We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager who wants to lead outstanding engineering teams towards successful, transparent and predictable delivery of bespoke software within the insurtech domain.

Who are we?

We are a remote-first boutique software house company formed by a group of seasoned software experts (the average experience in the team is 12 years).

We believe in people, and our engineers have a real and direct impact on what and how we build things. We put extra effort into ensuring everyone can make a difference and grow among other experts.

Values we stand for:

• Getting things done: we are laser-focused on achieving business outcomes in a predictable manner.
• Built on trust: we are laser-focused on achieving business outcomes in a predictable manner.
• Baking quality in: we take pride in our craftsmanship and guarantee quality results at every stage.

This offer is for you if:

• have a Kaizen mindset and believe continuous improvement is not a job but a habit
• present excellent stakeholder management skills and a track record of successful collaboration with senior managers, including status, roadmap and long-term strategy presentations
• understand the modern approach to software engineering (you should be familiar with concepts like continuous delivery, domain-driven design, event storming, event-driven architecture, but do not have to be an expert)
• value-based leadership is not a slogan for you, but a practical way of working

As a part of the team you will:

• lead the team towards successful project delivery by connecting the business and tech worlds

• manage projects, get the high-level forecasts right, build a solid plan and remove roadblocks on the way
• manage and nurture good relationships with key stakeholders and act as a strong partner that ensures business needs are met
• collaborate with client’s Delivery Managers on business priorities negotiation and high-level project planning
• identify, communicate and mitigate project risks, navigate ambiguity and set a clear vision
• create outstanding and meaningful delivery reports
• facilitate effective meetings and cultivate continuous improvement in the team
• capture meaningful team metrics that help the team maintain high throughput, optimise internal processes, and make data-driven decisions
• lead the team and help team members grow both professionally and personally
