R&D Manager

Tel Aviv
Work Type: Full Time


Fintastic is on a mission to reinvent financial planning for the modern enterprise. We’ve built the most advanced and scalable FP&A platform on the market—already replacing legacy giants like Anaplan and Workday Adaptive at companies like Priceline, Scale AI, Nextech, and others. After years of deep technical investment, we launched commercially last year and are growing fast, backed by top-tier VCs and strategic operators.

We’re now looking for an R&D manager to join our executive team and lead our talented engineering organization as we scale product, team, and infrastructure to the next level.


What You’ll Do

  • Own the full engineering roadmap—from architectural vision to execution—across a deeply technical, data-heavy product.

  • Build and lead a high-performing engineering team across backend, frontend, infrastructure, and DevOps.

  • Scale our product and platform to support complex enterprise workflows, massive multidimensional datasets, and next-gen AI capabilities.

  • Partner closely with the CEO, product, and go-to-market teams to align engineering with business goals and customer needs.

  • Maintain and evolve engineering culture: quality-first, fast-moving, pragmatic, and highly collaborative.

  • Make key architectural decisions to ensure performance, scalability, and security as we scale rapidly.


Our Stack

  • Backend: Python, Redis, PostgreSQL

  • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, AWS

  • Frontend: React, TypeScript

  • Data & AI: Proprietary multi-dimensional cube engine + Smartastic (our algorithmic layer for planning & modeling)


What We’re Looking For

  • 8+ years in software engineering, with at least 3+ years leading R&D or engineering teams in production environments of B2B SaaS companies.

  • Experience with complex system architecture, distributed systems, or data-heavy platforms (ideally B2B, enterprise-facing).

  • Hands-on background in Python and web-based applications —comfortable making and challenging technical decisions.

  • Strong leadership and communication skills—you can inspire, challenge, and support engineers at all levels.

  • Thrive under pressure, always-on mentality 

  • Bonus: Experience in the planning, analytics, or finance-tech space.


Why Fintastic

  • Real product-market fit – 11x ARR growth in 12 months, competitive wins against industry giants.

  • High-impact team – We’re product-first, engineer-led, and obsessively customer-focused.

  • Deep tech challenge – We’re solving multidimensional data modeling with a full-blown platform A to Z, from ETL connectivity to source systems, permissions, collaboration, visualization, all the way to AI-assisted decision-making at scale.

  • Stage and upside – Join us on the steep part of the growth curve and shape what comes next.
