TL;DR · Engineering Manager, Customer Interfaces

As Engineering Manager, Customer Interfaces, you will lead a team of individual contributors to evolve the experience platform by transforming traditional merchant dashboards into intelligent, streaming, and conversational financial interfaces. You will be responsible for the end-to-end transformation of the merchant experience, defining architectural visions for agentic workflows, tool-use, and policy layers while managing hiring, mentoring, and performance. The role requires building dynamic UI components using Vue, Preact, or TypeScript, supported by high-concurrency Java backend services. You will navigate technical debt, ensure security guardrails for AI interfaces, and manage incident responses. This position addresses the challenge of creating sophisticated financial tools in a regulated industry, requiring expertise in LLM workflows, streaming latency optimization, and zero-trust security boundaries to move beyond static dashboards into real-time, adaptive merchant interactions.
