Senior Engineering Manager (AI Accounting & Ledger Systems)

Join our team as a Senior Engineering Manager for the financial core of our revenue cycle product. You will manage a team of 6 to 8 engineers, set the roadmap with your product partner, and own financial correctness across the platform. You will also lead multi-quarter migrations, own the customer relationship, and run cross-team execution. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience managing software engineers, has shipped financial or data-intensive systems in production, and has a background in healthcare RCM, billing, practice management, or fintech.

Manage and grow a team of engineers, overseeing hiring, performance, and career development.

You move fast on incomplete information and reset timelines honestly when the work turns out bigger than expected

You've shipped financial, reporting, or data-intensive systems in production where the numbers had to tie. You know how a report can be technically correct and still wrong to the person reading it
