About EarnIn
As one of the first pioneers of earned wage access, our passion at EarnIn is building products that deliver real-time financial flexibility for those with the unique needs of living paycheck to paycheck. Our community members access their earnings as they earn them, with options to spend, save, and grow their money without mandatory fees, interest rates, or credit checks.
We’re fortunate to have an incredibly experienced leadership team, combined with world-class funding partners like A16Z, Matrix Partners, DST, Ribbit Capital, and a very healthy core business with a tremendous runway. We’re growing fast and are excited to continue bringing world-class talent onboard to help shape the next chapter of our growth journey.
As a Senior Engineering Manager on our Product Engineering team, you will lead and scale high-impact web pods to accelerate the delivery of customer-facing products critical to the organization's growth. Your teams will be experts in modern web technologies (React, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and will partner closely with Product, Analytics, Design, and Marketing to deliver measurable, data-driven business outcomes. You will also be leading a small pod of mobile engineers. This role is ideal for a strong senior technical people leader who excels in metrics-driven environments, drives clarity and urgency across teams, and amplifies impact through strong systems, processes, and talent development. You will also play a key role in leveraging AI tools and workflows to meaningfully increase engineering velocity, experimentation speed, and innovation.
This position will be hybrid from our Bengaluru office, as part of our expanding site, with 2+ days in the office. EarnIn provides excellent employee benefits, including healthcare, internet/cell phone reimbursement, a learning and development stipend, and opportunities to collaborate with and travel to our Mountain View HQ and Bangkok Site. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

- Build strong, durable cross-geo partnerships with US-based teams, creating clear operating rhythms and communication patterns across time zones.
- Attract, hire, and retain top-tier engineering talent; develop senior engineers and tech leads into force multipliers.
- Coach engineers and leaders at all levels through feedback, career development, and clear expectations.
- Foster a culture of ownership, urgency, and continuous improvement, while ensuring platform stability and reliability.

- Demonstrated ability to scale teams and execution in fast-moving, metrics-driven environments.
- Strong track record of delivering sustained impact in Growth, experimentation, or consumer-facing web products.
- Passionate, trusted people leader who builds high-performing, inclusive teams.
- Excellent knowledge of front-end web technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, and ReactJS.
- Experience building and supporting client-side and server-side rendered web applications at scale.

- Clear, effective communicator who can bridge teams across time zones and cultures.
- Comfortable using—or eager to adopt—modern AI tools to improve engineering workflows and experimentation velocity
- Strong technical judgment with the ability to guide architecture, review designs, and mentor senior engineers
- Bonus: Experience with SEO, performance optimization, and discoverability-focused web development.
