Job Description
Senior Engineering Manager leading Shipping Services teams within InPost's Supply Chain Management domain. Driving technical consistency and management of Engineering Managers for e-commerce innovations.
Responsibilities:
- Manage delivery across multiple engineering teams or an entire domain, defining delivery standards and ensuring consistency, quality, and velocity across teams.
- Report to C-level stakeholders on progress, risks, and business impact, translating engineering outcomes into business language and strategic recommendations.
- Own domain-level SDLC governance: align standards across teams while enabling each team to own its practices, eliminate systemic organizational blockers, and define domain-level OKRs, KPIs, and SLAs.
- Define architecture and technical standards for the domain (or the wider tech organization), collaborating closely with Staff Software Engineers on key architectural decisions.
- Own platform and infrastructure strategy for the domain, driving technical consistency across teams and reduction of technical debt.
- Define the domain's AI adoption strategy, represent the domain in the AI Steering Committee/AI Hub, measure AI ROI, and help shape the organization's AI Playbook.
- Coach and develop Engineering Managers, build a talent pipeline across all levels (including Staff Engineers and future EMs), and design career paths and development programs.
- Build a high-performance, inclusive engineering culture, escalating difficult personnel situations appropriately to HR and senior leadership.
- Shape recruitment and process standards, actively attract talent through employer branding and professional networks, and manage the domain's organizational structure (team sizing, roles, dependencies).
- Communicate strategy and progress to C-level, manage cross-domain dependencies, and build relationships with key business stakeholders; represent InPost Tech externally (conferences, partnerships).
- Build a feedback and learning culture through systematic mechanisms (360°, pulse surveys, retrospectives) and translate feedback into domain-level action plans.
- Sponsor and lead cross-team/cross-domain initiatives (architectural reviews, workshops), and actively participate in — or lead — communities of practice.
- Shape innovation direction for the domain, manage a portfolio of innovation initiatives (AI, new platforms, experimentation), and contribute to Group-level technology strategy.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of overall experience in Software Development / Engineering Leadership.
- Proven experience managing managers (manager-of-managers model) - must have led at least 2 or more teams through other Engineering Managers, not just individual contributors.
- Hands-on background as a software engineer earlier in your career (even if it was several years ago).
- Proven experience managing Engineering Managers, with a deep understanding of domain-level delivery, SDLC standards, and technical architecture principles.
- Hands-on technical background in Java and Spring Boot is required, along with solid exposure to backend databases.
- Experience with cloud platforms - Google Cloud strongly preferred; AWS or Azure exposure is also valued.
- Strong knowledge of enterprise architecture patterns (microservices, event-driven, API-first).
- Experience with OKR/KPI frameworks and domain-level metrics.
- Demonstrated impact of AI adoption on engineering velocity and product quality.
- Proficiency in Agile, SAFe, or equivalent scaled delivery frameworks.
Benefits:
- Opportunity to work in a diverse, international, and cross-functional environment, along with leading experts.
- You work and learn from a senior leader and their leadership team, expanding your experience and exposure in the e-commerce and logistics industries.
- InPost is a growing company that offers its people an increasing number of opportunities in several locations in Europe.
- Fulfilling careers with a range of benefits for people and investing in providing training opportunities for their development.
- You will feel a part of the InPost community that makes an impact on sustainability, convenient deliveries, and the circular economy every day.
- Excellent working environment and flexible hours.
- We offer B2B type of contract.
