Engineering Manager

Remote

The Engineering Team at Fora Financial 

The Engineering team at Fora Financial builds the systems that help small business owners turn their dreams into reality. Every line of code we write directly impacts real entrepreneurs — the restaurant owner expanding to a second location, the contractor hiring their first employee, the retailer stocking up for their busiest season. 

We’re looking for an impact-driven, people-first Engineering Manager who loves growing others as much as building great software. You’ll lead engineering teams across multiple product streams, collaborating with 2+ product managers and diverse business stakeholders to deliver interconnected solutions that create an inclusive, high-trust culture where everyone can thrive. 

You’ll partner closely with product managers, scrum masters, and business stakeholders across Underwriting, Direct Sales, Business Development, Operations, Finance & Accounting, and Legal to deliver high-quality functionality with real-world impact. 

This is a remote role open to candidates based in the United States and reports to the VP of Engineering. This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship. All applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the US.

Tech Stack Snapshot 

.NET (C#) • .NET Core • ASP.NET Core • Angular (TypeScript) • React • SQL Server • Entity Framework • Azure Functions • Azure App Service • Azure Service Bus • Azure API Gateway • Azure DevOps (ADO) • Visual Studio • Git • Snowflake • REST APIs • Microservices 

AI-Powered Development Tools: GitHub Copilot • Cursor • Claude • ChatGPT 

While this is our current stack, we welcome Engineering Managers with experience in similar modern technologies — for example, Java, Python, or Ruby, and cloud environments such as AWS or GCP. What matters most is your ability to lead technically capable teams, foster engineering excellence, and occasionally roll up your sleeves to support delivery when needed. 

 

A Day in the Life of an Engineering Manager

  • Lead two Agile engineering teams through project planning, execution, and delivery — ensuring alignment between business goals and technical outcomes. 
  • Develop and manage talent through coaching, performance reviews, difficult conversations with empathy, and strategic hiring decisions that strengthen team capabilities and culture add (bringing diverse perspectives that enhance our team culture). 
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and business stakeholders to scope projects, balance technical tradeoffs with user needs, and translate between technical and business requirements. 
  • Connect engineering work to business impact — help teams understand how their code directly affects small business owners and drive decisions that prioritize customer value alongside technical excellence. 
  • Act as a player-coach — contribute code when needed, review pull requests regularly, and drive technical excellence through hands-on involvement in architecture, system design, and engineering standards. 
  • Facilitate team effectiveness by setting clear goals, removing blockers, upholding Agile practices, and championing modern development tools including AI-powered solutions. 

 

What You Bring 

  • Leadership & People Development: Direct experience managing engineers — conducting performance reviews, delivering constructive feedback, and creating growth plans that balance empathy and accountability. 
  • Technical Depth: Strong foundation in software engineering with the ability to assess technical work, contribute to design discussions, and guide architectural decisions. 
  • Delivery & Execution: Proven success leading engineering work across multiple product streams or initiatives, coordinating with 2+ product managers, and ensuring timely, high-quality delivery. 
  • Stakeholder Partnership: Skilled at aligning engineering priorities with cross-functional needs (Product, Design, and Business). You know how to navigate competing priorities and build consensus. 
  • Coaching & Feedback: Passion for developing people — you build trust, foster learning, and help engineers perform at their highest level. 
  • Operational Mindset: Comfortable running Agile processes, setting measurable goals, and continuously improving how teams plan and deliver work. 

  • Growth Mindset: You stay curious about new technologies, development tools, and ways to create a more collaborative and effective engineering culture. 

Our Commitment to Inclusion 

We know that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting amazing candidates. Please apply even if you don’t meet every single listed qualification. If you’re excited about Fora’s mission and believe you can make an impact, we want to hear from you. 

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds — whether you’re self-taught, a career changer, a military veteran, a bootcamp graduate, returning to the workforce after caregiving, or a former founder. 

 

Role Leveling 

This role may be offered as Engineering Manager or Senior Engineering Manager depending on your experience, scope, and impact. If you’re unsure where you fit, apply anyway — we’ll explore the best match together during the process.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
