Engineering Manager, Product Engineering

What We Do

Rillet serves accounting and finance teams. Our customers are the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossible speed, accuracy, and insight.

Rillet is an AI-native ERP that can drive a zero-day close. We are different because of our unified source-of-truth data model, hundreds of best-in-class native integrations (Stripe, Ramp, Salesforce, etc), automated & auditable workflows, multi-entity consolidation, and quickly expanding army of specialized AI agents (e.g., accrual, audit, P&L flux, board decks, etc). These earn us a consistently perfect customer satisfaction score. High-growth AI customers like Mercor, and Function Health love our ship velocity, because their financial stack needs to scale as quickly as they do.

This huge market is ours to take. We have raised $100M from leading investors (including Sequoia, a16z, Iconiq, Oak HC/FT, and First Round) to help everyone run their numbers at the speed of AI.

Who We Are

Rillet’s pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility.

Successful Rilleteers do not wait for assignments. They internalize a mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for.

Work revolves around our customers. Successful Rilleteers are energized by delivering the most important things, even those that weren’t in the original plan.

In this role, you do not need to be an accountant. But you do need to appreciate the value that our customers can create for their own company when we equip them with the perfect financial tools. Successful Rilleteers love powering the financial core of the world’s fastest-growing companies.

Who We Need

Rillet's product is redefining how accounting and finance teams work. As an Engineering Manager on one of our product teams, you'll have real ownership over how we build, who we hire, and the culture we create. This isn't a role for someone who manages from a distance. You'll be close to the work, close to the team, and close to the product.

We're an AI-native company, and we expect our leaders to bring that same mindset to how they work. If you're energized by using AI to move faster, think bigger, and solve problems differently, you'll fit right in.

We're looking for teammates within commutable distance of our San Francisco office (or willing to relocate). Team members work in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible day.

What You'll Do

• Own the technical direction and execution of a fullstack product engineering team, partnering with product and design to shape what we build, not just how we build it.

• Recruit, develop, and retain high-caliber engineers, creating the conditions for them to do their best work.

• Be a credible technical partner to staff engineers and engineering leadership, engaging meaningfully on architecture and hard tradeoffs.

• Drive high-stakes product initiatives from conception to launch, shipping reliable software that delights users.

• Stay close to the code and the craft, contributing directly during this critical growth phase.

Who We're Looking For

• 7+ years in software engineering, with at least 4 years in an engineering management role at a product-driven tech company

• A people leader who executes: invested in your team and close enough to the work to have strong opinions on quality, architecture, and craft

• A builder's instinct: you've never fully left the work behind and bring that perspective into how you lead and make decisions

• Strong cross-functional collaborator who moves fluidly between technical and non-technical conversations

• Actively incorporates AI tools into your workflow, not just as a productivity shortcut but as a way to tackle problems differently

• Drawn to hard, ambiguous problems in an environment where the playbook is still being written

Bonus Points

• Experience scaling a team through multiple stages of company growth

• Hands-on experience with Kotlin, Java, or TypeScript

• Background in fintech, ERP, or accounting software

• Experience shipping to power users or highly technical end users
