Engineering Manager, Merchant Experience

<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Overview</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Recharge is looking for a hands-on engineering leader that will work with a squad of engineers focused on continually improving our merchant’s end user experience. You will be responsible for two squads - one working with data analytics products and experience and another focused on design systems and our merchant portal. You will be responsible for helping prioritize delivering new features, ensuring compliance with design patterns and continually leveling up your direct reports. You will be expected to stay close to the work. That means reading code, having opinions in MR reviews and knowing the difference between a hard problem and a stuck engineer.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">This is a cross-functional role. You’ll work across product, design, and data to keep things moving, build consensus when the path isn’t clear, and hold a high bar for quality and stability. You’ve shipped software before - that background isn’t a nice-to-have - it's how you earn trust with your team and make good calls under pressure.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">We’re also at an inflection point with AI tooling. We expect you to lean into that - not as a trend to acknowledge, but as a real opportunity to scale how a team works. If you’ve been actively experimenting with LLMs in your workflow, we want to hear about it.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What you’ll do</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Directly manage 6 engineers across two squads with distinct technical profiles</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Stay engaged in MRs, technical decisions and day-to-day engineering quality</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Actively unblock engineers - technically and organizationally</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Partner cross-functionally with product and stakeholders while protecting team focus and quality</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experiment with and help establish AI tooling practices that scale your team’s output</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What you’ll bring</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Prior experience shipping production software (preferably recently as an independent contributor)</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Comfort in React or Python codebases (preferably both!)</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Someone who reads the code, not just the ticket</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">A bias to action - low tolerance for ambiguity sitting unresolved - you make the calls and move</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Genuine curiosity about how LLMs and AI tooling are changing how engineers work</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Our Stack</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">React, Python, Flask, Looker, CloudSQL/MySQL GCP, Splunk, Sentry</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Interview recording & AI notetakers<br></strong>To protect privacy, legal compliance, and interviewer/candidate experience, recording, transcribing, or using AI notetaker tools during interviews is not permitted without our prior written consent.
