At EY, we're all in to shape your future with confidence. We'll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

The opportunity As part of our Financial Services Organization (FSO), you will be part of a technology organization that develops and maintains innovative solutions for our client-serving Tax professionals. FSO professionals will partner with our Tax professionals to develop supporting technology such as digital tools to improve internal operations, development of advanced financial dashboards, visualization, analytics, and reports. Our Financial Services EY EDGE practice is made up of a team of professionals providing dedicated tax technical services to both US and global clients.

EDGE stands for Exceptional Delivery and Growth Engine because this team operates in a technical environment with deep process and service delivery experience that distinguishes EY in the marketplace.

This is a hands-on engineering management role for an experienced tech lead who wants to step up without leaving the keyboard. As an Engineering Manager, you will lead 1–3 teams of 3–6 full-stack engineers, serving as both their senior technical authority and people leader. You will contribute code, define technical strategy, and recruit, develop, and mentor engineers to help them grow and succeed.

Agentic Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) has reshaped how engineering work gets done. With tasks becoming smaller, more clearly defined, and easier to distribute, an engineering manager's greatest impact comes from delivering hands-on solutions and orchestrating AI agents alongside the team, rather than coordinating handoffs. The ideal candidate is a strong technical practitioner who wants to amplify their impact, remains actively engaged in building, and is excited to leverage agents as part of the development process—not someone looking to step away from hands-on engineering.

You will oversee a diverse application ecosystem that combines  and Angular technologies with a modern Python, Node.js, and React development stack. The role requires maintaining and enhancing existing business-critical applications while driving the incremental adoption of modern architectures and agent-enabled development practices. Success in this role means delivering modernization at a sustainable pace without compromising system reliability or business continuity.

Your key responsibilities As an Engineering Manager, you will lead from the keyboard, own technical direction, and keep delivery predictable while balancing modernization with stability. Your responsibilities will include:

• Contribute code weekly using agents; hands-on technical execution is a core responsibility of the role, not an optional activity
• Own, version, and continuously improve the domain's agent operating instructions
• Review pull requests and provide timely, actionable technical feedback
• Directly remediate, ship, and manage the team's technical debt backlog rather than solely delegating it
• Route well-bounded tasks to the most effective executor—an agent, an engineer, or yourself
• Leverage agentic SDLC practices to increase throughput on bounded components with well-defined interfaces
• Keep coordination lean and outcome-focused, identifying dependencies and risks early
• Serve as the primary owner of the team's technical direction, architecture decisions, and long-term technical health
• Define and drive the technical roadmap, balancing new feature delivery, modernization initiatives, and technical debt reduction
• Own both the  and Angular components and the modern Python/Node/React stack, leading phased modernization while maintaining stability for business-critical systems
• Hire engineers for the team and maintain a high bar for technical talent
• Evaluate and develop engineers through regular feedback, coaching, and growth planning
• Coach the team to work effectively and responsibly with…
