Engineering Manager at Ambrook

Company Description: Ambrook - Series A fintech backed by Thrive Capital and Figma's Dylan Field

Job Description:
As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of 4-5 high-performing engineers building modern financial tools for the American agricultural industry. Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you will own the full employee lifecycle, influence product roadmaps, and define how a best-in-class team operates using pragmatic, AI-native workflows.

Why this role is remarkable:

• Direct impact on the real economy by providing financial clarity to independent farmers, ranchers, and industrial operators who are the backbone of America.

• High-growth Series A environment backed by top-tier investors including Thrive Capital, BoxGroup, and Homebrew, during a pivotal expansion phase beyond agriculture.

• Mentorship from Head of Engineering Tom Woolway, who brings two decades of experience scaling massive engineering organizations at Twitter and Chainalysis.

What you will do:

• Own the full employee lifecycle for a significant portion of the engineering team, including hiring senior ICs, coaching, and performance management.

• Collaborate deeply with Product and Design leadership to shape the technical roadmap and balance technical debt with rapid feature delivery.

• Lead the team in adopting AI-native engineering practices, ensuring high architectural integrity while leveraging modern tools to solve complex data problems.

The ideal candidate:

• 2–5+ years of dedicated engineering management experience at high-growth startups (Series A–D) with a strong foundation as a former high-performing IC.

• Proven track record of building and scaling engineering teams, with a preference for management as a craft rather than being a tech lead manager.

• Pragmatic, product-minded approach with experience in (or passion for) fintech, agriculture, or building tools that simplify complex, messy real-world data.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
