Engineering Manager

We’re hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager who combines the craft of a Senior Software Engineer with a passion for developing

people. You’ll build alongside your team, drive technical progress, and help the engineers you support grow in their roles, while

continuing to grow yourself.

You'll be a contributor who pushes the work forward, keeps the focus on the plan, and lifts the team higher. We run many products

on a shared platform, built on Node.js (TypeScript) with serverless-first principles on AWS. Much of what the products need is the

same, and Seniors build that once, as shared capabilities that feel intended rather than patches on top of patches.

This is a new role for us. Until now, every engineer has reported to the CTO, and we outgrew it some time ago. We believe in a

model with select Senior engineers who each support five to six colleagues in other teams, on top of their own engineering work.

Managers who still build, pull the organisation closer together, and get a bigger impact through the people they support.

The hat is about people. You're there for your engineers' growth, and to push our organisation higher. The salary process, hiring,

and everyday people management come with it. Roadmaps, approvals and technical direction stay in the teams, as they do today.

• Spot when a capability should be shared across products, build it into the platform, and know when a one-off is the better

call.

• Raise the bar for how we build with AI, in your team and among the engineers you support. Show what it makes possible, and

bring others with you.

• Support five to six engineers in other teams: goals, growth, mentorship and feedback. Make sure each of them knows where they

stand and where they're heading, and push when it's needed.

• You've designed, built, and run systems that other teams depend on, and you can explain the trade-offs you made and what you

learned from running them.

• You've helped engineers grow, as a mentor, lead, or manager, and can tell us who and how. You give honest feedback, including

the uncomfortable kind, and take it as openly as you give it.

• You build at the front edge of what AI makes possible. Your way of working has changed because of it; you can show where it

made you better, where it still falls short, and help others do the same.

You'll join an exciting and committed EdTech company in a strong growth phase. Work with motivated, skilled colleagues across

several countries and contribute to a good cause. We have an entrepreneurial mindset and a flat organisation with an open-minded

atmosphere.

At ILT, we believe that diverse perspectives make us better, both as a company and in the impact we create through education. As

an international EdTech organization, we actively foster an inclusive environment where people from different backgrounds,

experiences, and perspectives feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. We are committed to building teams that reflect

the diversity of the learners we serve, and we welcome applicants regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, disability,

sexual orientation, or background. What matters most to us is your potential, your mindset, and your ability to contribute to our

shared mission.
