Weâre hiring an engineering leader to lead our Entity Management team. This team is responsible for building new business services that help companies form, maintain, and manage business entities throughout their lifecycle. These products automate complex, multi-step workflows through agentic systems that act on behalf of our customers.
This is a team taking early products to general availability. Youâll partner with a small, cross-functional group of functional leads spanning Product, Go-to-Market, and Operations to scale these products through embedded partner distribution. Youâll work closely with legal and compliance SMEs, and with engineers on your team to build and extend agentic automationâscrapers, portal bots, and intelligent workflow orchestrationâthat powers our products at scale.
Your primary responsibility will be the success of your team of 6â8 engineers. This includes hiring, coaching, and mentoring to ensure your team delivers impactful results for the business. While this is primarily a management role, youâll need deep technical fluency to guide architectural decisions, scope new products, evaluate trade-offs in automation strategies, and engage meaningfully with your teamâs work.
