Software Engineering Manager, Mobile Products

The posting, as NerdWallet wrote it

At NerdWallet, we’re on a mission to bring clarity to all of life’s financial decisions and every great mission needs a team of exceptional Nerds. We’ve built an inclusive, flexible, and candid culture where you’re empowered to grow, take smart risks, and be unapologetically yourself (cape optional). Whether remote or in-office, we support how you thrive best. We invest in your well-being, development, and ability to make an impact because when one Nerd levels up, we all do.

NerdWallet is looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a customer-facing product team building across our React Native mobile app and our Next.js web experiences. NerdWallet's mobile app is at an inflection point. We are a trusted financial brand, and we are building an app that is “your money's smartest friend” on top of credit bureau and financial institution data, alongside a rich library of content from Nerdy financial experts. We are also evolving from a traditional product development model to a fully AI-native workflow, shifting from writing to building for product definition, and from human-written code to AI-generated code. Our three-year vision moves us from demand capture to demand creation, from waiting to be found to finding our customers in the financial moments that matter most in their lives. Successful candidates will have already led a product engineering team through the AI shift, will bring strong product and business instincts, and will hold a real performance bar for the people they lead. This person will lead a team through both the product ambition and the workflow shift at once, shipping the experiences that deepen how millions of users connect with their financial lives.

This role reports to the Senior Director, Engineering.

YOU ARE

• A leader and a coach, accountable for your team's outcomes, its people, and its craft.
• You built software before you led people building it, and you have not left that behind, so you bring strong technical experience and judgment into conversations about what we build.
• You are not the team's technical lead. You draw the technical vision out of your most senior engineers and unlock it.
• You have your own point of view on what is worth building, what the data can support, and what AI can build and extend, and you bring recommendations to your Product and Design partners rather than questions.
• You think in systems rather than features, and you lead the team to build capabilities that compound instead of a growing list of one-off features.
• You hold a high performance bar for the people you lead, you develop them, and you lead the team through change rather than waiting for it.
• You collaborate laterally and operate as a peer to the other Engineering Managers in the organization. The product and business instincts you bring raises the bar for every team here, not just your own.
