Software Engineering Manager, Risk

The self-employed workforce is a rapidly growing, resilient, and colorful 60 million Americans. But self-employment comes with its own set of challenges: navigating taxes, accounting, bookkeeping, and business banking are just a few. That’s where we come in.

Found is building tools that give self-employed people the security and peace of mind that has historically only been possible at big corporations. We’re a business bank account that automates taxes and expense tracking because we believe small business owners should spend more time doing what they love and less time on their business finances.

We’re looking for kind, resourceful, and passionate people to join us in building the safety net for self-employment.

Our engineering team is responsible for taking products from ideation to being used by tens of thousands of users every week. We’re responsible for everything from building the product to reliable and performant technical operations.

Our Risk Engineering team is responsible for fighting fraudulent use of Found and minimizing losses related to risk and bad actors in the system, while maintaining an excellent user experience across the core product and internal operations. We value moving fast, safely.

You’ll partner with our Head of Engineering and our other leads to drive success in this key part of our product and business. If you have any questions please include them in your application.

• Drive the technical vision and strategy for your team; to inform what we build and how we build it. You’ll work with partners and stakeholders across the company while doing this.

• Hire, mentor, and grow the engineers on your team, from setting them up for success during onboarding to challenging them to grow throughout their careers with the company.

• Contribute directly to the team’s work via code, technical decision making and architectural and operational improvements.

• Promote an engaged, positive, and product-focused, engineering culture.

• Partner with our risk operations and customer experience teams on risk rules, policies, operations and tooling.

• Build & update processes in support of positive customer outcomes while scaling our operational load.
