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.
