Engineering Manager - EMEA - Remote

Role overview Lead the people management and operating practices of several engineering teams, helping them plan, grow, and deliver work that produces measurable customer and business value. This is a leadership role centered on coaching, team health, hiring, and delivery systems rather than hands-on software development. It also calls for introducing AI into engineering workflows while retaining human review and accountability.

Responsibilities - Coach engineers and team leads through regular one-to-ones, feedback, performance reviews, and career development. - Coordinate planning, release, incident, and retrospective practices across teams, improving them where needed. - Work with product, design, data, and technical program leadership to align priorities and keep delivery predictable. - Support engineering recruitment, candidate assessment, and onboarding. - Address team conflict, performance concerns, and burnout fairly and early, while building an inclusive environment. - Keep informed about team architecture, risks, and roadmaps so you can support technical leads and ask useful questions. - Connect delivery plans to agreed outcomes, encourage open learning from setbacks, and promote responsible use of AI tools.

Requirements - Several years managing engineers, ideally across multiple teams or through other managers in a SaaS or fast-growing product environment. - Evidence of improving team delivery and working practices, with measurable results. - Strong people leadership skills, including coaching, candid feedback, performance management, and talent development. - Experience interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and retaining engineers while supporting diverse teams. - Technical fluency to follow architecture and trade-off discussions, identify risks, and earn engineers’ trust without needing to code. - A record of teams delivering measurable customer or business outcomes. - Experience introducing AI tools into team workflows, with clear human oversight.
