About the role

As an Engineering Manager, you will drive the successful delivery and execution of projects within your teams.

You will also be responsible for maintaining high technical standards, managing team bandwidth, and ensuring project milestones are met with efficiency and accuracy.

• Own delivery and execution across cross-functional teams within the product area. Evaluate business and product requirements for feasibility and ensure they align with the existing product architecture, translating them into EPICs and technical stories. Work closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, and Engineers to refine and groom tasks.
• Plan and organize sprints with clearly defined goals, using project planning tools to establish timelines, and delivery milestones, and identify task dependencies early. Foster engineering processes that promote seamless collaboration and teamwork.
• Track team velocity to ensure resources are effectively allocated, balancing bandwidth with task demands. Coordinate alignment and manage dependencies across multiple stakeholders to prevent bottlenecks and ensure smooth execution.
• Contribute to critical projects by ensuring appropriate design patterns and coding techniques are applied. Remain hands-on, participating in code reviews to uphold high-quality standards.
• Ensure monitoring and observability are in place for all owned services, meeting defined SLIs/SLOs. Partner with Product Managers to track and publish post-deployment product metrics, ensuring transparency with key stakeholders.

• Expertise in breaking down complex product requirements into structured EPICs, Stories, and Tasks.
• Solid experience with backend technologies. Experience with frontend is a plus.
• Knowledge of project planning tools for visualizing and tracking delivery timelines.
• Familiarity with engineering metrics and monitoring tools to assess team performance and product health.
• Capability to debug complex technical issues during incidents to identify solutions and run blameless RCA sessions.
• Understanding of deployment pipelines, continuous integration (CI), continuous deployment (CD), and their corresponding metrics.
• Ability to drive alignment across diverse technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Exceptional ability to manage dependencies, mitigate risks, and communicate clearly with stakeholders.
• Proven track record of improving team velocity and fostering efficient delivery.
• BSc in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
