Job Description
### **About Us**
[Coderio](https://himalayas.app/companies/coderio) designs and delivers scalable digital solutions for global companies. We combine strong technical expertise with a product mindset to lead complex software initiatives end-to-end. We work with international clients, value autonomy and clear communication, and build long-term partnerships through technical excellence.
🌍 **More information:**
### **The Role**
This is a **High-Stakes Leadership** role. We are looking for a **Senior Engineering Manager** who thrives at the intersection of technical architecture and aggressive client delivery. You will own the end-to-end execution of complex digital products, leading cross-functional teams while maintaining the technical depth to make, review, and override decisions — not just facilitate them.
This is **not** a coordination or "people-only" role. You are the ultimate person responsible for the technical health, the delivery timeline, and the client’s trust.
### **What to Expect in This Role (Responsibilities)**
### 1\. Engineering Governance & Technical Authority
* **Architectural Oversight:** Maintain enough hands-on depth to challenge technical proposals, audit architecture decisions, and jump into the codebase when critical blockers arise.
* **Standards Enforcement:** Define and strictly enforce engineering standards, code quality practices, and high-performance delivery cadences.
* **Modernization:** Drive the adoption of cloud-native, microservices, and API-first architectures without losing sight of implementation details.
* **Technical Trade-offs:** Make hard, pragmatic decisions between technical debt, velocity, and scalability, and defend those decisions before senior stakeholders.
### 2\. Operational & Delivery Excellence
* **SDLC Ownership:** Full accountability for the Software Development Life Cycle across multiple accounts: from rigorous planning to incident response and retrospection.
* **Resource & Budget Optimization:** Manage capacity, velocity, and budgets across parallel workstreams, ensuring maximum efficiency without sacrificing quality.
* **Risk Mitigation:** Proactively identify, surface, and neutralize technical or delivery risks; you are responsible for ensuring the client is **never** surprised by a delay or a technical failure.
* **Performance Leadership:** Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team (8–15 engineers), identifying underperformance early and fostering a culture of high-stakes delivery.
### 3\. Strategic Client Partnership
* **C-Level Interlocutor:** Act as the primary technical point of contact for CTOs and VPs of Engineering, earning trust through technical competence and honest communication.
* **Alignment:** Translate abstract business goals into concrete engineering priorities and vice versa.
* **Account Growth:** Identify technical opportunities within your accounts by understanding the client’s roadmap and proposing high-impact technical solutions.
### **Requirements**
* **Technical Foundation:****7+ years** in software engineering with a proven track record of building scalable systems.
* **Leadership Depth:****3+ years** as an Engineering Manager or Tech Lead Manager, managing distributed teams under high-pressure delivery cycles.
* **Stack Expertise:** Deep, hands-on experience with at least one core stack: **Java, Python, or Node.js** (you must be able to conduct deep-dive code reviews).
* **Architecture:** Solid experience in **Cloud-native, Microservices, and API design**.
* **Client Management:** Experience managing senior-level stakeholders (C-level/VP) in a consulting or digital transformation environment.
* **Communication:****Fluent English** (written and spoken) is mandatory for managing international client relationships.
### **Nice to Have**
* Direct delivery experience with **AWS and/or Azure**.
* Exposure to **Data platforms, AI/ML product delivery**, or advanced **DevSecOps** practices.
* Background in large-scale **Enterprise Digital Transformation** programs.
### **Benefits**
* ### 100% remote work.
* Long-term engagement with high impact and autonomy.
* Strategic and high-visibility role within a modern engineering culture.
* Opportunity to influence technical and business strategy.
* Collaborative international team with strong technical leadership.
* Clear growth path and leadership opportunities within [Coderio](https://himalayas.app/companies/coderio).
