About this opportunity

Debtbook lists this Software Engineering Manager opportunity in charlotte, North Carolina. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.

Job description

DebtBook is an industry-leading fintech software platform that revolutionizes the way local government, higher education, and healthcare finance teams work. Our powerful, cloud-based software helps these organizations manage all aspects of their debt, cash, leases, and subscriptions, streamline financial reporting, and share information simply with others. We are passionate about modernizing treasury management and simplifying accounting compliance in the public sector, allowing organizations to break through operational barriers to unlock strategic insights.

HOW WE WORK

We have a Majestic Monolith of Ruby on Rails, React, and PostgreSQL. It is hosted in AWS, and we use GitLab for pipelines and deployments. We use feature flags to allow us to continually integrate our code.

We have a Ruby on Rails JSON API with a Single Page App using React, TypeScript, and MUI React.

Our engineers are full-stack.

We have a small dedicated infrastructure team.

Engineers collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and subject matter experts.

Engineering Managers aren't tied to particular products here. They manage engineers who are working on many different projects.

Managers coach engineers to lead planning, breakdown, and execution on projects.

Leaders don't do all the work, they do enough to know how to do it well, then they coach and delegate.

Engineers lead projects before they are Senior.

We don't expect perfect execution; we expect willingness to try new things and improvement over time.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Ramp up as an IC for your first 90 days. You'll ship code and be a technical lead on projects before taking on a team. This crash course is how you build the context to manage well here.

Stay hands-on so you can model good work, spot real problems, and ship alongside them when an extra hand is needed.

Identify and remove blockers, improve processes to help make your team more effective, and help us get better outcomes faster.

Get people aligned and committed around the work we need to do.

Get your team to work directly with others across the org. Don't shield your team from others.

Recruit engineers who help the team get better.

Own onboarding. The hard work doesn't stop after the offer is signed. Experienced hires should be highly productive, working independently, and leading work within 90 days.

Lead adoption of AI-assisted development. Use the tools yourself throughout the SDLC.

Effectively coach your engineers to avoid unnecessary complexity.

Be in the weeds enough to know what is going well and what isn't. Hold a high bar and give feedback quickly and directly.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

6+ years of software engineering experience

Experience getting results through your teammates — coaching and delegating to others

Experience with some of Ruby on Rails, React, and SQL

Experience with front-end, back-end, and databases

Experience using AI-assisted development in a real engineering workflow — or genuine enthusiasm to go deep quickly

Comfort operating in a high-growth environment where priorities shift and scope evolves

Experience driving significant change. You have owned or contributed to meaningful changes, whether in one push or over time.

WHY DEBTBOOK

DebtBook is a fast-growing company where we dream big, move fast, make an impact, and bring joy to everything we do. Our core values drive our success as an organization, and we are looking for talented teammates who share our passion for challenging the status quo, innovating in all we do, and wanting to make a difference.
