Delivery
Engineering Manager
Ten to fifteen engineers across two or three client engagements. Still writes code, still on the first call.
- Location
- Lahore
- Contract
- Permanent, full time
- Level
- Senior
- Compensation
- Competitive, reviewed against market twice a year
About the role
We do not have a management track that leads away from engineering. This role is roughly seventy percent people and delivery and thirty percent hands on the codebase, and the thirty percent is not ceremonial. You will be accountable for whether your engagements ship what was scoped, and for whether the people on them are getting better.
What you will do
- Own delivery for two or three concurrent client engagements.
- Run one-to-ones that are about growth rather than status, and write the honest performance conversation down.
- Hold the technical standard: review, architecture input, and the decision to stop and fix something.
- Hire. You will be in the interviews for your own team.
- Escalate early. A project in trouble reaching a founder late is a management failure.
What we need from you
- You have managed engineers and can describe someone you helped get significantly better.
- Recent hands-on experience. You can still read a pull request properly.
- Comfort with client contact, including the difficult conversations.
- A view on estimating that survives contact with a fixed price.
Useful but not required
- Agency or consultancy experience, where the client is not internal.
- You have turned a struggling project around and can say what you actually changed.
