Engineering Manager, TRM

About the role

Topstep is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team within TRM Engineering, the organization that builds the products funded traders and our internal teams use every day: the trader-facing web experience, the account and onboarding flows, the payments and payout paths, and the internal tooling the business runs on.

Requirements

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, including production systems, integrations, and operations.
• 2+ years of engineering management experience - hiring, setting direction, coaching, and developing engineers across levels.
• A track record of delivering complex technical work at quality, balancing feature delivery against reliability and technical investment.
• Experience leading teams that own production systems - on-call, incident response, and reliability.
• Technical credibility to guide architecture and trade-off decisions across TypeScript and Node.js web applications and services.
• Hands-on background with TypeScript and Node.js, modern front-end frameworks (React or similar), and cloud infrastructure on AWS, including containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD.

What you'll do

• Run the team: set direction and standards, set the hiring bar, plan capacity, and shape how it operates day to day.
• Lead and develop the team: run 1:1s, feedback, and performance reviews; coach engineers toward growth.
• Own the technical quality of the team's systems: guide architecture and trade-off decisions, own application-level technical strategy.
• Drive reliability and operational excellence: own engineering process, on-call health, and incident follow-through.
• Own delivery cadence and outcomes: partner with Product and Design through discovery to shape scope and provide credible estimates.
• Partner across the org: collaborate as a peer with senior engineers and peer Engineering Managers.
