- Stay technically close to the codebase through design and pull request reviews, pairing, and building non-critical path tooling or prototypes.
- Partner with Product Managers and Designers in customer discovery and align engineering trade-offs to business outcomes.
- Own flow of work and operational excellence using delivery signals such as DORA metrics, cycle time, and deployment frequency.
- Champion the team's adoption of AI-native engineering and agentic workflows across the software development lifecycle.
- Set quarterly delivery plans, manage roadmaps and dependencies, and serve as Incident Commander when required.
What you bring
- 3+ years of recent experience as an Engineering Manager leading software engineering teams, ideally in SaaS product companies.
- Strong, hands-on software engineering background with the ability to review code, architecture, and system designs.
- Proven track record in hiring, onboarding, coaching, and managing software engineers.
- Experience using engineering flow metrics (such as DORA or cycle time) to remove bottlenecks and improve delivery.
- Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development and agentic coding tools personally and across a team.
- Legal right to work and residency in the United Kingdom, Latvia, or Spain.
