and goal-setting
• Partnering with product, design, and data to scope, prioritize, and ship complex projects on time
• Driving the buildout of the core platform and new offerings, including automating complex operational workflows
• Spotting and prioritizing the infrastructure and process improvements that lift team velocity and quality

What you’ll bring:

• 6+ years in software engineering, with 2+ years managing and growing teams
• A real track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers
• Enough technical depth to engage meaningfully on architecture, reviews, and trade-offs
• Experience working with product and design to deliver complex projects to deadline
• Communication that translates cleanly between technical and business, up to leadership and across functions

Nice to have:

• FinTech or investment platform experience
• Scaling an engineering team through rapid growth at a startup or high-growth company
• A background in building engineering processes: sprint planning, on-call, incident response, developer productivity
