Engineering Manager - Fintech, Lodging

The company hopper is currently seeking a highly skilled Engineering Manager to join their team in Toronto, with the option to work remotely. This role is focused on the development of fintech products, specifically the Hotels CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) service, which is a rapidly growing product that allows travelers to cancel their bookings and receive a refund without any questions asked. As an engineering leader, the successful candidate will be responsible for leading a high-performing product team to build durable and scalable systems, while also serving as a credible technical leader who can work closely with partners to scope and deliver integrations.

The day-to-day responsibilities of this role will involve leading a small team of approximately three engineers, with a focus on leveraging AI tooling, prioritization, and autonomy to drive output. The Engineering Manager will be expected to be hands-on, producing actual artifacts with AI such as prototypes, technical specs, and partner-facing API examples, rather than simply reviewing code from a distance. This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise, leadership skills, and partnership-building abilities, with the goal of delivering high-quality products and services to partners and travelers alike.

The company offers a remote work model, providing the flexibility to work from anywhere, and is looking for a candidate who can thrive in this environment. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background, experience in leading engineering teams, and a proven track record of delivering scalable and durable systems. In return, the company offers a range of benefits and the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge fintech product that is revolutionizing the way travelers book and cancel their trips.
