Engineering Manager

Build the team that builds Relesys. We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead and develop one of our engineering teams.

You’ll be accountable for the team’s growth, performance and delivery, creating the conditions for engineers to do their best work and deliver meaningful customer and business outcomes sustainably. You’ll also help the team adopt AI effectively in software development and explore opportunities for AI-powered product innovation.

You turn strategy into a small set of clear priorities, make the trade-offs behind them visible, and create the planning and release rhythm that lets your area ship reliably. You stay accountable for architecture decisions, production health, security posture and technical debt - even when senior engineers are leading the actual design work - and you make sure delivery is backed by solid fundamentals: testing, observability, feature flags, and real incident learning.

This is an exciting and transformative time to join Relesys, as we have gone into a strategic partnership with the Private Equity fund, Copilot Capital, where the coming years will bring extensive growth and opportunities along the way. You get a unique opportunity to make a tremendous impact in taking your career, Relesys and our dear clients to the next level over the coming years - as we say, joining a scale-up at this stage is a rare opportunity that is “once in a lifetime”.

Your key responsibilities

- Lead and develop your people: Hold regular one-on-ones, provide timely and actionable feedback, and coach engineers through technical, professional and interpersonal challenges.
- Own career development and performance: Set clear expectations and individual development goals, conduct performance reviews, support progression and promotion decisions, and address underperformance early and constructively.
- Build a healthy, effective team: Foster trust, inclusion and accountability, resolve conflict, and actively support engagement, wellbeing and sustainable workloads.
- Hire and onboard engineers: Partner with People & Talent on hiring, plan team capabilities and capacity, and help new colleagues become effective contributors.
- Turn strategy into a small set of clear, prioritized outcomes for your area, and make the trade-offs behind them visible
- Create planning and release rhythms that make delivery more predictable, without relying on heavy process or overtime
- Own architecture trade-offs, production health, security posture and technical-debt decisions for your area - even when senior engineers lead the actual design
- Make sure delivery is backed by solid engineering fundamentals: testing, observability, feature flags, and real incident learning
- Use delivery, operational and customer evidence to continuously adjust plans and priorities
- Drive AI-assisted engineering: Help the team evaluate and adopt AI tools across development, testing, code review and documentation. Build practical skills, establish appropriate quality and data-handling practices, and assess their impact on delivery and maintainability.
- Enable AI product innovation: Partner with Product, Design and engineers to identify valuable AI use cases, run focused experiments, and take promising solutions into production with clear evaluation criteria for customer value, reliability, privacy and cost.
