Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Red Ventures is seeking an Engineering Manager for Bankrate to lead a small engineering team while contributing to the codebase. The role focuses on team management, delivery management, and ensuring high-quality software development in a collaborative and AI-driven environment.
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
- 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
