Engineering Manager, Advisor Experience at Addepar | LAYIQ

Partner with product management and design to define roadmaps, prioritize work, and deliver on initiatives that directly shape the advisor-client experience on Addepar's platform.
Own the team's technical direction — guide architecture decisions, conduct design reviews, and stay close enough to the codebase to provide meaningful feedback in code reviews.
Drive execution across the team using well-defined goal-setting frameworks, balancing ambitious delivery targets with sustainable engineering practices.
Recruit and hire engineers as the team grows, setting a high bar for both technical ability and collaborative fit.
Collaborate across engineering teams to ensure the Advisor Experience products integrate cleanly with Addepar's broader platform — including the client portal, reporting infrastructure, and data layer.
Champion operational excellence — own the team's approach to testing, deployment, incident response, and technical debt management.
