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 energetic 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.
