Finkraft

Engineering Manager

Location: Bangalore | Experience: 12+ years | Full-time

About the Role

Finkraft is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers building production-grade, money-movement and compliance systems at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will set technical direction, review and contribute to architecture and code, and grow a team of engineers, while owning delivery, reliability, and quality for your area. You should be equally comfortable in a design review, a production incident, and a 1:1 about someone's career growth.

What You'll Do

- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of backend and full-stack engineers; own hiring, performance, and career development for your team.
- Set and enforce technical direction and architecture decisions across services, in partnership with senior engineers and other engineering managers.
- Stay hands-on — review designs and code, debug production issues, and step into implementation when needed.
- Own end-to-end delivery for your team's roadmap: scoping, sequencing, risk management, and shipping to production.
- Drive engineering practices — CI/CD, testing, code review, observability, and secure software development — across the team.
- Partner with product, compliance, and other engineering teams on integration architecture for payments, e-invoicing, and reconciliation systems.
- Own capacity planning and cloud cost accountability for your team's services.
- Champion AI-native engineering practices to increase team velocity and output quality.

Requirements

Languages and Runtimes

- Go and / or Python at production scale.
- Comfort moving between typed and dynamic languages.
- JavaScript / TypeScript familiarity for adjacent work.

Cloud and Infrastructure

- AWS in production — ECS / Fargate, Aurora PostgreSQL, SQS, Lambda, KMS, IAM, CloudWatch, S3.
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or CloudFormation).
- Comfort with cloud cost modelling and capacity planning.

Data and Storage

- PostgreSQL at depth — schema design, query performance, transactions.
- Redis for caching and queues.
- Event stores, message queues,



and the design choices between them.
- Familiarity with MongoDB or other NoSQL stores is useful.

Architecture

- Event-driven systems, API-first design, integration architecture, distributed systems.
- Microservices and modular monoliths — and the judgement to pick the right one.
- Idempotency, retries, audit trails, eventual consistency.

Domain Technology (Preferred)

- Payments systems, virtual card / VAN orchestration, settlement and reconciliation.
- E-invoicing (Peppol, UBL), ERP or accounting integrations.
- Identity and KYC flows, tax-tech, or comparable money-movement and compliance systems.

Engineering Practices

- CI / CD, DevSecOps, automated testing, code review.
- Observability and monitoring, secret management, dependency and container scanning.
- Track record of building these into a team from day one — not bolting them on later.

AI-Native Engineering

- Practical experience using tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Sonar, Semgrep, Playwright, and modern CI/CD workflows to accelerate development, testing, documentation, code review, and operations.
- A track record of creating engineering leverage for a team, not simply writing more code yourself.

Leadership Experience

- 12+ years of overall engineering experience, including prior experience managing or leading engineering teams.
- Demonstrated ability to balance hands-on technical depth with people management and delivery ownership.
- Strong communication skills for working across engineering, product, compliance, and business stakeholders.

Location

This role is based in Bangalore, India.
