Senior Engineering Manager

• Lead and coach Engineering Managers, help them grow their leadership and impact, and support them in their day-to-day management
• Ensure healthy team dynamics, engagement, and performance across squads (Paris, Bordeaux and remote in France)
• Drive talent development: career paths, feedback cycles, performance reviews, training plans, and succession planning
• Contribute to hiring strategy and senior recruitment, ensure strong onboarding and ramp-up for new joiners
• Be accountable of delivery, ensuring commitments are met in both velocity and quality
• Build the right conditions for teams to perform: anticipate risks, remove blockers, arbitrate when needed, and provide clarity in ambiguous situations
• Help teams accelerate while maintaining a sustainable pace
• Ensure reliability of execution across contexts (peaks, incidents, shifting priorities, new constraints)
• Define and continuously improve engineering practices: clean code, testing strategy, release management, incident learning loops, observability, and quality gates
• Implement or evolve processes that scale (planning, dependency management, cross-team alignment, ownership models), and measure outcomes
• Ensure technical decisions are made at the right level, and that the organization is aligned on engineering standards and trade-offs
• Maintain strong technical credibility and the ability to go deep on architecture and engineering choices (Java/Spring, SQL, cloud, microservices)
• Contribute through design reviews, architecture discussions, technical arbitration, and critical code reviews
• Be able to step in during complex situations (high-risk deliveries, incidents, performance issues) to support teams and managers
• Partner with Product leaders to shape roadmaps and execution plans, balancing customer value, technical constraints, and long-term sustainability
• Ensure product outcomes are tied to customer satisfaction and adoption, not just output
• Drive a strong “product-oriented engineering” mindset: impact, usability, quality, scalability, and time-to-value

• Significant experience as an engineering leader, including managing managers and leading multiple teams/squads
• Ability to combine high standards, empathy, and clear leadership, enabling teams to deliver reliably
• Comfortable switching contexts quickly and operating across multiple scopes and stakeholder groups (product, design, engineering, operations)
• Strong technical proficiency in Java ecosystems (Java, Spring, SQL, cloud, microservices) and can contribute at architecture level
• Product-oriented: enjoy collaborating with PM/Design to make the right trade-offs and deliver customer value
• Professional English proficiency (C1)
