We are looking for a **Engineering Manager** to join our Team!  
  
**What we offer**

28,000–32,000 PLN net/month on B2B.

Real influence on how a 30+ person engineering group works and grows.

Work with enterprise clients across retail, finance, healthcare and energy.

AI tools and budget to experiment with new ways of delivery.  
  

**About the role**

As an **Engineering Manager** at Netguru you lead a group of engineers and Tech Leads and you are the technical backbone of the deals and projects in your area. You are a people leader, a hands-on engineer when it matters, and a regular voice in presales. You make sure technology never blocks delivery or sales, and that our teams use AI-augmented delivery to ship faster without losing quality.  
  
**What you will do:**

**Engineering quality & crisis support**

-   Jump into projects in trouble, diagnose the issue and propose a recovery plan.
-   Do architecture and code reviews when needed; set review, CI/CD, security and testing standards.
-   Track engineering health: velocity, rework, lead time, bug rate, test coverage and morale.

**Capability building**

-   Build the competency roadmap for your domain (e.g. backend, frontend, mobile, DevOps, data/AI).
-   Run communities of practice and experiments with new tools and agentic workflows.
-   Take part in recruitment of engineers and Tech Leads.

**Presales & estimations**

-   Support opportunities and RFPs: discovery calls, solution options, estimates, risk assessments.
-   Review estimates from your Tech Leads and challenge assumptions, including how AI-assisted delivery changes effort.
-   Decide with sales which opportunities are worth pursuing and say no when the risk is too high.

**People & line management**

-   Be the line manager for 20–30+ engineers and Tech Leads: 1:1s, feedback, growth plans, promotions, salary reviews and offboarding.
-   Coach Tech Leads and grow the next generation of leaders in your domain.
-   Keep Delivery Managers in the loop on every change that affects their teams (raises, departures, rotations).

**Staffing & bench**

-   Own allocation of your people across projects together with Delivery and Talent teams.
-   Keep the bench low: a clear plan for every person between projects, and active matching to new opportunities.
-   Plan certifications and upskilling (e.g. cloud, AI tooling) ahead of demand.

## Requirements

-   10+ years in software engineering, including 2–3+ years leading people and Tech Leads.
-   A hands-on background as a full-stack developer: you have built and shipped production code in major tech stacks (e.g. TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Java/Kotlin, .NET, React, mobile) and you can still read, review and write code.
-   Line management experience: hiring, performance conversations, growth plans, hard conversations.
-   Depth in at least one of: complex enterprise systems (many integrated systems, cloud-native, end-to-end at corporate scale) or data/AI-heavy systems.
-   Experience in presales: estimates, proposals, technical answers to RFPs.
-   Ability to audit code, architecture, CI/CD and quality gates across frontend, backend, mobile, DevOps and cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP).
-   Daily use of AI-augmented engineering (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or similar) and a view on how it changes team setup and estimation.
-   Clear communication with clients, sales and delivery in a multi-stakeholder environment.
-   Fluent Polish and English (B2+).

**Nice to have:**

-   Background in software house, consulting or digital delivery.
-   Experience in regulated domains (finance, healthcare, energy, retail at scale).
-   Experience in building communities of practice or leading an engineering transformation.
