About Tomo

Tomo’s mission is not just to make homebuying joyful, or to make homebuying easy, or to make homebuying fast. Tomo’s mission is to advantage the homebuyer. Everyone else is in line ready to take their cut from a homebuyer - and all too often that cut is not deserved. We are by their side trying to give them a leg up, trying to give them information others don’t have, give them advice others don’t have, give them a lower cost that others don’t have - all that they can use to achieve better outcomes than they’d be able to otherwise.

As an Engineering Manager at Tomo, you will oversee an engineering team building the software to provide the customer that homebuying edge. You will hire and nurture the best engineering talent and be accountable for your team's delivery of software systems and maintenance of those systems in production. As part of the engineering management team you will collaborate with your peers to seize opportunities for innovation, facilitate continuous process and technical improvements, and bring clarity and alignment to the engineering teams for what we build and how we build it.

You will:

Lead, mentor and develop a team of engineers (5-9), providing guidance and support for their professional development
Foster a culture of candor, transparency, trust and decisiveness
Be ready and able to join your teams in the code and at the (virtual) whiteboard, designing and delivering solutions to improve homebuyer experience
Coach your teams to think and debate deeply, make nimble decisions, learn and iterate quickly
Be accountable for your team's planning, delivery, and maintenance of software systems across the Tomo stack, including deployment, monitoring, and validation
Collaborate with Tomo product and business stakeholders to define and drive the engineering roadmap for your team
Establish and reinforce healthy software engineering practices and guide the team in flexing them appropriately for early-stage product exploration vs long-term platform scalability
Support deployed systems in production as part of an on-call rotation.

You’ll need:

7+ years of delivering meaningful software projects to production – including ideation, prioritization, design, release and follow-up iteration
2+ years experience leading team process and guiding technical direction
Proven ability to hire and coach exceptional engineers and provide technical leadership across an engineering organization
A deep understanding of front-end and back-end technology frameworks, data structures, service patterns, and how to use them to produce reliable, extensible, scalable systems
Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices, including logging, monitoring, continuous integration/deployment and automated testing
Strong project management abilities, including experience with agile and/or scrum techniques
Good understanding of AWS and cloud-based operational contexts
Expertise leading a geographically distributed team
Exceptional customer empathy and collaboration skills
To be inquisitive, ready to engage in vibrant debate, make difficult decisions quickly, learn continuously and coach your team to do the same

You might also have:

High-growth startup experience
Experience with Fintech or mortgage technology systems
Hands-on experience with modern Python, Javascript, or Typescript
Experience with large consumer-facing websites and driving demand via SEO
Strong opinions about the mortgage industry or homebuyer experience

Form CC-305

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
