Engineering Manager

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Australia.

📋 Description

• Lead one or more cross-functional squads within the SAP domain, taking ownership of delivery outcomes, team well-being, and engineering quality within a more complex or ambiguous problem landscape.

• Collaborate with Product Management partners to sustain a healthy backlog, align on priorities, and sequence delivery in a manner that is both sustainable and impactful.

• Oversee the performance and development of direct reports by establishing clear expectations, conducting structured 1:1 meetings, providing timely feedback, and creating individual growth plans that align with career aspirations.

• Manage a diverse group of stakeholders, including escalating and resolving delivery risks, navigating competing demands across teams, and ensuring alignment across functions.

• Promote engineering excellence within squads by advocating for modern practices such as TDD, CI/CD, trunk-based development, and effective software design patterns.

• Contribute to cross-team technical decisions in partnership with Principal/Staff Engineers and the Senior Engineering Manager, particularly in relation to non-functional requirements, architecture, and tooling.

• Identify and address bottlenecks across skills, processes, and tooling, driving enhancements at both the squad and domain levels.

• Acquire a working knowledge of the SAP platform sufficient to inform delivery decisions, evaluate technical complexity, and participate in hiring, onboarding, and capability development for the SAP engineering function.

• Monitor delivery metrics, ensure transparency regarding progress and risks, and foster continuous improvement in squad operations.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proven experience in a technical leadership position with direct responsibility for people management, including performance and development discussions.

• Familiarity with, or demonstrated capability to quickly develop fluency in, enterprise platforms such as SAP; prior SAP experience is beneficial but not mandatory for the right candidate.

• Demonstrated ability to navigate a complex or multi-squad delivery environment, managing competing priorities and cross-team dependencies.

• Experience in developing engineers and/or team leads through structured feedback, coaching, and career discussions.

• Ability to manage and influence a wide stakeholder group beyond the immediate squad, with clear and proactive communication regarding delivery risks.

• Strong understanding of modern engineering practices: CI/CD, testing frameworks, software design patterns, and DevOps tools.

• Comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy in ambiguous or undefined problem areas.

• Excellent communication skills - able to effectively translate between technical and non-technical audiences swiftly.
