The opportunity
As part of our Financial Services Organization (FSO), you will be part of a technology organization that develops and maintains innovative solutions for our client-serving Tax professionals. FSO professionals will partner with our Tax professionals to develop supporting technology such as digital tools to improve internal operations, development of advanced financial dashboards, visualization, analytics, and reports.
Our Financial Services EY EDGE practice is made up of a team of professionals providing dedicated tax technical services to both US and global clients. EDGE stands for Exceptional Delivery and Growth Engine because this team operates in a technical environment with deep process and service delivery experience that distinguishes EY in the marketplace.
This is a hands-on engineering management role for an experienced tech lead who wants to step up without leaving the keyboard. As an Engineering Manager, you will lead 1-3 teams of 3-6 full-stack engineers, serving as both their senior technical authority and people leader. You will contribute code, define technical strategy, and recruit, develop, and mentor engineers to help them grow and succeed. Agentic Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) has reshaped how engineering work gets done. With tasks becoming smaller, more clearly defined, and easier to distribute, an engineering manager's greatest impact comes from delivering hands-on solutions and orchestrating AI agents alongside the team, rather than coordinating handoffs. The ideal candidate is a strong technical practitioner who wants to amplify their impact, remains actively engaged in building, and is excited to leverage agents as part of the development process-not someone looking to step away from hands-on engineering.
You will oversee a diverse application ecosystem that combines established .NET/C# and Angular technologies with a modern Python, Node.js, and React development stack. The role requires maintaining and enhancing existing business-critical applications while driving the incremental adoption of modern architectures and agent-enabled development practices. Success in this role means delivering modernization at a sustainable pace without compromising system reliability or business continuity.
Your key responsibilities
As an Engineering Manager, you will lead from the keyboard, own technical direction, and keep delivery predictable while balancing modernization with stability.
Your responsibilities will include:
Contribute code weekly using agents; hands-on technical execution is a core responsibility of the role, not an optional activity
Own, version, and continuously improve the domain's agent operating instructions
Review pull requests and provide timely, actionable technical feedback
Directly remediate, ship, and manage the team's technical debt backlog rather than solely delegating it
Route well-bounded tasks to the most effective executor-an agent, an engineer, or yourself
Leverage agentic SDLC practices to increase throughput on bounded components with well-defined interfaces
Keep coordination lean and outcome-focused, identifying dependencies and risks early
Serve as the primary owner of the team's technical direction, architecture decisions, and long-term technical health
Define and drive the technical roadmap, balancing new feature delivery, modernization initiatives, and technical debt reduction
Own both the legacy .NET/C# and Angular components and the modern Python/Node/React stack, leading phased modernization while maintaining stability for business-critical systems
Hire engineers for the team and maintain a high bar for technical talent
Evaluate and develop engineers through regular feedback, coaching, and growth planning
Coach the team to work effectively and responsibly with AI agents
Uphold engineering principles across the full software lifecycle, including design, development, testing, release, and operations
Lead the practical adoption of agentic SDLC practices with clear human-in-the-loop quality, testing, security, and governance controls
Apply documented verification protocols appropriate to each artifact type, including code, tests, documentation, and infrastructure
Run evaluations prior to merge and retain human-controlled approval and merge authority for production branches
Maintain strong automated test coverage across unit, integration, and end-to-end testing
Track and report key engineering metrics, including required reporting to Atlassian Compass
Facilitate bi-weekly demonstrations from the cloud environment, showcasing both product capabilities and agent-assisted workflows
Partner closely with the dedicated production support organization, which owns frontline product operations
Deliver the tooling, automation, and runbooks required to operate and support the product effectively
Reduce operational toil through automation, including agent-assisted workflows where appropriate
Maintain an up-to-date inventory of WIZ Critical and Major findings and ensure timely remediation within established SLAs
Implement explicit guardrails, blast-radius controls, and audit trails for all production-impacting automation
Keep architecture documentation, architectural decision records (ADRs), runbooks, and agent operating instructions accurate and current
Skills and attributes for success
An experienced tech lead who has led at least one team, ready to step into hands-on engineering management, including hiring and evaluating engineers, while continuing to build daily
Strong proficiency in Python / Node / React stack for new development
Experience maintaining and modernizing existing .NET / C# services and Angular frontends
Demonstrated hands-on experience applying agentic SDLC in real production delivery workflows
Proven ownership of the full development loop (build, test, release, operate, and iterate)
Extensive experience with cloud-native applications on Azure (AWS and GCP experience is also acceptable)
Hands-on experience with containerized workloads and orchestration.
Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Bicep, Terraform, Pulumi, or AWS CDK
In-depth knowledge of test automation (unit, integration, e2e)
Hands-on experience with CI/CD automation, required for full-stack delivery in this role
Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems and make significant technical contributions
Proven track record of owning technical direction, architecture decisions, and a long-term technical roadmap
Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
A genuine appetite for building with a small team and agents, and for continuous learning
To qualify for the role, you must have
Bachelor's degree required (4-year degree) Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Economics and/or a master's degree in Accounting, Tax Technology, Management Information Systems, or Computer Science or related field.
Typically, no less than 5 - 7 years relevant experience.
You are required to have one of the following certifications: CPA, EA, JD, Master's degree in business administratio
