Engineering Manager

Job description

OUR COMPANY Arch is a Series B financial technology company that automates the management of private investments, improving access, understanding, and the human experience of investing across asset classes. Private investments such as venture capital, hedge funds, and private equity, make up roughly 25% of the investment universe. Traditionally, investors, advisors, banks, families, and managers track hundreds of investments in complicated spreadsheets, file folders, and busy inboxes. Not only is this tedious and time-consuming, but it is rife with opportunity for manual data entry errors, inconsistent reporting, and lost information. Enter, Arch. Arch delivers standardized data, documents, and insights in a single platform, avoiding the need to chase information across dozens or hundreds of ‘portals’. Our purpose is to save investors’ time while empowering them to make more informed investment decisions, leading to better financial outcomes. We are a fast-growing, dynamic team of 200+, serving over 400 clients, including several of America’s largest banks, families, and financial institutions. We’ve over doubled the size of the company every year since inception and we are looking to hire in all departments as we scale. THE ROLE: As an Engineering Manager, you'll lead and grow a high-performing engineering team while helping build Arch's core platform and new offerings. This is a critical role at the intersection of people leadership and technical execution. Your work will directly shape engineering culture, team velocity, and the technology that powers our clients' investment experience. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL INCLUDE: - Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team, fostering a collaborative and innovative culture. - Support team members' technical and professional growth through regular feedback, coaching, and goal setting. - Partner with product, design, and data teams to scope, prioritize, and deliver complex projects on time. - Drive the buildout of Arch's core platform and new offerings, including automating complex operational processes. - Identify and prioritize infrastructure and process improvements that increase team velocity and engineering quality. REACH OUT TO US IF YOU HAVE: - 6+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years managing and growing engineering teams. - A track record of building high-performing teams — hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers. - Strong technical foundations that allow you to engage meaningfully in architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical trade-offs. - Experience partnering with product and design to scope, prioritize, and deliver complex projects on time. - Excellent communication skills — you can translate between technical and business contexts and represent your team's work to leadership and cross-functional partners. BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE: - Experience in the fintech space or working on investment platforms. - Prior experience scaling an engineering team through a period of rapid growth at a startup or high-growth company. - Background in building or improving engineering processes — sprint planning, on-call rotations, incident response, or developer productivity initiatives.
