Engineering Manager — Canvas

Low-Code RAD Platform

Canvas is our low-code RAD platform where business teams configure banking products entirely through governed metadata — screens, rules, process flows, and integrations — instead of hardcoded logic. You'll lead the team building the visual editor and the services that turn a BA's canvas into reliable, production-grade execution.

Responsibilities

- Team Leadership & Mentorship: Build, mentor, and guide a high-performing team spanning frontend, backend, and platform engineering. Foster a culture of high ownership, psychological safety, and technical excellence.
- Technical Architecture: Drive the architectural vision for the Canvas platform. Make foundational decisions on visual-editor rendering performance (React Flow / WebGL / HTML5 Canvas), micro-frontend composition (Single-SPA across Angular and React), complex state management.
- Metadata & Execution Model: Own the design of the metadata-JSON contract between Producer and Consumer — including date-based (Stripe-style) versioning, maker-checker governance, and the publish/promotion boundary into Grid.
- Hands-on Technical Execution: Primarily a leadership role, but you'll participate in architectural design, code reviews, and step into the codebase to unblock the team on complex core logic (rendering, metadata resolution, workflow orchestration).
- Product Delivery: Partner closely with Product and Design to translate complex technical and regulatory constraints into seamless configurator experiences. Define technical roadmaps, manage sprint cycles, and ensure predictable, high-quality delivery.
- Project Delivery: Partner closely with Project teams for delivering and translate complex technical requirements to ensure predictable, high-quality delivery.

Required Qualifications
- Experience Leading Teams: 3+ years of engineering management, with a track record of shipping complex,



interactive web applications or SaaS products.
- Low-Code / RAD Expertise: Proven, hands-on background building low-code/no-code platforms, RAD tools, node-based visual editors, or workflow builders (e.g., Retool, n8n, Webflow).
- Frontend Mastery: Deep understanding of modern frontend architectures — micro-frontends (Single-SPA) composing Angular and React, complex state management (Zustand, Redux, NgRx), and performance optimization in browser-based visual tools.
- Backend & Orchestration: Solid grasp of the backend foundations for RAD tools — metadata/schema-driven execution engines and JSON config interpretation (over code-gen/AST approaches), Java/Spring Boot + Hibernate services, and workflow/durable-execution engines such as Camunda (BPMN) and Temporal.
- Systems Thinking: Ability to reason about system tradeoffs, API design, multi-tenancy and data synchronization between a highly interactive client and distributed backend systems.

Nice-to-Have
- Rule & Decision Engines: Experience with business rule engines / Decision-as-a-Service (our BRE) or policy-driven evaluation.
- Polyglot Integration Layers: Familiarity with Go + KrakenD gateways or similar high-throughput transformation/integration engines.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Experience implementing multiplayer, concurrent editing using CRDTs (Yjs, Automerge) or WebSockets.
- AI / Agentic Integration: Experience hooking visual logic builders into LLM inference APIs, multi-agent frameworks, or semantic routing tools.
- Graph Rendering: Direct experience with diagramming/graphing libraries (React Flow, XState, GoJS).
