Software Engineering Manager - Financial Reporting

Job Description

As an Engineering Manager in Reporting/BI Engineering, you will lead two scrum teams focused on building and enhancing the financial reporting capabilities of the Certent Equity Management (CEM) platform for a large, strategic enterprise client engagement. Reporting to the Director of Reporting/BI Engineering, you will own the delivery, the people, and the client relationship across both teams.

• Own delivery outcomes across both Reporting/BI scrum teams – with accountability structures and management depth calibrated to each team’s structure.
• For the Lead-staffed team: hold the Lead Engineer accountable for daily execution, technical quality, and team health – staying ahead of risks without micromanaging delivery.
• For the directly-managed team: provide hands‑on direction on priorities, unblock engineers directly, run scrum ceremonies, and serve as the daily technical and delivery authority.
• Translate complex financial reporting requirements into structured delivery plans; actively manage priorities, surface trade‑offs, and keep both teams focused on the highest‑impact work.
• Communicate status clearly and fluently – accountable upward to the Director of Reporting/BI Engineering and across to QA, Platform Integrations, and Application Engineering verticals – with accurate, actionable narratives.
• Identify blockers, dependencies, and risks early across both teams; drive resolution through direct ownership or escalation.

• Maintain sufficient depth in Oracle SQL, PL/SQL, and BI tooling to engage credibly with engineers on technical decisions, query architecture, and reporting solution design across both teams.
• For the directly‑managed team, provide active technical direction – reviewing approaches, resolving ambiguity, and making architectural calls at the squad level as a standing part of your role.
• Review and challenge technical approaches on behalf of delivery and platform quality – pushing back on one‑off SQL solutions, advocating for reusable reporting data models, and ensuring query performance standards are met before release.
• Understand the Logi Analytics (Logi Symphony) reporting platform sufficiently to engage on capability, constraints, and solution design with your engineers and client stakeholders.
• Partner with the Director and Principal Engineers on architecture and data model decisions that have cross‑team or cross‑client implications.

• 50% AI‑authored PR targets and 95% AI code review adoption as organizational minimums across both teams.
• Drive meaningful AI tooling adoption – not just compliance with targets, but genuine integration of agentic development workflows (Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code, Devin.AI) that improve engineering velocity and reporting quality.
• Model and advocate for AI‑first engineering practices, including Spec Driven Development, within your teams and across the Reporting/BI vertical.
• Stay current on agentic development tooling and bring forward‑looking recommendations to the Director of Reporting/BI Engineering.

• Day‑to‑day management across both teams:
  Lead Engineer (one team), Sr Engineers, Engineers, and Associate Engineers across a globally distributed workforce.
• Own hiring, onboarding, performance management, career development, and retention across both teams; partner with the Director on headcount planning.
• Develop and grow the existing Lead Engineer – coaching on technical leadership, team management, and SQL/BI quality standards.
• Provide direct mentorship and career development to the Sr Engineers on the directly‑managed team – this is a permanent structure, and developing strong Sr Engineers is how the team stays effective without a Lead layer.
• Foster a high‑trust, high‑accountability culture across a geographically distributed team spanning US, India, and other locations.
• Run effective management cadences – 1:1s, cross‑team syncs, and retrospectives – without creating overhead that slows delivery.

• Engage actively and directly with client stakeholders on financial reporting requirements –…
