We’re on a mission to end the debt cycle—and help our customers and their communities unlock economic mobility for generations to come. Join the team that’s making our goal a reality.
At Possible, we’re building a new type of consumer finance company. One that helps our customers stay out of debt rather than profits from them staying in it. As a Public Benefit Corporation, it's our mission and responsibility to help communities unlock economic mobility—with affordable credit products designed to improve financial health.
Founded in 2017, our lead VCs are Canvas and Union Square Ventures. We are a distributed company with a global workforce, headquartered in Seattle, WA. We have over 100,000 reviews on the App Store and an average rating of 4.8 stars. Just as we are committed to building a new type of consumer finance company, we are equally dedicated to the employee experience.
Since our founding, we’ve redefined how people approach small-dollar loans—delivering over one billion dollars in funding to more than one million customers, issuing over four million loans, and saving our customers more than five hundred million dollars.
About the Team
Our Platform Team forms the technical foundation of Possible's FinTech products. We own critical infrastructure, deployment systems, and technical standards that power our engineering organization. We're a small, focused team (4 developers: 2 frontend, 2 backend) handling a mix of infrastructure, DevOps, DevEx, and platform engineering.
We play a pivotal role in architectural decisions, ensuring that our systems are designed for scale, security, and maintainability. By collaborating closely with product teams, we help shape technical solutions that align with our business goals while maintaining our technical standards.
Currently, we're taking on the challenges of scaling our infrastructure to support our growing user base while developing reusable components that accelerate product development. We're enhancing our observability systems, refining our architectural patterns, and building robust developer tooling that reduces friction and improves efficiency across engineering teams.
The Role
As Engineering Manager, you'll be responsible for the Platform Team while maintaining significant hands-on technical involvement. This role requires direct technical contributions to our infrastructure, not just oversight. You'll architect solutions, implement improvements, and actively drive our platform evolution.
What You'll Do
- Lead and develop our 4-person platform engineering team
- Actively contribute technical solutions to our AWS infrastructure
- Design and implement containerization strategies and CI/CD pipelines
- Architect technical standards for observability, monitoring, and reliability
- Drive infrastructure-as-code practices and implementation
- Directly participate in on-call rotations and technical incident response
- Ensure our platform meets security and compliance requirements for FinTech
Requirements
- 3+ years engineering management experience
- Strong hands-on technical abilities in cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
- Direct experience implementing and managing containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Practical expertise with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar)
- Experience developing and optimizing build and deployment pipelines
- Deep knowledge of observability systems and alerting frameworks
- Track record of personally implementing infrastructure solutions, not just directing work
- Experience with security and compliance in infrastructure design
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
Location and Benefits:
We prefer people located in Seattle or those willing to relocate. We have a hybrid work style, with the team meeting at our downtown office three times weekly.
We offer a competitive salary range of $187,760.00 - $197,650.00 annually, with significant equity potential based on experience and qualifications. Our comprehensive benefits package includes health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off.
Possible Finance is dedicated to financial fairness and community empowerment. We welcome diverse perspectives and experiences to help us achieve our mission of unlocking economic mobility for generations to come.
