Engineering Manager

Hi, nice you are here! 😊 Embrace change with Efigence! We are a technology company established in 1995, where people are a priority. A team of over 150 technology enthusiasts allowed us to implement hundreds of projects in the banking, insurance, e-commerce and other sectors. Many of them have gained recognition by winning awards in prestigious competitions.

As an Engineering Manager, you will shape and grow high-performing engineering teams that build impactful, high-quality digital products. You will oversee both JavaScript-based frontend and Java-based backend solutions, ensuring technical excellence, sound architectural decisions, and continuous improvement. In this role, you will combine hands-on technical leadership with people development, acting as a trusted technical authority for delivery teams, supporting presales initiatives, and advising both internal stakeholders and clients on scalable, future-ready solutions.

What you will do:

Technical Delivery & Engineering Excellence

🔹Own technical quality, architecture, code standards, and engineering best practices across frontend (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Angular, Vue.js) and backend (Java, Spring Boot, microservices) stacks

🔹Manage and optimize the full SDLC: development workflows, testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, QA processes, and security practices

🔹Make and validate architectural decisions, ensuring scalability, performance, and maintainability of solutions

🔹Ensure system stability, oversee incident management, and drive SRE practices

🔹Perform architectural and code reviews, jumping into projects when needed to diagnose issues and propose recovery plans

Team Leadership & People Management

🔹Lead and manage engineering teams, including Tech Leads, setting technical direction and delivery standards

🔹Drive people management activities: regular 121s, performance reviews, feedback, and career development planning

🔹Coach and mentor Tech Leads and engineers, fostering technical growth and leadership capabilities

🔹Participate in recruitment processes and team building initiatives

🔹Foster team wellbeing, motivation, and a collaborative engineering culture

Presales & Technical Advisory

🔹Partner with Delivery Managers during proposal phase: providing architecture options, technical feasibility assessments, risk analysis, and reliable estimations

🔹Propose technology solutions, integration patterns, and technical recommendations for new projects

🔹Act as a technical advisor for clients, translating complex technical decisions into business language

🔹Provide technical clarity in unfamiliar domains or new solution areas

Delivery Collaboration & Engineering Health

🔹Collaborate closely with Delivery Managers in a dual leadership model

🔹Manage capacity planning, team allocation, and technical resource planning

🔹Monitor engineering health metrics: velocity, cycle time, bug rate, test coverage, code quality, and team morale

🔹Drive continuous improvement initiatives across teams
