Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.
We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.
Socure’s Document Verification (DocV) backend platform sits at the core of our identity trust infrastructure, powering real-time document analysis, machine learning inference, and high-confidence decisioning at massive scale. We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the DocV Backend Engineering team and shape the systems that millions of identity decisions rely on every day.
This role is ideal for a technically strong, execution-driven leader who thrives at the intersection of architecture, delivery, and people leadership—someone who can raise the bar on performance, reliability, and security while partnering closely with Product, Data Science, Infrastructure, and Security to turn complex problems into production-grade solutions.
What You’ll DoLead and develop a backend engineering team (6–8 engineers), fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, and technical excellence.
Own execution of backend initiatives aligned with the DocV product roadmap and business objectives.
Drive architectural decisions for distributed systems, APIs, and data pipelines supporting document ingestion, ML inference, and real-time decisioning.
Partner with Data Science teams to productionize computer vision and machine learning models in scalable, observable production environments.
Ensure backend systems meet strict requirements for latency, throughput, availability, and fault tolerance.
Establish and uphold best practices for code quality, testing, observability, security, and privacy compliance.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Frontend, Mobile, Infrastructure, Security, and Product teams to deliver end-to-end features.
Anticipate scaling, reliability, and operational challenges and proactively drive solutions that reduce risk and execution friction.
8+ years of backend software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership or engineering management role.
Proven experience designing and operating large-scale, distributed systems.
Strong expertise with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), APIs, and microservices.
Experience supporting ML-driven services in production.
Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction across teams.
