About the role:

As an Engineering Manager (m/f/d), you will lead multiple cross-functional engineering teams responsible for customer-facing products and internal platforms.

Working closely with Product and business stakeholders, you will help shape solutions that create customer and business value.

About the tech landscape:

Our teams build and operate cloud-native, microservice-based applications following a “you build it, you run it” approach. Cross-functional product teams have end-to-end ownership and use modern engineering practices, automation, observability, and data to continuously improve their products and services.

Job Description

About your tasks:

• Lead, hire, coach, and develop multiple engineering teams, fostering an inclusive and psychologically safe culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Establish a clear engineering agenda based on an understanding of the teams’ strengths, challenges, and opportunities.
• Partner with Product Managers to shape priorities and balance customer value, business needs, delivery commitments, and technical excellence.
• Create clarity around priorities and ownership, proactively manage risks, communicate them early, and ensure reliable follow-through on commitments.
• Support engineers through regular feedback, career development, mentoring, and performance management.
• Provide technical direction, help teams address root causes, and steer them towards simple, maintainable solutions without acting as an individual contributor.
• Collaborate with engineering leaders and stakeholders, addressing conflicts constructively and driving cross-team initiatives.
• Use data and measurable outcomes to improve delivery, reliability, cost efficiency, team effectiveness, and customer impact.

Qualifications

About you:

• Experience leading multiple engineering teams in a product-oriented environment.
• A strong track record of creating direction, driving execution, and achieving measurable outcomes.
• A passion for coaching, mentoring, and helping engineers grow.
• Sufficient technical depth to recognize what good looks like, challenge constructively, and guide teams towards sound decisions.
• A proactive, structured leadership style with strong ownership and follow-through.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust and effective partnerships across Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and Business.
• Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, modern software engineering practices, and agile product development.
• Experience in e-commerce is a plus, but not required.
