[Hiring] Engineering Manager @Storyblok

Role Description

We are looking for a motivated and supportive Engineering Team Manager to lead our Foundations & Enablement team — the group that keeps the rest of engineering fast, secure, and consistent. Your team's customers are other engineering teams:

• Own the standards, tooling, and shared systems (CI/CD, security practices, developer experience, core platform capabilities) that every other team builds on.
• Manage engineers across both frontend and backend disciplines.
• Serve requests from multiple product teams while driving your own technical roadmap for the platform.
• Partner closely with our Infrastructure team on shared platform concerns.

If you're an engineering leader who enjoys solving problems that make everyone else's job easier, we'd like to talk.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of relevant experience in advanced software development, including 2+ years of engineering leadership.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Comfortable operating across both frontend and backend engineering.
• Hands-on experience with scalability, reliability, observability, and security principles.
• Experience owning platform, DevOps, security, or developer-tooling work.
• Familiarity with software engineering fundamentals, best practices, and problem-solving.
• Familiarity with testing strategies and CI/CD pipelines.
• Working knowledge of incident response practices.
• Proven ability to lead teams in execution.
• Strong communication, organizational, and stakeholder management skills.
• Confident, detail-oriented, and highly motivated to contribute to the organization's growth.
• Demonstrates AI literacy, with the ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity.

Requirements

• Lead and support a cross-functional team of engineers with a focus on delivery, people development, and process improvement.
• Balance your team's own technical roadmap with prioritized requests from multiple product teams.
• Maintain and evolve engineering-wide standards that other teams rely on.
• Partner with the Infrastructure team on shared platform concerns.
• Mentor and guide team members in their professional development.
• Support engineers in making technical decisions.
• Establish delivery estimates, monitor progress, and help the team overcome obstacles.
• Own recruitment, hiring, and onboarding processes.
• Facilitate regular one-on-one meetings to set goals and evaluate performance.
• Foster documentation, knowledge sharing, and open communication.
• Cultivate empathy and openness towards team members from diverse backgrounds.
• Contribute to improving processes in a remote-first, globally distributed environment.

Benefits

• Monthly remote work stipend (home internet costs, electricity).
• Home office equipment package right at the start (laptop, keyboard, monitor…).
• Home office equipment upgrade or membership to a local co-working space after onboarding.
• Sick leave benefit, parental leave, and 25 days of annual leave plus local national holidays.
• Personal development fund for courses, books, conferences, and material.
• VSOP (Virtual Stock Option Plan).
• The annual international team-building trip, quarterly and monthly online get-togethers.
• Flexible schedules as a fully remote company with work-life balance at its core.
• An international team that loves to have fun at work and works hard together.
