About Finofo

Finofo makes global finance effortless. We help companies pay vendors, move money across borders, manage multi-entity cash, and stay compliant, all from one platform.

We’ve raised over $5M to date (most recently a $3.3M seed led by Watertower Ventures with Motivate VC and SaaS Ventures). Product-market fit is real, customers are growing fast, and now it’s time to scale the build.

We’re not here to build a nice little app. We’re here to build something category-defining ; and that takes obsession, effort, and ownership.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager who thrives on clarity, delivery, and urgency; someone who can turn ambition into actual ship dates. While our Tech Lead owns the architecture, you will own the sprint clock, the team’s alignment, and the follow-through.

If you’re an engineer turned operator, a leader who reads every task, challenges every estimate, and keeps people focused on the right things at the right time, we want to talk. You’ll keep the team fast, focused, and accountable; and when priorities slip, you’ll fix it.

What You’ll Own

• Project Management : Run sprint planning, daily stand-ups, release cadences, and the issue tracking. Ruthlessly prioritize. Tackle delays before they become problematic.
• Execution Leadership : Translate fuzzy goals into weekly targets. Track progress daily and re-plan in real time. Ship the right thing, on time, every time.
• People Management : Coach a small, senior team. Set a high bar; give direct feedback; unblock fast; keep energy high.
• Tactical Technical Support : This is not your regular priority, but you’ll contribute code when needed to unblock delivery.
• Founder Collaboration : Ideate shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders, after hours if the insight strikes. Map product vision into sprints and iterate at lightning speed.

Who You Are

• 6+ years writing production code (Python, TypeScript, or similar) and 3+ years leading delivery.
• Master planner : You organize sprint boards in your sleep.
• Relentless finisher : “Done” means in prod, users happy.
• Driver of excellence : You hold people (including yourself) to elite standards of quality, speed and attitude.
• All-in mindset : You don’t watch the clock and you expect the same from teammates. Evenings and weekends are fair game when the mission demands it.
• Collaborator : You work best with others, and make the team stronger.
• Clear, calm, direct communicator, especially when things go sideways.
• Bonus : fintech, payments, or startup-to-scale-up experience.

Let's Be Honest

This isn’t a lifestyle job. We’re building a VC-backed company with global ambition. That means intensity.

We’re not training for a casual 5K jog — we're trying to win gold at the Olympics of Tech. That requires more than talent and smarts. It requires hours, effort, resilience, a winning attitude and pride in your work.

If you're looking for a cushy 9 to 5 job, this isn’t the place. But if you're looking for meaning, impact, and the chance to do your life’s best work, let’s talk.

Our Stack

How We Use AI

We’re obsessed with speed and leverage every edge we can. From Cursor to Codex, we use AI to write, review, and refactor faster. We’re always on the hunt for new tools that boost engineering velocity. The pace of innovation in AI is accelerating, and we don’t plan on being laggards. If you're AI-curious and love experimenting to move quicker, you'll fit right in.

What We Offer

• Equity with real upside . Participate meaningfully in the win.
• Relocation support to Calgary if you’re currently elsewhere in Canada.
• Gorgeous downtown office (C Train-adjacent) where we work hard but also have fun together.
• A seat at the table during our most pivotal growth chapter.

If This Sounds Like You…

• You care more about finished than started .
• You’d rather ask “When’s the release?” than “What’s the requirement?”
• You can bring a talented team from good to jaw-dropping.
• You believe velocity + accountability beats “work-life balance” for now , because the opportunity and the mission are that big.
