We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead a team building core internal infrastructure and developer-facing systems. This role sits at the intersection of project management, engineering leadership, and platform development. The team (Evaluation Engines / Data processing engines) owns foundational components which are embedded into higher level workflow engines and tools. Examples are formula evaluation, data transformation according to predefined mapping, decision models, etc.
The team is technically strong and highly autonomous. We are looking for an Engineering Manager who can operate effectively in this environment: someone with a strong engineering background who understands complex systems, but does not need to be the deepest technical expert in every area.
Your role will be to help experienced engineers work effectively together, create clarity across interconnected initiatives, and improve how the team plans, collaborates, and delivers.
Lead a strong engineering team
You will manage and develop experienced engineers with significant ownership of their technical domains. The team is mostly Rust engineers, however they also build libraries for several other programming languages: Go, Ruby, Java, Python, and WASM.You will be responsible for regular 1:1s, feedback, performance management, career development, hiring, onboarding, and team health.We expect you to create an environment where engineers can remain highly autonomous while having clear priorities, ownership, and accountability. You will be responsible for team capacity planning and hiring when needed.Build strong product
You will be working closely with Product Managers and department VP to define how the products look, what to build and in which order, what new exciting features we can bring to our customers. As this area is highly technical and speaks Computer Science terms at times, Product Managers will greatly rely on your and your team expertise to make decisions.You will be responsible for working with Quality Engineering and Product Security teams to deliver high-quality products. At the same time in this AI era we expect you to embrace new tools to shift quality and security scans left.Drive planning and execution
The team owns several interconnected technical areas, often developed across separate repositories and involving dependencies between engineers and projects.
Own planning and operational execution across multiple engineering workstreams.Create visibility into priorities, dependencies, timelines, and resource allocation.Help the team turn broad technical direction into an executable roadmap.Identify and remove blockers before they significantly impact delivery.Balance new development, customer commitments, operational work, and technical debt.Define meaningful engineering metrics and use them to identify opportunities for improvement.Keep stakeholders informed about progress, risks, and trade-offs.Plan release and update cycles of the product.Maintain the product, be responsible for defects triaging and mitigation.Stay close to technology
This is strictly not a purely people-management role. Technical background and experience is a must.We don't expect you to be a fluent Rust developer, we in fact are not expecting you to know Rust at all. But you should be comfortable participating in technical discussions, reviewing designs and architecture proposals, understanding engineering trade-offs, and challenging assumptions when needed. You should have a wide industry knowledge, and understand the pros and cons of different programming languages and platforms.Depending on your background and interests, you may also review code, contribute to tooling or prototypes, participate in incident investigation, or use automation and AI-assisted development to improve engineering workflows.At the same time, we do not expect the Engineering Manager to make every technical decision. Senior engineers (your team will contain a mix of engineers up to Staff and Architect levels) own significant parts of the technical direction, and a key part of the role is enabling them to do that effectively.
