You will manage a team of 4–8 engineers, coordinate sprint planning with Product, QA and Operations, and partner with a Tech Lead and Platform Engineer. This is a hybrid role with international scope and growth opportunities.
Qualifications
- 7+ years of software development experience, including at least 3 years directly managing engineering teams.

- Own sprint delivery and predictability, balancing new features and maintenance of the line's product, and agree the line's quarterly objectives with Product.
- Ensure the Tech Lead and developers break every user story down into technical tasks before sprint planning, and review that the breakdown covers the acceptance criteria, follows IT best practices, identifies dependencies and fits the team's capacity.
- Validate technical designs and implementation plans with the Tech Lead, and take part in design and code reviews.
- Ensure quality together with QA and the Tech Lead: acceptance criteria, code review standards, bug triage by impact and urgency, coordination of critical incidents and technical debt management.
- Analyze the root cause of recurring bugs, validate release readiness (documentation, monitoring and support) and monitor stability and performance after deployment.
- Act as the technical counterpart of markets and internal departments for your line's product: understand how they operate with it, respond to their technical issues and requests, and communicate status and risks in business terms. Product remains the owner of requirements and priorities.
- Assess client requests within agreed timelines and communicate scope, risks and dates.
- Measure and report the team's delivery, quality and team-health indicators to the CTO.

Job description
BUSUP is a global corporate mobility company helping organizations rethink how their people get to work. Through a technology-driven, asset-light model, we combine data, AI-powered route optimization, operational expertise, and a trusted network of local transport operators to make employee commuting more efficient, flexible, and sustainable.
We partner with large companies across Europe, Latin America, and North America to design, manage, and continuously improve shared mobility solutions that reduce costs, lower emissions, and create a better commuting experience for employees. At BUSUP, we believe the future of corporate mobility is smarter, more connected, and built around people, helping companies move their teams with greater efficiency, visibility, and impact.
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead one of our product development teams. You will lead a development line end to end —people, delivery, quality and maintenance of its product— so that it delivers robust, maintainable software predictably and on time, with increasing autonomy from the CTO.
You will work alongside Product, QA and Operations, supported by a Tech Lead and a Platform Engineer dedicated to your line, reporting to the CTO.
