ROLE OVERVIEW 🚀
As an Engineering Manager at Benifex, you will lead two software engineering teams of five engineers each, responsible for
critical parts of our platform. One team is based in Gothenburg, where you will have full people management responsibility, while
the other is a nearshore team in Poland where you will own delivery and performance. You will drive delivery, coach teams to
improve performance, and ensure smooth collaboration across this distributed setup. This is a senior leadership role with a strong
focus on people, delivery, and continuous improvement. Success in this role means proactively identifying opportunities, removing
bottlenecks, and enabling your teams to consistently perform at their best.
RESPONSIBILITIES 🤘
- Lead and develop two engineering teams, ensuring strong delivery performance, clear accountability, and continuous improvement
across teams.
Act as first escalation point for engineers, guiding work, estimations, removing blockers, and supporting day-to-day delivery.
Own delivery outcomes across teams, tracking progress, velocity, and ensuring commitments against roadmap and goals are met.
Partner closely with Product Managers and Tech Leads to align on roadmap, priorities, and execution.
Coach engineers and tech leads, providing feedback, supporting growth, and strengthening overall team capability.
- Drive agile ways of working, ensuring effective ceremonies, strong execution, and continuous improvement while balancing team
autonomy.
- Standardise and evolve engineering practices and processes (e.g. code quality, ways of working) together with other Engineering
Managers.
- Facilitate collaboration across distributed teams, including nearshore delivery responsibility, and reduce dependency on key
individuals through knowledge sharing.
Use OKRs, metrics, and delivery tracking to measure quality, performance, and progress.
Champion adoption of AI and modern tooling to improve engineering efficiency and effectiveness.
Recognise achievements and milestones to build engagement, morale, and a strong team culture.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? 🔎
- Proven experience as an Engineering Manager with strong leadership seniority and a track record of building and leading
high-performing engineering teams.
- Strong people leadership skills, including coaching, performance management, feedback, and the ability to build trust and
motivation in teams.
Experience leading engineering teams with a focus on delivery, continuous improvement, and measurable results.
- Strong technical understanding, ideally from a software engineering background, with ability to translate product requirements
into team plans, capacity, and execution.
- Solid understanding of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban), including sprint planning, estimation, task breakdown, and iterative
delivery.
- Ability to drive engineering quality, including high coding standards, maintainability, testing practices, and prevention of
technical debt.
- Collaborative and empathetic leadership style with strong communication skills and ability to work closely with engineers, tech
leads, product managers, and other stakeholders.
- Strong interest in modern engineering practices, including Generative AI (Prompt Engineering, Fine Tuning, RAG) and adoption of
AI/tools to improve efficiency.
- Passion for product and quality, with a focus on both why we build (user value) and how we build (engineering standards and
excellence).
