Engineering Manager – Feature Engineering
Location: Remote, Europe — you must be based within one hour of Irish time (GMT/IST). We can employ in the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Poland.
Salary: €75,000 – €85,000
Engagement: Employed via an Employer of Record. B2B and freelance contracting are not available for this role.
About the company
Our client is a construction tech business building software that connects project planning with day-to-day execution on site, giving planners, operators and leadership a single source of truth across complex projects.
The product is used by large, enterprise-grade contractors delivering complex construction, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and infrastructure projects. The business is scaling into new markets, and the bar for engineering quality is scaling with it.
The role
A hands-on leadership role. You'll split your time between coding, driving technical direction, and growing your team. You'll report to the Head of Engineering and partner closely with the Platform & DevOps EM, Product, Design and QA to plan, build and ship product features.
You'll own end-to-end feature delivery across backend, frontend and mobile — setting engineering standards, making pragmatic architecture decisions, and making sure your team ships reliable, well-tested software at a sustainable pace.
Scope
- Reports to: Head of Engineering
- Scope: Feature Engineering team — you'll help shape, grow and lead it
- Direct reports: 3–5 engineers (backend, frontend, mobile) as the team scales
Key responsibilities
Feature delivery and technical leadership
- Own end-to-end delivery of product features across backend APIs (.NET Core / C#) and frontend (Angular), from design through to production
- Set and enforce engineering standards across the team: code quality, test coverage, API design, branching and review practices, release readiness
- Drive architecture decisions at feature scope — data modelling, service boundaries, API contracts, caching strategies
- Debug across the full stack, lead incident resolution, and run blameless post-mortems that produce lasting fixes
- Ensure features are built for performance, scalability and reliability, meeting the NFR standards defined by the Platform team
Quality, testing and non-functional requirements
- Champion a test-first culture — unit, integration and E2E coverage as part of the definition of done, not an afterthought
- Partner with the Platform EM to uphold platform-defined NFR standards across performance, observability, security and compliance
- Embed security-by-design into feature development: input validation, auth enforcement, dependency hygiene, sensitive data handling
People leadership and delivery
- Build the team: lead hiring end-to-end, run structured interviews, make sound hiring decisions, onboard engineers effectively in a startup environment
- Run regular 1:1s, give timely and honest feedback, support career growth across all seniority levels
- Manage performance actively — recognise strong contributors, address issues early, build a high-trust, high-accountability culture
- Own delivery against roadmap commitments: sprint planning, estimation, risk management, and clear communication of progress and blockers
Cross-functional partnership
- Partner with Product and Design to refine requirements, push back on scope where appropriate, and translate priorities into well-defined engineering work
- Collaborate with the Platform EM to consume platform services effectively and surface feature team needs that should become platform capabilities
- Contribute to engineering-wide decisions on process, tooling, coding practices and culture alongside peer Engineering Managers
- Represent the engineering perspective in cross-functional planning, giving realistic estimates and flagging delivery risk early
What we're looking for
Required
- 7–10 years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time building and shipping product features across the full stack
- Strong hands-on experience with .NET Core (C#) and Angular — you can review, write and reason about code in both
- Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL or SQL Server) and NoSQL stores (MongoDB or similar), including data modelling for scale
- Prior experience leading or managing a team of engineers, including hiring, performance management and career development
- Proven track record of delivering product features reliably, with strong ownership of quality, testing and release readiness
- Security-aware engineering mindset — input validation, auth and dependency hygiene treated as fundamentals
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving clarity in a startup or scale-up where processes are still being built
Nice to have
- Experience in construction tech, proptech, or other asset-heavy or field-operations verticals
- Mobile development experience on iOS and/or Android
- Exposure to cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and CI/CD tooling at feature team level
- Experience in organisations with a dedicated platform or infrastructure function
How to apply
Send your CV through the link below. We aim to respond to all applicants within five working days.
The country list is my best guess at a workable set — confirm it against the client's actual EOR coverage before it goes live, since shortlisting someone in a country the provider isn't registered in is the expensive version of this mistake.
