Engineering Manager, Identity & Access

The Role

We are seeking an Engineering Manager (Warsaw, Poland) with a strong technical background in full-stack development to lead our Identity and Access engineering staff.

Ultimately, you will foster an environment of engineering excellence, empowering your team to build the next generation of features that prepare Addepar for the demands of modern, AI-driven users.
