Engineering Manager

NMI is a company that enables partners with choice in payments, and they are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead multiple software teams. The role focuses on team development, managing technical direction, and driving change, particularly in adopting new AI tools.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and develop multiple teams of engineers across a wide seniority range, supporting their growth, performance, and career direction
• Lead blended teams of contractors and full-time staff, keeping each group focused, healthy, and productive
• Lead the teams through change — including driving AI tool adoption and challenging engineers to adapt how they work
• Set and defend direction on technical debt and platform investment, balancing long-term health against delivery pressure
• Act as a sounding board for tech leads — pressure-test their thinking and challenge over-engineering or over-thinking before it costs the teams time
• Partner with Product Owners and tech leads to keep delivery aligned, realistic, and well-prioritized
• Manage stakeholder relationships, communicating team capacity, progress, and trade-offs clearly
• Recruit and retain strong engineers, and build teams people want to work on

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent industry experience
• Proven experience managing software engineers, including senior engineers and a mix of contractors and full-time staff
• Experience delivering software in a regulated, security-conscious environment such as payments or financial services (familiarity with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, or CCPA is an advantage)
• A track record of leading teams through change, including adopting new tools and ways of working
• Enough technical depth to credibly challenge architecture and engineering decisions — though this is not a coding or code-review role
• A track record of leading through influence: guiding tech leads and POs rather than directing the work yourself
• Experience working with remote and globally distributed teams
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills
