[Hiring] Server Engineering Manager @Raya

Role Description

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our Member Experience server team. Member Experience owns the full member lifecycle - from a prospective member's first application through onboarding, payments, and renewal month after month. That surface spans:

• Application and acceptance
• Authentication and login
• Onboarding
• Subscriptions and in-app purchases including Raya+
• Reactivation and referrals
• Member communications

These are net-new payment systems built for scale rather than legacy systems in maintenance, with high ownership and direct revenue impact.

The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years of experience managing software development teams, with deep knowledge of Node.js and TypeScript, and should be familiar with cloud architectures, services, deployment models, and distributed systems. We value strong project management skills and the ability to deliver on commitments. In this role, you will work closely with leadership, product managers, designers, and data team stakeholders to deliver business impact.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a similar field, or equivalent industry experience.
• 2+ years of experience managing high-performing engineering teams.
• Deep knowledge of Node.js and TypeScript, with familiarity across cloud architecture, services, deployment models, and distributed systems.
• Production experience with Apple StoreKit payments and subscriptions, and production experience with Stripe payments and subscriptions for a B2C product.
• Experience serving within and administering an operational excellence program: production readiness, observability, on call.
• Proven ability to lead projects from concept through launch, balancing speed and quality, and to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners to deliver business impact.
• Experience sourcing, screening, hiring, mentoring, and developing engineers, with strong communication and leadership skills.
• An AI-forward mindset, with curiosity about applying emerging technologies to improve developer and product experiences.
