Engineering Manager

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

📋 Description

• Facilitate the cadences, including planning sessions, standups, and retrospectives. Keep them light, functional, and engaging.

• Monitor all aspects. Stay informed about the status of every ongoing project and identify risks before they escalate into major issues.

• Take ownership of delivery metrics. Focus on cycle time, review latency, and reliability, utilizing these metrics constructively rather than punitively.

• Manage incidents effectively. Be the primary escalation point when issues arise, coordinate the response, and conduct a blameless root cause analysis that leads to meaningful improvements.

• Foster team growth through one-on-one meetings, coaching, and maintaining a rigorous hiring pipeline (including job descriptions, scorecards, and screening processes).

• You are responsible for outcomes. Prioritize delivery over code volume, ensuring timely and high-quality shipments.

⛳️ Requirements

• You have successfully implemented delivery enhancements, with measurable before-and-after results.

• Possess sufficient technical knowledge to gain respect from engineers. They trust your judgment because you comprehend the work involved.

• Approach data with empathy. Use metrics to assist individuals rather than to rank them.

• Maintain composure during incidents. You act as a coordinator rather than a panic-driven participant.

• Excellent writing skills. Your decision-making is clearly articulated in written form, eliminating the need for additional meetings.

• Self-motivated. You proactively identify and address any potential delays.

• Proficient in English, both written and spoken.

• Provide a written example showcasing how you managed a delivery process or alleviated a team’s challenges: such as a real retrospective, an incident root cause analysis, or a designed and deployed process.

• Experience managing a small, high-performing engineering team.

• Background in incident command.

• Proven track record of high-quality hiring practices.

🏝️ Benefits

• Fully remote work. Enjoy the flexibility to work from anywhere.

• Equity participation. Gain ownership in what you are building.

• Profit-sharing opportunities. Share in the success when we thrive.

• Learn directly from the founder. Gain insights into the growth of a genuine SaaS business.

• Annual team retreats (the last one was in Spain).
