Engineering Manager

Permanent contract

Paris, Rennes

Fully-remote

Salary: Not specified

Experience: > 10 years

We're looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a Chapter of approximately 15 Engineers. In our scale-up environment, we use a matrix structure: while your engineers work daily within cross-functional Squads to ship features, they report to you for their long-term growth, technical alignment, and career health. Your mission is to ensure we scale our human engine without losing the technical excellence that got us here.

Your missions:

• People Leadership & Coaching: Nurture Talent. Conduct high-impact 1:1s. Define clear growth trajectories and competency matrices to help your engineers level up, from Junior to Staff roles. Own the review cycle for your chapter.

• Technical Stewardship: Lead your chapter in setting and maintaining the Definition of Done (DoD), coding standards, and architectural best practices. Break down silos between squads. Ensure that a win or a lesson learned in one squad is shared and adopted by the entire chapter. Partner with Tech Leads to identify and prioritize tech debt.

• Scaling the Organization: Own the hiring pipeline for your discipline. You'll source, interview, and sell our vision to top-tier talent to keep pace with our scaling goals. Design and oversee the onboarding of new hires, ensuring they feel at home and productive as quickly as possible. Collaborate with other EMs and Product Leads to optimize squad compositions and resource allocation as business priorities shift.

Preferred experience:

• You have 5 years professional experience and a previous experience in management.

• You have a People-First Mindset. You find more satisfaction in a team member's promotion than in merging your own PR.

• You have experience working in a fast paced environment.

• Scale-Up Experience: You know how to build processes that empower rather than stifle.

• While you won't be coding daily, you have technical expertise in your field (Backend, Frontend, SRE, product) to coach senior engineers.

• You excel at influence without direct authority

Bonus points:

• You have experience in cybersecurity
