Are you excited to unlock the power of generative AI to shape the future of intelligent enterprise software? Do you thrive leading full-stack engineers in solving complex platform challenges that blend deep systems thinking with cutting-edge AI? Are you motivated to coach, contribute, and build a high-performing team working on transformative agent technology? If so, we invite you to be a part of our innovative team.

As an Engineering Manager on Ridgeline’s Agent Foundry team, you will guide a team of engineers building AI-powered agents that drive automation, streamline workflows, and deliver measurable value to investment management professionals. These agents live at the intersection of large language models, structured and unstructured data, and domain-specific workflows—and your leadership will ensure they are reliable, scalable, and impactful. In this role, you’ll stay close to the codebase while mentoring engineers, collaborating across disciplines, and advancing technical strategy. You'll harness AI tools like Cursor and ChatGPT to accelerate development and encourage experimentation. This is a unique opportunity to lead a high-ownership team at the forefront of enterprise AI adoption, all while helping shape a startup that’s rethinking what investment management software can look like.

You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.
