Engineering Manager

Requirements:

  • Strong project management skills: experience building roadmaps, sequencing work, managing dependencies and risk, and driving delivery predictability in a fast-moving environment.
  • A technical background sufficient to earn the respect of the engineers you manage and to engage credibly in technical discussions.
  • Demonstrated experience leading, growing, and managing the performance of software engineers.
  • A track record of delivering software through a team, balancing scope, quality, and timelines.
  • Strong people-leadership skills: coaching, feedback, conflict resolution, and building an environment in which engineers thrive.
  • Sound judgment in hiring and developing talent.
  • Excellent communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including experience managing cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. Trading, Quant).
  • Based in Amsterdam, or willing to relocate.

What you'll be doing:

  • Own the roadmap: manage priorities, planning, and sequencing of the work in line with company goals.
  • Develop your engineers: own career planning, promotions, coaching, and structured, continuous performance management.
  • Plan and build the team: lead hiring, headcount planning, and resource allocation in line with the team's roadmap and the firm's priorities.
  • Cultivate a healthy team: actively manage culture, morale, and productivity, and address conflict early and constructively.
  • Lead with rhythm: hold regular one-on-ones, give clear and timely feedback, and invest in team building.
  • Translate technical and business requirements into clear delivery plans, identifying dependencies with other teams and risks up front.
  • Act as the liaison between Engineering, Trading, and Quant teams to design and roll out new products.
  • Drive delivery predictability: track progress against plan, manage risk and scope trade-offs, and report status clearly to stakeholders.
  • Continuously improve delivery processes and team velocity.
  • Ensure alignment: keep your team's work connected to organisational goals and delivery timelines, collaborating closely with Tech Leads and Staff Engineers on technical direction.
