About this role
Futurex is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team of software/firmware engineers building world-class HSM and Key Management products. You'll be the direct people manager for your team — responsible for their day-to-day performance, growth, and delivery. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll balance people management with enough technical fluency to unblock your team and speak credibly to engineering tradeoffs.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the direct manager for a team of software engineers — own 1:1s, performance reviews, PTO/attendance, and career development
- Ensure day-to-day accountability: your team shows up, communicates blockers early, and delivers on commitments
- Own sprint/project planning in partnership with product and program management; keep timelines realistic and on track
- Identify and resolve delivery risks before they become missed deadlines
- Partner with senior engineers on technical direction without necessarily writing production code yourself
- Hire, onboard, and ramp new engineers on the team
- Escalate resourcing, scope, or cross-team dependency issues to leadership proactively
- Foster a culture of ownership, quality, and accountability
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years managing software or firmware engineers, ideally in a regulated, security-sensitive, or hardware-adjacent industry
- Strong track record of hitting delivery timelines and managing performance/accountability issues directly and fairly
- Comfortable reading technical work (code reviews, architecture docs) even if not actively coding
- Excellent communication skills — comfortable delivering hard feedback and escalating risk early
- Experience with agile/scrum delivery methodologies
- Prior engineering background (CS degree or equivalent experience) preferred but not required if management track record is strong
- Experience managing distributed/remote engineering teams
- Background in cryptography, PKI, HSMs, or payments/security industries
- Experience with performance improvement plans and difficult personnel conversations
- Health, dental, vision, life, and short/long-term disability insurance
- Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave
- Competitive compensation and opportunities for advancement
- Retirement plan with employer contribution match
- Welcoming, family-style corporate culture uniquely suited to fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and motivated individuals
- One of San Antonio’s “Best Places to Work” for nine consecutive years
