About the Role

FMG Testimonials helps financial advisors collect, review, and publish client testimonials and reviews. We are hiring a Lead Engineer, Testimonials to own the day-to-day engineering of this platform.

This is a hands-on lead role. You will be the senior technical owner of the Testimonials codebase and infrastructure, working directly with Product on roadmap and delivery, and setting the technical direction for a small, focused team. It is deliberately weighted toward building: we want someone who leads by doing the hardest work on the team and bringing others along, not someone who manages from a distance.

You will report to the SVP of Engineering and partner closely with Testimonials product leadership.

Our ideal candidate is a senior engineer who has been the technical anchor for a product — someone comfortable owning a Kubernetes-based service end to end, who has taken a platform through a compliance certification or is eager to, and who wants the ownership of a whole product rather than a slice of a large one.

Compensation This position offers $150,000-$160,000 depending on qualifications and experience.

Primary Responsibilities & Expectations

Technical Ownership

• Own the Testimonials platform end to end — architecture, code quality, infrastructure, and production reliability
• Operate and evolve the Kubernetes-based deployment: scaling, observability, cost, and release process
• Make and document the architectural decisions for the platform
• Maintain and improve the platform's operational documentation 

Delivery Leadership

• Run day-to-day delivery for the Testimonials team: scoping, sequencing, and shipping against the product roadmap
• Partner directly with Product on roadmap tradeoffs, technical feasibility, and release planning
• Set and hold the engineering standard for the team through code review, design review, and mentorship
• Lead a small team of engineers, growing their technical range and ownership

Compliance & Security

• Own the engineering workstream for SOC 2 compliance — access management, audit evidence, change control, and secure development practices
• Partner with InfoSec and Compliance on the controls that keep a regulated-industry product defensible
• Build compliance-aware features 

Platform Integration & AI

• Lead the technical work integrating Testimonials with the broader FMG platform — shared identity, data, and adjacent business systems
• Partner with FMG's AI Architecture function to bring agentic and AI-assisted capabilities into the Testimonials experience
• Adopt FMG's AI-native development tooling and standards, and contribute back what works for a small team

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including senior or lead technical ownership of a production SaaS product
• Strong hands-on experience running services on Kubernetes, including deployment, observability, and troubleshooting in production
• Demonstrated ownership of a codebase end to end
• Experience leading a small team or workstream: setting standards, reviewing work, and developing other engineers
• Comfortable partnering directly with Product on roadmap and tradeoffs, and communicating clearly with non-technical stakeholders
• Track record of shipping reliably in a small-team environment where you own more than one discipline
• Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting scope in a fast-moving environment

At FMG, we believe in the wholehearted acceptance of each other regardless of our differences. We strive to foster an environment that allows everyone to contribute to our mission in their unique ways. With the belief that diversity propels innovation, we are continually finding ways to cultivate a commitment to inclusion in our employees, services, and products, as well as in the communities in which we live and work. 

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer committed to providing employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, creed, color, gender, religion, marital status, domestic partner status, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, pregnancy, military or veteran status, and genetic information.  If you require accommodation to complete the application or interview process, please contact [email protected].
