About the job:

We are looking for a Manager Enterprise Application Engineering to join the OppFi Technology team. This role will report directly to the Sr Director Platform and Operations and lead a team of engineers in support of OppFi’s technology efforts.

What you get to do:

As an Enterprise Application Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of talented engineers, acting as their technical mentor and professional guide. Your mission is to be the trusted technology partner that transforms business operations by building a secure, scalable, and automated environment that empowers our employees, protects our data, and accelerates our business.

Team Leadership & Mentorship

Lead, mentor, and build a world-class team of Enterprise Application Engineers.
Be responsible for hiring, onboarding, performance management, and the career development of your direct reports.
Act as the "player-coach" and most senior technical expert for your team, capable of unblocking your engineers, leading complex architecture reviews, and troubleshooting the most challenging issues.
Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Strategy & Business Partnership

Develop and maintain the strategic roadmap for our enterprise application and integration architecture, ensuring it scales with the company's growth.
Act as the primary technical consultant and liaison for business leaders (e.g., Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations), understanding their needs and translating them into scalable, secure technology solutions.
Manage vendor relationships, software licenses, and budgets for your application stack, continuously evaluating new tools to maximize ROI and business value.

SaaS Management

Manage the entire Google Workspace ecosystem (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Groups), defining, configuring, and enforcing policies, rules, and OU structures.
Lead the architecture and administration of our Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence) guiding your team in building complex workflows and customizing projects for other engineering and business teams.
Design, build, and manage a SaaS Management Platform (SMP) to bring all OppFi SaaS applications under centralized management.
Proactively analyze license utilization across our entire SaaS portfolio to identify opportunities for cost savings, license reclamation, and contract consolidation.
Partner with Information Security and Enterprise Risk Management to conduct technical reviews for all new SaaS applications.

Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Serve as the top-level architect for our Identity and Access Management (IAM) program.
Design, build, and manage our centralized Identity Provider (IdP) as the single source of truth for all user identities.
Develop, deploy, and enforce Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies to ensure the principle of least privilege.

Integration & Automation

Champion an "automation-first" mindset.
Build and manage automated Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) workflows, ensuring employees are provisioned correctly on their start date and all access is instantly revoked upon termination.
Architect, build, and maintain robust integrations between our core business systems.
Be responsible for the reliability and integrity of data as it moves between integrated systems, including error handling and monitoring.

What you will bring to the team:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
7+ years in Enterprise Systems or Application Engineering, with a demonstrable focus on automation and integration.
At least 3+ years in a people management or technical lead role.
Deep architectural and administrative experience with Google Workspace in a large-scale (1000+ user) environment.
Deep architectural and administrative experience with the Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence), with the ability to design and implement complex workflows for both technical and business teams.
Expert-level, hands-on architectural experience with Okta (or a similar major IdP), with deep understanding of Universal Directory, Lifecycle Management (SCIM), complex policy creation, and SAML/OIDC integrations.
Architectural and administrative experience with Microsoft Active Directory in a large-scale (1000+ user) environment.
Proven, hands-on experience building and managing integrations; you are comfortable with REST APIs with demonstrable experience automating IT processes using scripting (e.g., Python, PowerShell).
A strategic thinker who can connect IT initiatives to business outcomes like revenue growth, cost reduction, and risk mitigation.
Excellent ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical executives and stakeholders.
A passion for mentoring engineers and a proven track record of developing talent.
