About this job
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. How you will work 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. What you will do Lead and develop a team of software engineers. Set clear expectations and coach performance through regular feedback. Improve planning, delivery flow and sustainable on call practices. Recruit thoughtfully and build an effective onboarding path. Partner with product leaders on scope, risk and team capacity. Maintain enough technical depth to challenge designs and remove blockers. What you will bring Previous line management or engineering lead responsibility. Strong software engineering foundation and production experience. Evidence of coaching senior and developing engineers. Ability to manage delivery without reducing work to activity metrics. Experience recruiting and shaping team capability. Clear, humane communication in English. Experience that would add value Management across more than one team. Organisational design during growth or change. Background in SaaS, platforms or regulated products. A background that can succeed here You may be an experienced manager or a technical lead who has already taken meaningful responsibility for people and delivery. We are looking for someone who can be direct about standards while creating the safety required for honest technical discussion. What makes the opportunity interesting 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. The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time. The recruitment conversation During the process, Nordic Investin will focus on concrete decisions you have made: the context you received, the alternatives you considered, the result you observed and what you would change today. You do not need every optional technology if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap. How to apply Apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile and a short note describing the most relevant system, product or transformation you have helped deliver. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into technology and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
