Zusammenfassung

Jobgether is seeking an Engineering Manager for a partner company operating in Switzerland, at the intersection of software, AI, and logistics. You will lead a team responsible for building products that modernize freight pricing, booking, and management.

As a player-coach, you’ll stay technically engaged while growing people, shaping roadmaps with Product, and driving AI-enabled engineering practices. You’ll also work directly with customers to understand real-world needs and drive delivery

Qualifikationen

• Proven experience managing software engineers, including hiring, coaching, performance management, team development, and predictable delivery.
• Strong backend engineering background with solid architecture instincts and sufficient technical depth to contribute credibly to engineering decisions.
• Demonstrated delivery experience, with a track record of shipping meaningful products or features against defined timelines and an ability to explain both successes and setbacks.
• Experience building and scaling teams, including assessing candidates for potential, closing senior hires, and creating effective onboarding experiences.
• Genuine interest in AI-led software development and willingness to use AI engineering tools directly rather than managing the practice from the outside.
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to diagnose organizational or delivery problems and improve the underlying process rather than simply increasing effort.
• Strong partnership skills with Product and the ability to jointly shape what should be built, why it matters, and when it should be delivered.
• Customer orientation and willingness to engage directly with users and bring engineering teams into those conversations.
• Excellent written and verbal English, with the ability to communicate clearly in a remote-first environment.

Aufgaben

• Own engineering delivery, ensuring teams ship high-quality software predictably while maintaining clear commitments, priorities, and standards.
• Lead, coach, and develop engineers through meaningful one-to-ones, career development, feedback, performance management, and thoughtful team practices.
• Own engineering hiring, including defining the hiring bar, conducting interviews, assessing candidates, and setting new hires up for success.
• Partner closely with Product as an equal contributor, shaping roadmaps, negotiating scope, challenging requirements when appropriate, and protecting teams from unnecessary delivery churn.
• Help the team increase its effectiveness with AI-led engineering by improving how engineers use AI agents, sharing successful practices, removing friction, and evolving development workflows.
• Contribute to the evolution toward more autonomous AI-agent workflows, helping establish appropriate guardrails, harnesses, review standards, and engineering practices.
• Stay technically involved for approximately one day per week through code reviews, architecture discussions, or selected engineering work.
• Engage directly with customers, including freight forwarders and airlines, to understand problems firsthand and bring engineers closer to real-world user needs.
• Improve team systems and processes by identifying delivery bottlenecks, strengthening workflows, and using data to drive operational improvements.
• Help establish consistent engineering practices across distributed teams while maintaining a high bar for technical quality and customer impact.
