Sr. Engineering Manager

About the role

Comply is looking for a Sr. Engineering Manager to lead and grow a high-performing software engineering team, shipping reliable, scalable software that powers compliance programs for thousands of financial services clients worldwide. In this role, you’ll own both the people and the technical direction of your team, partnering closely with product, QA, and business stakeholders to deliver against an ambitious roadmap. You’ll report to the Senior Director of Software Engineering and lead engineers based in India. Flexibility for cross-timezone collaboration is part of the rhythm, balanced by Comply’s commitment to sustainable, predictable working hours for managers.

You’ll love this role if you’re energized by growing engineers, thrive in a fast-moving product environment, and want to shape the architecture of a cloud-native SaaS platform at real scale.

What you’ll do

• Lead a cross-functional engineering team, including QA and offshore engineers in India.

• Own everything from sprint planning and code review through deployment and production reliability.

• Set and hold the technical bar by establishing coding standards, conduct meaningful code reviews, and keep the team’s work secure, scalable, and aligned to architectural best practices.

• Partner with product and business stakeholders to define and prioritize delivery, ensuring every sprint connects back to customer value and product strategy.

• Build and sustain a team culture of ownership, inclusion, continuous learning, and craft where engineers feel accountable and supported in equal measure.

• Coach and develop engineers at all levels, run meaningful 1:1s, manage performance, and partner with recruiting to bring in the right strategic talent.

• Drive the technical roadmap by balancing near-term delivery commitments with long-term platform health, innovation, and technical debt reduction.

• Champion modern engineering practices across the team: CI/CD pipelines, agile methodologies, version control (Bitbucket), and AI-assisted development tools.

• Collaborate across business units to provide engineering perspective on product and commercial decisions and contribute to the broader direction of Comply’s software platform.

What success looks like in your first 90 days

• You’ve built strong working relationships with your team and key cross-functional partners, and have a clear picture of team health, delivery velocity, and near-term roadmap priorities.

• You’re running sprints confidently, have had substantive 1:1s with every direct report, and have identified and started addressing at least one gap in process, quality, or team structure.
