Engineering Manager
About The Position
On behalf of a partner company, Nordic Investin is looking for an Engineering Manager. You believe strong engineering management means better decisions, healthier teams and software that becomes easier to change. The partner is growing a product engineering group and needs a manager who can combine people leadership with credible technical direction. You will create clarity around ownership, hiring, delivery and development while partnering closely with product management. The environment will suit someone who enjoys building systems, testing assumptions in code and taking responsibility for production behaviour. Technical choices are expected to be explained in terms of maintainability, reliability and the people who use the product. You will work in short delivery cycles with direct access to product, domain and operational colleagues. The partner expects engineers to review designs, test assumptions early and follow important changes into production. Decisions should be recorded clearly enough that another engineer can understand the tradeoff months later. This is a leadership role with hands on responsibility for direction, decisions and the capability of others. You will create enough structure for teams to move independently, while stepping into detail when risk or ambiguity demands it. The partner wants visible ownership without unnecessary hierarchy. The role gives you influence over both the product and the environment in which engineers do their best work. The partner wants a manager who can build durable capability, not simply coordinate a backlog.
