Engineering Manager

Job description

## Your mission As Engineering Manager at Cosuno, you will lead a team of full stack engineers while staying deeply hands-on: you'll spend 60–80% of your time coding, reviewing, and shaping the architecture alongside your team. You are the kind of leader who elevates a team by example — writing code that sets the bar, and building an environment where great engineers do their best work. Your mission might include: - Leading a team of full stack and AI/ML engineers: coaching, regular 1:1s, growth plans, and hiring — while shipping product yourself every week. - Owning the delivery and technical quality of your team's roadmap, working closely with your Product Manager to plan, de-risk, and execute. - Contributing hands-on across our TypeScript stack (React + Node), from designing features to reviewing pull requests and tackling the hard problems yourself. - Raising the team's technical bar through code reviews, architectural guidance, and best practices — including driving the adoption of AI-assisted engineering workflows. - Partnering with engineering leadership on team topology, processes, and the technical direction of our platform. ## How We Build: Our Engineering Culture We believe in a calm, collaborative, and productive engineering environment. We trust our engineers and give them the autonomy to do their best work. Our approach includes: - Agile & Fast-Paced: We practice trunk-based development with daily releases to get value into our users' hands quickly. - Quality by Default: We maintain a comprehensive Cypress E2E test suite and enforce strict typing, linting, and formatting rules to keep our codebase clean and maintainable. - DevOps Mindset: Our well-oiled CI/CD pipeline deploys to AWS via Kubernetes, with our entire infrastructure managed as code using Terraform. - Collaboration & Transparency: We value open discussion, constructive code reviews, and a culture where the best idea wins, regardless of who it comes from. ## Your profile We're looking for a player-coach: a strong engineer who leads people without giving up the keyboard. You'll be a great fit if you have: - Extensive experience (typically 7+ years) in software engineering, with a proven track record of delivering complex, scalable web applications. - Strong expertise in our core technologies (TypeScript, Node.js, React) and the ability to reason about the entire stack, from the database to the browser — and you still use it daily. - Leadership experience — whether as an Engineering Manager or team lead with direct reports, or as a senior tech lead who has mentored engineers, led projects, and shaped how a team works. - A genuine desire to keep coding: this role is 60–80% hands-on by design, and that's what excites you about it. - A passion for growing people. You find joy in helping other engineers develop, in giving honest feedback, and in building a healthy, high-performing team. - Bonus, not required: a good understanding of building LLM-based applications or ML algorithms — your team includes AI/ML engineers, and being able to follow their work helps, though you won't need to be the expert. - Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. ## Why us - Competitive Compensation: A competitive salary above the market average. - Work-Life Balance: Choose to work 100% remotely or from our modern office in Berlin. We offer flexible working hours to fit your life. - Top-Notch Equipment: A new MacBook Pro to ensure you have the best tools for the job. - A Great Team: Regular company off-sites and team events that connect us as people, not just colleagues. - Job Security: A permanent contract in a stable, well-funded company. ## About us Cosuno – Revolutionizing construction through technology.
