Remote in EU | Long-term B2B Contract Role Overview We
are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead and
develop engineers working on modern, cloud-based software products.
This is a people-first engineering leadership role for someone who
has built their career in software engineering and has since
developed substantial experience managing engineers. You will not
carry an individual contributor delivery load, but you should have
enough technical depth to understand the systems your teams build,
challenge assumptions, assess engineering quality and contribute
meaningfully to technical discussions. Your focus will be on
building strong engineering teams: developing people, raising
performance, improving team effectiveness, hiring well and creating
an environment in which engineers can do their best work. The
environment is international, distributed and technically
demanding, combining cloud-native engineering, AI-enabled products,
CI/CD and production systems operating at scale. Key
Responsibilities: Line-manage software engineers through regular
1:1s, feedback,



career development and structured growth plans. Own
performance management across your team, including objectives,
formal reviews, promotion cases and difficult performance
conversations when required. Lead hiring for your area, from
defining capability needs through interviewing and final hiring
decisions. Support new engineers through structured onboarding and
probation, identifying gaps and acting on them early. Develop
engineers toward senior individual contributor and technical
leadership career paths. Use engineering and delivery signals such
as throughput, cycle time, DORA metrics and incident trends to
identify people, capability and staffing issues. Work closely with
technical leaders and other engineering functions to ensure teams
have the right skills, capacity and support to deliver effectively.
Maintain enough technical proximity to challenge estimates,
understand technical risk and
