About the role:
We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineering Manager with deep expertise in backend systems (TypeScript, microservices, cloud) to lead multiple engineering teams building the Affinidi Elements platform.

- Establish and evolve engineering best practices, delivery processes, and quality standards to scale effectively
- Mentor and develop engineering leaders, fostering career growth, leadership depth, and technical excellence
- Stay ahead of emerging technologies, bringing innovative approaches to improve scalability, architecture, and developer experience
- Champion privacy by design, security-first principles, and high-quality engineering across backend and frontend systems
You will be a great match if you:

- Are skilled at balancing technical leadership and people leadership, growing teams while staying engaged in critical technical decisions
- Excel at cross-functional collaboration with product, design, and security stakeholders
