To do so, we build simple, flexible APIs and tools for developers that make it easy to build new products on crypto rails. Privy owns the abstractions and infrastructure layer above wallets, integrating across chains, third-party providers, and Stripe products like Treasury and Link. We get to solve hard technical problems while leveraging Stripe's distribution to reach customers like Ramp, Klarna, Deel, Kraken, Hyperliquid, and Fomo — powering experiences for both mainstream users and crypto natives. ### About the team Engineering at Privy is distinguished by: - High urgency—Shipping very small iterations, very fast, to learn very quickly. - Product taste—Our customers *are* developers, and to build effective products for them requires technical knowledge —you will often be "the PM". - Security mindset—A great portion of our product is trust. While we have a dedicated security team, every engineer brings security to their designs from the start. In practice, we use boring technology like Node, React, and AWS so we can focus our engineering energy entirely on pushing the boundaries of Privy's core product, e.g. through hardware enclaves, multi-region low-latency APIs, and blockchain abstractions that are accessible to mainstream developers. At Privy, our Forward Deployed Engineers work on the company’s most important customer problems. They partner closely with customers to architect our most complex integrations and build new product features that close the gap to win deals. ### What you’ll do We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead this team as it continues to grow. You’ll be responsible for helping an outstanding group of Forward Deployed Engineers do the best work of their careers while staying laser-focused on helping Privy and its customers win. This is a high-leverage role at the intersection of customers, product development, and engineering. You’ll help the team stay focused on the highest-value work, raise the bar on execution, and help turn customer signal into new products and features. As the manager of this team, you own its overall impact. Great management is a core part of how Privy wins: our managers are force multipliers, performance coaches, and culture carriers who help exceptional people do exceptional work. - Own team outcomes and business impact for Forward Deployed Engineering - Coach and develop engineers across technical depth, customer empathy, and ownership - Hold the team accountable to excellence in quality, throughput, and performance - Ensure the team is focused on the right problems and highest-leverage opportunities - Partner closely with Product, Solutions Engineering, and GTM - Stay close to the work—review PRs, help scope technical work, review design docs, and jump in on complex problems - Build a strong team culture grounded in trust, rigor, and urgency - Strengthen the feedback loop between customer signal and product roadmap ### Who you are - Strong ownership and a track record of driving outstanding business impact - Excellent people management skills and experience growing high-performing engineers - Strong technical judgment and the ability to evaluate architecture and tradeoffs - A customer-first mindset and comfort translating ambiguous needs into clear technical direction - High emotional maturity and strong communication - Experience managing in a fast-moving, high-expectation environment [View posting at Stripe](https://stripe.com/careers/listing/engineering-manager-forward-deployed-privy/7947546?gh_jid=7947546) ## About Stripe Financial infrastructure APIs (payments, billing, tax, identity, issuing) used by millions of businesses from startups to global enterprises to run revenue online.
