Follow us on Glassdoor and LinkedIn! Alkami is hiring an Engineering Manager for Activations to lead a team focused on helping new clients get to production through high-quality product workflows, core-provider integrations, and third-party service integrations. This team’s work sits close to the customer and the bank experience, requiring strong technical judgment, product partnership, and a bias for execution. This is a hybrid player-coach role. The right person will lead through the work by setting direction, mentoring engineers, shaping architecture, and staying close enough to the code and systems to help the team make strong technical decisions. At MANTL, this type of engineering manager role is designed to combine technical leadership, people leadership, and hands-on problem solving rather than operating as a pure people manager.What You’ll Do
Lead the Activations engineering team responsible for the technical work that helps new clients go live, including integrations with client core provider APIs, third-party services such as check ordering and ACH transfers, and workflows tied to digital account opening.
Align team priorities, processes, and decision-making with broader organizational goals while setting clear direction for the team’s roadmap and delivery outcomes.
Coach, develop, and support engineers through regular feedback, performance conversations, and day-to-day technical guidance.
Design, guide, and review systems within the team’s scope while contributing production-grade code where needed to move ambiguous problems forward.
Review code and technical designs to ensure high standards for quality, maintainability, testability, efficiency, and long-term scalability.
Partner closely with Product Management to translate complex product requirements into practical technical plans, sequencing, and delivery decisions.
Monitor quality, reliability, and platform health so the team makes the right technical investments to support current and future needs.
Help create an environment where engineers can think through problems with a product lens, operate autonomously, and make strong decisions in fast-moving situations. What We’re Looking For
8+ years of software engineering experience with a strong hands-on technical foundation.
