Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Bankrate is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a small engineering team and deliver reliable software for its financial products. The role combines people development, delivery ownership, and hands-on technical contribution in a regulated, money-touching domain.

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of 2–4 engineers (junior through senior), owning their day-to-day management, growth, and performance
• Own sprint-to-sprint delivery — planning, prioritization, sequencing, and honest communication of scope, timeline, and risk
• Manage individual performance and development through regular 1:1s, actionable feedback, career growth conversations, and the harder conversations when they’re needed
• Contribute hands-on to the codebase where it adds the most leverage — typically the ambiguous, load-bearing, or unblocking work — while deliberately leaving well-scoped growth opportunities to the team
• Partner with Product, Design, and peer engineering teams to align on priorities, resolve dependencies, and translate business goals into deliverable work
• Own team health and operational quality, including on-call, incident response, and a real quality and compliance bar in a regulated, money-touching domain
• Cultivate a collaborative, continuous learning, and inclusive team culture
• Champion high-leverage, AI-forward ways of working that raise the team’s throughput without compromising quality
• Remove blockers, shield the team from unnecessary noise, and create the conditions for engineers to do their best work

Skills

• Experience leading and managing a small engineering team, or a technical lead / player-coach ready to formalize into people management
• Still technically hands-on and credible — able to review, contribute to, and make sound decisions within a modern TypeScript codebase
• Strong people-leadership skills: coaching, feedback, performance management, and developing engineers across levels
• Solid delivery management: decomposing work, sequencing, managing dependencies and risk, and communicating status honestly
• Clear communicator with both technical and non-technical stakeholders; comfortable managing up, across, and outward
• Comfortable with ambiguity and a lean operating model; biases toward leverage and automation over headcount
• Remains hands-on within our primarily TypeScript-based stack spanning API services and full-stack web applications
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS), infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD automation
• Familiar with observability/APM and incident-response tooling; upholds operational and quality standards for a regulated, money-touching product
• Leverages AI tooling to increase team throughput and reduce toil

Benefits

• Remote or hybrid work; hybrid is based in the New York, NY or Charlotte area offices (East Coast preference), and employees must be able to work Eastern Standard Time hours.
• Equity, offered separately from the total cash compensation listed above.
• Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
• Life Insurance
• Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Holiday Pay
• 401(k) with match
• Employee Assistance Program
• Paid Parental Bonding Benefit Program
• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): full-time employees accrue 20 days of PTO for a full calendar year annually, increasing to 25 days after five years of service.
