Credit Karma is looking for an engineering manager / lead to be a part of our leadership team. We’re working hard to bring credit knowledge to the masses and build up a healthy base of credit within our users. If you have a technical background and are interested in all the challenges of people leadership, you might make a great fit for engineering management at CK.

Data Engineering, Data Services, and Analytics / Data Sciences cooperate on efforts to make our users have the best experience possible. You work on the technology that provides API endpoints for data gathering efforts, process model execution, and interface with our offer recommendation system.
