As an Engineering Manager (f/m/d) at LIQID, you will lead and scale engineering teams that are democratizing access to wealth management solutions previously reserved for UHNW individuals. You will own the technical vision and execution for critical parts of our digital platform that manages over €3.5 billion in assets, from our client-facing applications to our sophisticated wealth management platform.
Our tech stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Hono, React/React Native, PostgreSQL, Redis, and GCP.
While experience with our exact stack is beneficial, we are more interested in your ability to lead teams building scalable, secure financial systems and your excitement about working in a highly regulated fintech environment.
You align engineering efforts with product and business goals to ensure that we deliver features that delight clients and scale sustainably. You empower your team to move fast without compromising on quality, establish best practices, and contribute to shaping LIQID’s technical vision and engineering culture.
Enable and empower your team by driving high-level technical, architectural and strategic decisions
Align closely with Product, Design, and other Engineering Managers to define and execute the product roadmap
Foster a high-performance engineering culture that values autonomy, ownership, and continuous improvement
Identify and lead initiatives to continuously improve scalability, developer experience, and delivery processes across teams
Lead and develop engineers through regular feedback, career planning, mentoring and performance management
You have 10+ years of software engineering experience with at least 3+ years leading engineering teams in a fast-paced environment, preferably in fintech, digital banking, or investment platforms.
You bring deep expertise in building and scaling distributed systems, with hands-on experience in TypeScript/JavaScript or languages like Go, Python or Kotlin/Java.
You have architected and operated highly available, secure systems handling sensitive financial data with experience in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
You understand modern frontend and backend architectures, having worked with frameworks like React, React Native, Node.js, or similar, and relational databases like PostgreSQL, or Redis.
You have a proven track record of building and mentoring diverse engineering teams, helping engineers grow from junior to senior levels while maintaining high technical standards.
You excel at technical communication, translating complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and advocating for engineering needs at the leadership level.
Building the future of wealth management excites you: You understand that we are not just building software, we are democratizing access to investment opportunities that can transform financial futures.
You balance technical excellence with business impact: You make pragmatic architectural decisions that consider both long-term scalability and immediate business needs.
You’re comfortable with ambiguity and scale: From building MVPs to scaling systems handling billions in assets, you adapt your leadership style to what the business needs. You can switch context between strategic planning and debugging production issues.
You lead by example technically: While you won't code full-time, you stay close to the codebase, participate in architecture reviews, and can jump into critical technical decisions. Your team respects you because you understand their challenges deeply.
You build bridges, not silos: You actively collaborate with other engineering teams, Product, Design, and Investment teams. You understand that our success depends on breaking down barriers between disciplines.
You’re passionate about engineering culture: You contribute to building LIQID's engineering brand through technical blogs, conference talks, open source contributions, or mentoring in the broader tech community.
Diversity: Flat hierarchies and cultural openness make you an integral part of our diverse team of international talents from day one.
Flexibility: We don’t complicate your life. You’ll find the right balance with flexible work models, working hours, and remote work options. 28 days of vacation and two additional days off on December 24 and 31 ensure you have ample time to unwind.
Appreciation: You’ll help shape the future of digital wealth management with us in an innovative, multi-award-winning company on a growth trajectory, with high market relevance and plenty of space for your ideas.
Development: We support your personal and professional growth with an annual development budget up to €3,000. Additionally, at the start of your tenure at LIQID, you’ll receive high-quality equipment, including a MacBook, headphones, and a display.
Smart Money: As a LIQIDian, you'll enjoy attractive terms for our investment strategies, a monthly lunch allowance, and exclusive discounts with various providers.
Well-being: Regional organic products keep you fit in the office, and our health initiatives or Health Assistance Program go far beyond that.
An excellent candidate, experience and transparency are our top priorities in the interview process. The different stages help us understand how a potential collaboration could look.
Initial Call with our Talent Partner: A casual introduction and discussion to align your expectations with the role.
Video Call with Head of Engineering and/or CTO: You will learn more about the performance expectations and specific role requirements from our leadership team.
