Engineering Manager (Remote - EMEA)

This is a people and process leadership role at an AI-powered advertising technology SaaS company that uses generative AI to help create ads. You will manage engineers across several product teams, shaping how they hire, grow, plan and deliver work. The role is hands-on with people and ways of working rather than writing or designing code yourself. You will be accountable for the customer and business value your teams deliver.

What you'll do

• Lead, coach and develop a large group of engineers and team leads across multiple teams, including regular 1:1s, feedback, performance reviews and career development
• Work with the other engineering managers to keep planning, delivery cadence, incident and release management, and retrospectives aligned, and help make them lighter and more effective
• Partner with the technical program manager and Product, Design and Data to set clear priorities and keep delivery predictable
• Take part in engineering interview loops and set new joiners up with 30/60/90-day plans
• Build a healthy, inclusive team culture, and address conflict, burnout and performance issues early and fairly
• Stay close to design reviews, incident reviews and roadmap discussions so you understand architecture and technical risks well enough to back your leads' decisions

What you need

• Several years managing engineers, ideally including managing multiple teams or other managers, preferably in a SaaS or fast-growing product company
• A track record of improving team process and delivery with measurable results, and of building a culture where teams learn from failure
• Strong people management skills: coaching, candid feedback, performance management and growing talent
• Experience supporting hiring and retaining high-performing engineers, and building diverse teams
• Enough technical fluency to follow architecture and trade-off discussions and spot technical risk, without needing to code day to day
• Hands-on experience introducing AI tools into a team's way of working, with a clear view of where human judgement remains essential
• Must be based in and able to work from an EMEA country, from your home country

Applicants must be based in: United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Uae.
