Job Description

Engineering Manager leading a remote team at Siena, developing customer experience AI systems. Overseeing project execution, prioritizing workload, and enhancing developer experience in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the weekly cadence for Channels and Analytics.
  • Work with PMs and engineering leadership to surface and sequence priorities - including the ones nobody has written down yet.
  • Help organise backlogs and bring structure to teams operating in a fast-moving, low-process environment.
  • Unblock engineers proactively. Identify the constraint before it becomes an escalation.
  • Write and maintain technical debt plans with engineers, not for them.
  • Act as a second thinker on integration strategy and capacity planning.
  • Improve the things that slow good engineers down.
  • Run 1:1s that leave engineers with clearer thinking, not just status logged. Deliver hard feedback directly. Have it land, not bruise. Help develop senior engineers who want to grow - including coaching engineers who have ambitions toward management.
  • Act as a backup hiring partner: help run loops, hold the bar, partner with recruiting.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years managing engineers in a product-delivery capacity — you've owned outcomes, not just people
  • Based in a European timezone (UTC to UTC+3) — this role exists specifically to be close to engineers our Engineering Manager can't reach from their timezone
  • Startup or scale-up experience: you know what it feels like when there's no process and no safety net
  • Technical credibility - not the best engineer in the room, but credible enough that senior engineers route hard problems to you, not around you
  • Genuine AI/LLM fluency: you understand agentic systems, evals, and model reliability - not just that "AI is changing everything"
  • Experience with security, compliance, or SOC-adjacent work
  • Worked in a product company without a dedicated TPM or staff engineer as a crutch
  • Experience managing senior engineers who don't need managing in the traditional sense - they need a thought partner, not a process owner

Benefits:

  • Great salary plus the opportunity for equity or stock grants.
  • Learning budget. If you're growing, so are we.
  • Meaningful impact. Your work directly shapes our product and company.
  • The thrill of building something new. Join us at a stage where your contributions matter most.
