Engineering Manager Partnership

As an Engineering Manager in Partnership Engineering you will lead a 5-engineer team that owns end-to-end delivery for one of Trusting Socials lending partners a financial institution or consumer-finance company in Vietnam or the Philippines.

This is not a traditional people-manager EM role. You are the technical and product anchor of the team accountable for a partner business outcome co-owned with the Business Unit leader and operating as their peer rather than as a delivery contractor. Youll guide a small high-craft team building on Trusting Socials multi-tenant co-lending platform a platform that lets each partner configure and enable the lending capabilities they need (origination KYC credit decisioning disbursement servicing) rather than receiving a custom build. Your team owns one partners slice of that platform end-to-end.

• Own a partner business outcome expressed as a Key Result co-owned with the Business Unit leader typically a measurable partner metric such as disbursement volume application-to-funded conversion onboarding turnaround time or risk-adjusted approval rate
• Lead end-to-end delivery of the partners product roadmap on the co-lending platform: architecture build ship operate iterate
• Compose and grow a 5-engineer team balanced for competency diversity across full-stack engineering domain depth product architecture AI operations and partner relationship; ensure no single point of failure on critical capabilities
• Run the technical conversation with the partners product and tech counterparts; hold the line on tech debt and scope creep while keeping the partnership intact
• Operate as a peer to the Business Unit leader on commercial trade-offs SOW boundaries capacity-versus-revenue decisions partner-side contract gates
• Contribute to platform-level decisions with other team leads (10-15% of your time) to keep the shared co-lending platform coherent across partners
• Own production for your team the team runs its own on-call and you are the escalation peer rather than the first responder

• 8 years building and operating production systems with meaningful time in fintech lending payments or KYC/identity domains
• Hands-on in the codebase you read PRs write occasional production code and design system architecture yourself rather than delegating the technical thinking
• AI-native in your delivery Claude Copilot or equivalents are a first-class part of your engineering loop and you have coached engineers to work the same way; comfortable being measured on AI-leveraged delivery rather than headcount
• Strong familiarity with our stack: Go (backend services) and TypeScript (frontend and tooling); strong polyglots also welcome
• Business sense you frame engineering trade-offs in partner P&L terms not abstract craft terms and are comfortable in commercial conversations
• Product mindset you can drive product decisions with a Business Unit leader as a peer design for operators (customer service ops compliance) as first-class users and have shipped products end-to-end rather than just features
• Demonstrated proactiveness your prior work shows you unblock teams by making calls and bringing proposals not by escalating
• Partner relationship capability you can sit across from a partner CTO or BU head as a credible peer and say no to tech debt scope creep or unrealistic dates while keeping the partnership healthy
