Engineering Manager
Range is creating AI-powered solutions to eliminate financial complexity for our members. We’re transforming wealth management through the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and human expertise. We’re obsessed with member experience! We’ve built an integrated platform that tackles the full spectrum of financial needs—investments, taxes, retirement planning, and estate management—all unified in one intuitive system.
Backed by Google’s Gradient Ventures and Cathay Innovations, we’re in hyper-growth mode and looking for exceptional talent to join our starting lineup. Every Ranger at this stage is shaping our culture and way of life—from former CEOs and startup founders to experts from leading hedge funds and tech companies.
If you’re ready to build something that truly matters in financial services, bring your talent to Range. Here, you’ll make a genuine impact on how people manage their financial lives while working alongside a team that celebrates wins, makes big decisions, and blazes new trails together.
About the Role
You’ll lead a team of full-stack engineers while staying deep in the code yourself. Think player-coach: you’re shipping production features one day and unblocking an engineer’s architecture decision the next. You’ll own the delivery cadence, technical quality, and growth trajectory of your team while partnering closely with product, design, and our financial planning org to build the platform our members rely on. We ship fast, we ship often, and we expect our engineering leaders to understand every layer of what we’re building.
This role is based at Range's Headquarters in McLean, VA. Employees hired for this position will work in office Monday-Friday. If you are not currently located in this area, your willingness to relocate will be a contingency for employment.
What You’ll Do With Us
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4–8 full-stack engineers. Run effective 1:1s, give direct and specific feedback, and create clear career development paths.
Stay hands-on in the codebase. Write production code, conduct thorough code reviews, and make architectural decisions on systems that handle real money and sensitive financial data.
Own your team’s delivery end-to-end. Scope projects, set milestones, remove blockers, and hold yourself and your engineers accountable for shipping high-quality work on time.
Partner closely with product managers and designers to translate member needs and business goals into engineering roadmaps and sprint plans.
Drive engineering excellence across the organization—improve CI/CD pipelines, strengthen observability and testing, reduce deployment friction, and raise the bar on code quality.
Recruit and retain exceptional engineers. Build a team you’d want to work for. Sell candidates on the mission and close them on the opportunity.
Champion our AI-first approach. Help the team adopt and integrate AI tooling into daily workflows to multiply velocity and output quality.
Collaborate cross-functionally with our planning team, investment and tax specialists and compliance to ensure what we build meets the standard our members expect from their financial partner.
Establish and champion engineering best practices. Produce clean, high-quality code, tests, and documentation.
What Will Set You Apart
5+ years of professional full stack software engineering experience with at least 1–2 years leading a team.
Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, or similar.
Experience working with AWS or similar cloud platforms.
Excellent product instincts. You first think about users rather than the best technical solution.
Track record of building, shipping, and operating reliable production systems—you understand what it takes to build secure software at scale, not just pass a code review.
Genuine interest in growing people. You give direct, actionable feedback and have helped engineers level up through mentorship or management.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.
Ability to solve ambiguous problems without the need to be told exactly what to do.
Ability to pick up on new technologies very quickly.
Comfortable working across the stack (frontend, backend, infrastructure).
You communicate with clarity and conviction—with your team, with leadership, and across functions.
Bonus: experience in fintech, wealth management, regulated financial services or startups.
