DO YOU WANT TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF VALUE TRANSFER? At Elliptic, we're solving problems that have never been solved before. Our technology helps financial institutions and crypto businesses navigate one of the most complex and fast-moving compliance challenges in the world. Our engineering platform sits at the heart of everything we do, and we're growing fast. We're hiring multiple Engineering Managers to lead teams across three tracks as we scale. This is a rare opportunity to join at a genuine inflection point, with the autonomy to build teams and working cultures you're proud of.     OUR OPEN POSITIONS We're hiring one EM for each of the following areas: Data Engineering You'll lead the engineers building the data pipelines, ETLs, and analytical infrastructure that power Elliptic's compliance intelligence. A background in data engineering or analytics engineering is important here. You'll need to credibly support and challenge engineers working with large-scale data systems. DevOps and Platform You'll lead the engineers responsible for the reliability, scalability, and developer experience of Elliptic's platform. An infrastructure or platform engineering background will help you earn trust quickly and make good technical judgement calls alongside your team. Product Engineering You'll lead two teams building Elliptic's customer-facing products: one focused on a high-throughput screening API with a supporting interface, and one building a visual graph explorer used by investigators and analysts. A full-stack or API engineering background will help you understand the trade-offs your teams face day-to-day.     THE OPPORTUNITY Elliptic's engineering organisation has grown significantly and is continuing to scale. Engineering Managers are the core of our culture and the people we trust to shape how our teams operate and how our engineers grow. We're looking for the right individuals to take genuine ownership of that, bringing their own experience and judgement to a set
