Purpose of Role:

This is a new opportunity to join our IT Department as an Engineering Manager, where you’ll lead a talented development team and play a key role in delivering high‑quality software solutions.

Our technology stack is built for scalability and performance. On the backend, we primarily use PHP (including Laravel) and MySQL, running in a Linux‑based environment. For the frontend, we work with vanilla JavaScript, Vue.js, and React, while our mobile applications are developed using React Native.

Role Overview:

As the Engineering Manager, you will lead and mentor a team of 3 developers, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement. You’ll be responsible for ensuring technical quality and consistency across all deliverables while partnering closely with Product teams to translate strategic goals into actionable engineering plans.

• Work with Product Owner to balance roadmap vs tech debt.
• Communicate progress, risks, and issues to leadership.

• Code quality metrics (defect rates, code review coverage, test coverage).
• Career progression (promotions, skills growth).
• Stakeholder satisfaction (POs, CTO, business partners).
