About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Drive squad execution and delivery velocity across 1–2 product squads, establishing clear metrics to ensure predictable, high-impact releases.
  • Lead technical domain strategy by actively challenging architectural choices and the product roadmap, driving complex backend refactoring and reducing technical debt.
  • Dig into delivery and technical bottlenecks with a true "hands-on" mindset—understand system design, architecture, and performance metrics without needing to write daily production code.
  • Recruit, mentor, and elevate a team of senior software developers (6 to 10 FTE), raising the technical bar and fostering high-accountability engineering practices.
  • Unblock complex organizational and technical dependencies across Product, Sales, and Enterprise Integration teams, acting as a high-agency owner.
  • Co-construct technical roadmaps in close partnership with Product Managers, Tech Leads, and Senior Engineering Leadership to align engineering strategy with business growth.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Degree preferably in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Proven experience in engineering management with a focus on managing scaling milestones within hyper-growth product companies or scale-ups.
  • Strong engineering curiosity and system-design expertise; you bring the technical depth to challenge estimates, audit architectural trade-offs, and diagnose performance regressions beyond surface-level reporting.
  • Experience leading gradual organizational transitions and building trust, paired with genuine, ongoing technical curiosity—you still enjoy experimenting with technologies, reading, and exploring new topics.
  • Languages: Native-level English.
