Financial Services Organization- Tax - Engineering Manager - Hands-On-Agentic SDLC - EDGE

About the role

Join EY and help to build a better working world. As part of our Financial Services Organization (FSO), you will be part of a technology organization that develops and maintains innovative solutions for our client-serving Tax professionals.

Responsibilities

• Contribute code weekly using agents; hands-on technical execution is a core responsibility of the role, not an optional activity
• Own, version, and continuously improve the domain's agent operating instructions
• Review pull requests and provide timely, actionable technical feedback
• Directly remediate, ship, and manage the team's technical debt backlog rather than solely delegating it
• Leverage agentic SDLC practices to increase throughput on bounded components with well-defined interfaces
• Keep coordination lean and outcome-focused, identifying dependencies and risks early
• Serve as the primary owner of the team's technical direction, architecture decisions, and long-term technical health
• Define and drive the technical roadmap, balancing new feature delivery, modernization initiatives, and technical debt reduction
• Hire engineers for the team and maintain a high bar for technical talent
• Evaluate and develop engineers through regular feedback, coaching, and growth planning
• Coach the team to work effectively and responsibly with AI agents
• Uphold engineering principles across the full software lifecycle, including design, development, testing, release, and operations
• Apply documented verification protocols appropriate to each artifact type, including code, tests, documentation, and infrastructure
• Run evaluations prior to merge and retain human-controlled approval and merge authority for production branches
• Track and report key engineering metrics, including required reporting to Atlassian Compass
• Facilitate bi-weekly demonstrations from the cloud environment, showcasing both product capabilities and agent-assisted workflows
• Partner closely with the dedicated production support organization, which owns frontline product operations
• Reduce operational toil through automation, including agent-assisted workflows where appropriate
• Implement explicit guardrails, blast-radius controls, and audit trails for all production-impacting automation
• Maintain an up-to-date inventory of WIZ Critical and Major findings and ensure timely remediation within established SLAs

Requirements

The ideal candidate is a strong technical practitioner who wants to amplify their impact, remains actively engaged in building, and is excited to leverage agents as part of the development process—not someone looking to step away from hands-on engineering.

• Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems and make significant technical contributions
• Proven track record of owning technical direction, architecture decisions, and a long-term technical roadmap
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• A genuine appetite for building with a small team and agents, and for continuous learning
