Job Specifications

Engineering Manager (Delivery & Execution Focus, AI-Native)

We are looking for an Engineering Manager who combines strong execution skills with a high sense of ownership. This is not a traditional people-manager role, it’s about driving outcomes, making pragmatic trade-offs, and ensuring delivery in a fast-paced environment.

What you’ll do

Own engineering initiatives from concept to production and execute against a high-pressure roadmap
Translate product direction into actionable plans and make clear decisions on priorities, scope, and trade-offs
Ensure engineering quality, reliability, and pragmatic technical standards while balancing speed and technical debt
Identify and remove blockers, streamline processes, and step in hands-on when needed
Maintain high standards for team ownership, output, and accountability
Work closely with Product as a delivery co-owner and contribute to senior-level strategy discussions

AI-Native approach

This role requires an Engineering Manager who is AI-native, not AI-curious. You should:

Regularly use AI tools to increase personal and team leverage
Apply AI to accelerate engineering execution and delivery speed
Coach teams on responsible, effective AI usage
Demonstrate sound judgment on where AI adds value and where it does not

The Environment

Fully remote team
Trade-offs and technical debt are part of day-to-day decisions
Outcomes matter more than optics, and timely decisions often outweigh consensus
Delivery pressure is real and sustained

A good fit if you:

Have owned delivery for complex systems or products
Have experience in fast-moving startup or scale-up environments
Take accountability for outcomes and make decisions with incomplete information
Remove blockers, accelerate delivery, and care about execution quality
Use AI tools as a force multiplier for speed, quality, and impact

Not a fit if you:

Prefer facilitation over decision-making
Avoid performance conversations or hard trade-offs
Rely heavily on process rather than execution
View AI as optional or experimental
