[Hiring] Engineering Manager @Fingerprint

Role Description

Fingerprint's device intelligence platform processes billions of identification events for companies that need to know who — or what — is on the other end of a request. Increasingly, the answer is not a person. AI agents, AI assistants, crawlers, headless browsers, and malicious automation now make up a large and fast-growing share of internet traffic, and telling them apart from humans — and from each other — is becoming one of the most important problems our customers ask us to solve.

We are standing up a dedicated Automation Intelligence engineering team to own that problem end to end:

• detection in the browser
• detection at the edge
• the classification taxonomy that tells customers what kind of automation they're seeing and how confident we are
• the API that customers and their agents call

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead this team. You'll inherit a small, senior group (three engineers to start, growing to four or five) and a clear mandate. You report directly to the VP of Engineering.

Qualifications

• 3+ years managing software engineers, ideally including senior and staff-level ICs, with a track record of shipping products — not just features — through launch
• 8+ years in software engineering before or alongside management
• Relevant domain depth in at least one of: bot detection or bot management, fraud or abuse prevention, web security, browser or client-side engineering, or high-volume API services
• Experience building or running measurement-driven engineering — test corpora, precision/recall or FP/FN tracking, regression suites, SLOs
• Hands-on with AI coding tools
• Cross-functional operator with experience working closely with product managers, researchers, and customer-facing teams
• Clear communicator

Requirements

• Direct experience with bot detection, bot management, or anti-automation products
• Familiarity with AI agent ecosystems
• Experience with browser internals or headless/automation frameworks
• Experience running API-first products with public OpenAPI specs, SDKs, and MCP or similar agent-facing surfaces
• Experience forming a new team out of an existing one
• Experience in a high-growth SaaS company with enterprise customers

Benefits

• Salary range: $159k - $215k based on function, level, and geographic location
• Example salaries for specific locations:
  • NYC: $187k - $215k
  • Chicago: $159k - $183k
• Final offer amounts determined by multiple factors, including location, experience, and expertise
• Inclusive work environment that embraces unique experiences and perspectives
