Full Job Posting

Where you can make an impact:

Hire, lead, and develop engineers at multiple levels, including full-time staff and contractors

Own revenue accuracy so partner files, pricing rules, and warehouse figures agree with what Finance recognizes

Drive the remaining migration of verticals and partners off legacy ingestion onto the modern platform, including new connectors to partner API portals, and retire the old path once the new one is proven

Partner with Business Development, Finance, Product, and vertical engineering leaders to sequence work, explain discrepancies, and hold delivery commitments

Manage sprint planning, project timelines, and delivery commitments, ensuring predictable and high-quality execution

Drive thoughtful adoption of AI-assisted development where it shortens migrations and operations, with human review on anything that changes revenue

Guide technical decisions on pipeline design, data modeling, and pricing logic so systems stay correct as partner contracts change

Hold the team to software fundamentals: code review, testing, documentation, and operability of jobs that run every day

See delivery risk early — a late partner file, a pricing change, a dependency on another team — and escalate before it becomes a revenue miss

Keep ingestion reliable: freshness, completeness, and a clear owner when a number looks wrong

Your experience:

  • 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience
  • 5+ years as the people manager of an engineering team
  • Proven success owning production data pipelines or an ingestion platform where correctness is the product, such as revenue, billing, or payments, ideally in FinTech or another regulated industry
  • Experience leading a migration from a legacy system to a new platform while both are still in production
  • Strong SQL and Python, and working knowledge of Snowflake and AWS
  • Familiarity with workflow orchestration (Airflow, Step Functions, or similar), a relational database such as Postgres, and pipelines that are idempotent, observable, and safe to rerun
  • Working knowledge of data-quality practice: reconciliation, anomaly review, and how to investigate a number that does not match its source
  • Experience partnering with finance, business development, or other non-engineering stakeholders on data they use to make money decisions
  • Demonstrated ability to coach engineers at different levels, including senior and staff engineers, with clear, actionable feedback
  • Experience balancing delivery dates with technical quality on systems that cannot silently drop or double-count data
  • A track record of using automation, including AI-assisted development, to raise a team's throughput
  • Strong written communication when explaining discrepancies and decisions to people outside engineering
  • This role will be remote (based in the U.S.).
  • We believe great work can be done anywhere. No matter where you are based, NerdWallet offers benefits and perks to support the physical, financial, and emotional well being of you and your family.
