Engineering Manager - Experience Above the Box (all genders)

• Leadership & Team Empowerment: You have experience leading engineering teams—including specialists outside your own discipline—and excel at turning complex challenges into a clear vision. You seamlessly integrate external engineers and partners to build one unified team grounded in shared standards, collective ownership, and zero second-class contributors.
• Technical Acumen & Hands-on Depth: You bring a long-standing background as a software engineer with genuine full-stack breadth — you have depth in embedded, backend, or mobile development, and enough working knowledge of the others to reason about, review, and challenge decisions across the whole stack. While your focus is on leadership and design, you can still dive into the codebase to unblock critical bottlenecks.
• Architectural Vision: You advocate for modular, flexibly extendable, loosely coupled architectures with strong cohesion — so a feature can be built once and shipped across several hardware generations without being rewritten each time.
• Strategic Product Alignment: You act as the bridge between engineering and product strategy. You translate business goals into technical reality and collaborate seamlessly across departments to keep our roadmap both ambitious and achievable.
• The Toolbox: Solid experience with software platforms and their architecture. Linux is your home ground, and Git, GitLab, and CI/CD are part of your daily workflow. Experience working with ODMs or hardware suppliers is a strong plus.
• Clean Design & Simplicity: You champion lean structures and have a knack for solving complex problems with simple, elegant solutions — in code and in organisational processes alike.
• Work Style: Your approach is defined by agility, empathy, and creativity, especially when exploring new solutions or navigating change.
• Communication & Collaboration: You communicate confidently in professional English (German is a plus) and enjoy being with your team in the office regularly.
• Last but not least: You are enthusiastic about our product and want to join us on our exciting journey!
