The role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead two cross-functional teams, 11 engineers in total. It’s a fully remote position on a sharp, experienced, and motivated team, where you’ll be empowered to lead with purpose, build for scale, and grow engineering excellence.

You’ll lead the delivery, optimize team performance, and foster a culture of ownership, quality, and collaboration.

If you’re a strategic thinker who still loves to stay close to technology, we want to hear from you.

 

What you will do

  • Lead and inspire two cross-functional engineering teams to deliver high-impact work with quality and speed

  • Set and drive the technical direction in close partnership with strong Technical Leads

  • Hire, develop, and retain top engineering talent – you’re a coach and enabler, not just a manager

  • Define and refine team processes for high-quality outcomes, efficient delivery, and continuous improvement

  • Build realistic roadmaps with Product Managers and keep backlogs well-prioritized and aligned

  • Plan and manage capacity, resources, and risk – balancing delivery with innovation

  • Proactively surface bottlenecks and delivery risks early, and act on them before they become blockers

  • Be the bridge between engineering and business, keeping stakeholders aligned and informed

  • Explore how AI can raise both product value and team efficiency

 

What you bring

  • A hands-on technical background: we’re stack-agnostic, so strong Backend, Frontend, or mobile experience all qualify

  • People management experience: growing team members and managing performance

  • Project management strength: organizing work, communicating with stakeholders, analyzing risk, and solving problems before they escalate

  • High-level English (B2+): essential for day-to-day work with our English-speaking teams and Product Managers

  • Deep understanding of Agile, Scrum, and the software development lifecycle

  • A track record in requirements analysis and clear technical documentation

  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to rally a team around a shared vision

 

Nice to have

  • Experience building AI-powered features (we’re keen to use AI to work smarter)

  • Familiarity with parts of our stack: .Net, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Angular, AWS, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL

  • Experience with security best practices and B2B product development

We’re proud to be celebrated by our customers and teammates
