Job summary

TensorX in Dublin is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead and grow our product engineering team for a sovereign AI infrastructure platform. You will own hiring, coaching and delivery while staying close to code and architecture to earn trust with senior ICs.

This hands-on leadership role focuses on shaping the team, setting standards, and delivering secure, scalable features across backend, inference and platform teams. Hybrid work in Dublin offered.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in software engineering, including meaningful time as a senior IC on modern full‑stack or platform product work.
• 2+ years leading engineers as a manager or equivalent (hiring, performance, coaching), ideally in a startup or scaleup.
• Strong technical judgement across TypeScript/JavaScript product stacks (React/Next.js and Node.js) with enough depth to review design and challenge trade‑offs.
• Proven experience building or tightening hiring loops and raising the talent bar.
• Comfort defining process from first principles for a small team (Agile‑informed, not dogma‑driven).
• Clear written and spoken communicator who can work directly with a CTO and senior engineers.
• Experience shipping SaaS or developer‑facing products in production.

Responsibilities

• People leadership - Hire, onboard, coach and performance‑manage engineers. Run 1:1s, set clear expectations and grow senior ICs without creating unnecessary hierarchy.
• Hiring bar - Partner with the CTO to define what “good” looks like, design interview loops and build a diverse, high‑performing team as we add multiple full‑stack and related roles.
• Delivery & process - Establish lightweight, reliable ways of working (planning, prioritisation, reviews, releases) that improve predictability without slowing a scaleup down.
• Technical leadership - Guide architectural decisions on the product stack, review designs and PRs where it matters and keep quality, security and operability high.
• Product partnership - Work with the CTO and product stakeholders to turn roadmap intent into sequenced engineering work, calling feasibility and trade‑offs early.
• Cross‑team collaboration - Coordinate with Golang and Python backend, inference and platform teams so product work lands cleanly on shared infrastructure and APIs.
• Operational excellence - Watch capacity, focus and engineering effectiveness; surface risks early and keep the team focused while still moving fast.
• Culture & craft - Champion testing, code review, reliability and operational discipline, plus AI‑assisted development practices. Foster a culture where people can do their best work.
