Engineering Manager - Artificial Intelligence
Engineering Manager (Delivery & Execution Focus, AI-Native)
We are looking for an Engineering Manager who combines strong execution skills with a high sense of ownership. This is not a traditional people-manager role, it’s about driving outcomes, making pragmatic trade-offs, and ensuring delivery in a fast-paced environment.
What you’ll do
- Own engineering initiatives from concept to production and execute against a high-pressure roadmap
- Translate product direction into actionable plans and make clear decisions on priorities, scope, and trade-offs
- Ensure engineering quality, reliability, and pragmatic technical standards while balancing speed and technical debt
- Identify and remove blockers, streamline processes, and step in hands-on when needed
- Maintain high standards for team ownership, output, and accountability
- Work closely with Product as a delivery co-owner and contribute to senior-level strategy discussions
AI-Native approach
This role requires an Engineering Manager who is AI-native, not AI-curious. You should:
- Regularly use AI tools to increase personal and team leverage
- Apply AI to accelerate engineering execution and delivery speed
- Coach teams on responsible, effective AI usage
- Demonstrate sound judgment on where AI adds value and where it does not
The Environment
- Fully remote team
- Trade-offs and technical debt are part of day-to-day decisions
- Outcomes matter more than optics, and timely decisions often outweigh consensus
- Delivery pressure is real and sustained
A good fit if you:
- Have owned delivery for complex systems or products
- Have experience in fast-moving startup or scale-up environments
- Take accountability for outcomes and make decisions with incomplete information
- Remove blockers, accelerate delivery, and care about execution quality
- Use AI tools as a force multiplier for speed, quality, and impact
Not a fit if you:
- Prefer facilitation over decision-making
- Avoid performance conversations or hard trade-offs
- Rely heavily on process rather than execution
- View AI as optional or experimental
