Engineering Manager

Northteq is a Salesforce technology company that makes digital transformation in lending easier than ever before. With over 25 years of experience and 150+ lending clients, we provide thoughtfully designed technology solutions that streamline the loan origination process for the commercial lending and equipment finance industries.

Our flagship solution, Aurora, is a fully automated loan/lease origination system (LOS) and vendor/customer portal. Aurora enables lenders and their partners to automate the origination process from application to funding in just 3 minutes. We also partner with some of today’s most innovative fintech companies to create turnkey Salesforce apps that simplify and automate the loan origination process.

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we offer fully remote and hybrid career options; so, when you work for Northteq, you can work from anywhere!

The Engineering Manager is a player‑coach role on the Product team responsible for making sure Northteq ships the right things, fast, and  will split your time between hands‑on Salesforce development and leading the engineering team through disciplined, metric-driven delivery. The balance between coding and management will shift based on business needs, but the expectation is that you remain a strong technical contributor while owning engineering execution end to end.

You will manage all product developers, run sprint planning and delivery cadence, and be directly accountable for the team delivering on its commitments. You are expected to bring urgency and energy to work that drives ARR and client value, not just technical elegance. The right candidate is someone who gets excited about shipping product that wins deals, not just solving interesting engineering problems.

You will also own the technical enablement of Professional Services; building and maintaining implementation frameworks, configuration patterns, and technical guardrails that allow PS to deliver client implementations efficiently and independently. This is an ongoing responsibility that directly scales Northteq’s delivery capacity.

You are expected to be an active adopter and advocate for AI-assisted development. You will evaluate and implement AI tooling across the engineering workflow; code generation, automated testing, documentation, code review and identify opportunities where AI can accelerate both product development and client implementation.

You will work in close partnership with the Head of Product.

The Head of Product owns product strategy and roadmap (the what and why); as Engineering Manager you own delivery execution and engineering quality (the how and when). Both roles share accountability for shipping product that drives ARR and client value.

Engineering & Technical Delivery (~50%)

• Write production-quality code in Apex, Lightning Web Components, the Salesforce platform Azure AI and external API integrations. Contribute directly to Aurora product development including new features and improvement
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues across the Aurora platform.
• Get productive quickly in Aurora’s existing codebase. This is a mature, complex Salesforce application, the ability to navigate, understand, and contribute to an established architecture is essential.
• Conduct code reviews for all product development work. Enforce coding standards and ensure code quality before anything ships.
• Contribute to technical architecture decisions in collaboration with the Head of Product and Technical Architect.
• Own quality standards for the engineering team: define what “done” means, establish testing expectations, set release criteria, and drive continuous improvement in defect rates. When quality issues reach PS or clients, own the response and the process improvement.
• Maintain a healthy balance between feature delivery and technical debt reduction. Surface and prioritize debt that threatens delivery velocity, quality, or security.
• Own secure coding standards, code analysis tooling (SAST), and timely remediation of vulnerability findings, including penetration test results, SOC 2 controls, and security review outcomes.
