Engineering Manager (all genders)

What you will do

• You lead several of our engineering teams - responsible for the people, the culture, and what the teams deliver.
• You are accountable for delivery: you translate strategy into measurable targets and course-correct when results fall short.
• You and your teams work on customer-facing products and the backend systems behind them.
• You work closely with Product and hold your teams to a quality bar rather than delegating it.
• You work with our Staff Engineers to keep architectural direction and delivery reality aligned.
• You establish transparent decision-making, mediate conflict, and resolve misalignment before it escalates.

Your profile

• You have proven experience leading and developing engineers.
• You have several years of experience in software development, including hands-on technical management — web-based solutions, API design, and server-client interactions.
• You bring solid backend experience and enough breadth to hold a design and architecture conversation with senior engineers - from infrastructure and platform topics through to customer-facing web and mobile.
• You are communicatively strong, decisive, and assertive, with excellent conflict-resolution skills, empathy, and a coaching approach.
• You have a solid understanding of agile ways of working and the technical challenges of software development.
• You still build things yourself with AI - a prototype, a tool, an automation - and you intend to keep doing so as a manager.
• You are fluent in English; German is a plus.
