This Engineering Manager will report to our CTO to help WalletConnect build and scale the Financial Services engineering team: the team behind the value-added services packaged on top of the WalletConnect Network, spanning DeFi access, treasury management, and security & compliance.
You'll lead a cross-functional squad of engineers building systems where accuracy and reliability are paramount. You'll be accountable for the squad's delivery and technical outcomes: shaping the roadmap with your Product partner, keeping a high bar for quality and velocity, and holding the team to WalletConnect's engineering standards.
We believe great engineering managers were strong engineers first, and never stopped thinking like one. This is not primarily a hands-on coding role, but you'll have the technical depth to input on, understand, and challenge engineering decisions, and to get hands-on (in code, reviews, or design docs) when it helps, without becoming the team's bottleneck. Above all, you'll be the person who makes the team better: hiring well, coaching honestly, mediating clearly,



protecting focus, and caring about the humans doing the work.
Must Haves:
7+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years managing engineers; you were a strong engineer first, and you're technically credible with senior ICs.
Technical depth in building and operating distributed systems at scale; hands-on when needed, whether that's reviewing code, architecture, or technical documents.
A track record of building, growing, and retaining high-performing teams, and of genuinely caring about the people on them.
Experience leading remote-first, distributed teams.
Experience owning delivery of business-critical services where accuracy and reliability are paramount: trading, treasury, exchange, or financial infrastructure strongly preferred.
Structured and disciplined planning: you turn ambiguous goals into a predictable delivery cadence and hit the commitments you make.
Pragmatic decision-mak
