Our flagship enterprise solution combines advanced search engine technology with AI-powered fraud detection to deliver real-time transaction intelligence at scale. Trusted by some of the world’s largest banks, our platform handles massive volumes of data and turns it into actionable insights

We’re looking for an experienced Software Engineering Manager to lead and grow our engineering team in Poland. You’ll play a key role in shaping the team’s delivery, culture, and technical direction, reporting directly to the Head of Product Development.

This role combines people leadership, technical oversight, and cross‑functional collaboration — working closely with Product Management and Customer Delivery to bring complex, data‑driven products to life.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of engineers through regular 1:1s, feedback, and mentoring — creating an environment where people learn, grow, and perform at their best.
• Oversee performance management, training, and recruitment for your team.
• Guide technical delivery: ensure quality, remove blockers, and help the team make sound engineering decisions.
• Implement and continuously improve product development processes that support scalability and efficiency.
• Collaborate with Product Management to shape roadmaps, refine requirements, and translate business goals into engineering outcomes.
• Work with Customer Delivery to resolve project gaps and customer issues quickly and effectively.
• Participate in architecture discussions and committees, contributing to design and specification reviews.
• Partner with subject matter experts to ensure robust, high‑quality system design and implementation.

What You Bring

• 7+ years’ experience in software development, including hands‑on or architectural experience with Java and related technologies.
• Background as a developer or technical lead before moving into management.
• Demonstrated experience managing teams working on large‑scale or real‑time data processing systems — i.e., products handling significant data volumes, distributed computation, or complex data pipelines.
• Solid understanding of Agile development, CI/CD, DevOps, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Strong track record of building cohesive, motivated teams — especially with junior or early‑career engineers.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a collaborative, positive, and culturally aware leadership style.
• Fluency in English and Polish.
