Senior Engineering Manager (Risk Engineering)

Join Imprint as a Senior Engineering Manager in Risk Engineering. You will own the systems that execute real-time risk decisions, including transaction authorization and fraud scoring. You will lead a strong team of senior engineers, prioritize cross-functional requests, and make vendor decisions that hold up in production. You should have 5+ years of engineering management experience, a strong technical foundation, and experience in risk, fraud, underwriting, or payments is a plus.

Experience using AI tools to stay close to technical work (investigating codebases, assessing feasibility, bringing clarity to asks), or genuine enthusiasm to adopt them

This is a backend team. We don't expect every candidate to match every bullet. If you're excited about what we're building and confident you can contribute, we'd love to talk

About Imprint

You've managed through periods of rapid growth, ambiguity, or significant technical change, and your teams came out stronger

Responsibilities

• Assumer la responsabilité de la conception, des tests et de l'exploitation des systèmes d'autorisation en temps réel et de décision de fraude.
• Diriger l'équipe dans la gestion de l'ensemble du pipeline de souscription, en veillant à ce qu'il puisse absorber de nouvelles politiques et de nouvelles sources de données.
• Évaluer les capacités des fournisseurs, peser le choix entre construire ou acheter, et s'opposer aux approches qui ne survivront pas à la charge de production.

Requirements

• A strong technical foundation: you were a strong engineer before moving into management, and you've maintained technical credibility through hands-on engagement or modern AI tools
• You communicate with clarity and directness in writing, in 1:1s, in rooms with executives, and in rooms with engineers
• You've owned latency-sensitive, high-availability distributed systems in production, where the cost of a wrong decision is measured in real dollars
• 5+ years of engineering management experience, with a track record of building, developing, and retaining strong engineering teams
• You've managed Staff-level ICs and helped senior engineers grow into bigger roles
• Experience in risk, fraud, underwriting, or payments is a plus
• You drive delivery through your team, not around them. You know how to scope work, set priorities, and create the conditions for engineers to do their best work
