We are looking for a dedicated Engineering Manager to join our team in Armenia!

About the role:

We are looking for an Engineering Manager who combines strong technical leadership with people and delivery ownership. This role is not just a senior developer. As an Engineering Manager you will be responsible for technical direction, team execution, and engineering quality, while ensuring alignment with Product and business goals. You will balance hands-on development with technical leadership, design decisions, reviews, mentoring, planning, and ownership.

What You'll Get to Do:

Technical Leadership

• Own the technical architecture and design of your domain/team
• Review system designs, APIs, data models, and non-functional requirements
• Ensure code quality through code reviews, standards, and best practices
• Make technical trade-off decisions (speed vs quality, short-term vs long-term)
• Act as the first technical escalation point before issues go to the Architect /CTO
• Ensure production readiness: observability, logging, error handling, scalability.

Delivery & Execution

• Own delivery commitments of the team (scope, quality, timelines)
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks with clear estimations
• Actively participate in planning, grooming, and retrospectives
• Identify risks early and communicate them clearly
• Ensure technical debt is tracked and addressed intentionally.

People Management & Mentorship

• Mentor developers (junior → mid → senior growth)
• Set clear technical expectations and hold the team accountable
• Support hiring, onboarding, and performance feedback
• Be an example in discipline, communication, ownership, and engineering ethics
• Create a psychologically safe environment for discussion and disagreement.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Product Managers to clarify requirements and constraints
• Translate business goals into technical strategy
• Communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders
• Align team priorities with company-level objectives.

What We're Looking For:

Technical:

• Strong experience as a Senior Software Engineer
• Hands-on experience with PHP and MySQL in production environments
• Proven experience working with legacy codebases, including understanding and stabilizing existing systems, refactoring and improving code quality incrementally, reducing technical debt without breaking production
• Proven ability to design and own medium to large systems
• Solid understanding of backend systems & APIs, databases and data modelling, performance, scalability, and reliability
• Experience with code reviews and architectural decision-making.

Leadership:

• Experience leading engineers (formally or informally)
• Strong communication and decision-making skills
• Ability to give clear, direct, constructive feedback
• Comfortable saying "no" when needed and defending decisions with facts.

Success Looks Like:

• Team delivers predictably with fewer surprises
• Engineers grow in skill and ownership
• Legacy systems become more stable and maintainable over time
• Codebase improves continuously instead of degrading
• CTO and Architect is not pulled into daily execution issues

Here's What We Offer:

• Start with 24 days of annual leave, with 2 additional days added each year, up to 34 days by your fifth year with us
• Hybrid work schedule is available after the first three months of employment, with up to 50 days of work from home per year
• Benefit from two Free Fridays each year, limited to one per quarter
• Access online learning platforms like Udemy for Business and LinkedIn Learning, and a budget for external training
• Daily catered lunch or monthly lunch allowance
• Private Medical Subscription
• Gym allowance
• Team-building activities in various locations.
