ABOUT THE JOB

Our Engineering department has grown significantly over the past couple of years—and we're continuing to scale. To support this growth, we're looking for another experienced Engineering Manager to help our engineers thrive and contribute to building an engineering organization.

As our Engineering Manager, you'll play a key role in shaping how we work, lead one of our product teams of 5–10 engineers, and ensure they have the support and structure needed to do their best work.

DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES

Your main responsibility is to make sure the team is healthy and successful. You'll help team members improve their engineering, communication and organizational skills and guide them through career advancement expectations and possibilities.

With the Product Manager and Product Designer in your team, you will work on new features and product updates. While the Product Manager is responsible for the research and design phase, you're responsible for the development and release phase of those features. You'll organize team planning and other rituals like roadmap grooming, bug triage, retrospectives and similar.

It's expected that you can go low level and write PRDs, System Design documents, review and occasionally write code. Coding will not be your daily activity, but it's important that you can do it because it will help you understand the development process and our technical architecture much better. That's why you'll go through a complete technical onboarding in the first 6 months in the role.

You'll report to the VP of Engineering and participate in various engineering management initiatives that will improve our organizational process. For example, you could work on our Progression Framework, which constantly evolves as the company grows. Every 6 months, you'll conduct performance reviews and calibrate them with other EMs.

You'll evolve the company's employer branding strategy and optimize the existing hiring process to support our growth targets.

ABOUT YOULet's See If We're a Match

The ideal candidate is a Senior Software Engineer with proven team leadership experience and career progress focused on engineering management.

If you recognize yourself in some of the following characteristics, we will be happy to meet you:

  • Strong technical background with at least 7 years of software development experience
  • Accomplishments in delivering successful software products
  • Determination in improving organizational processes and optimizing communication in the engineering teams
  • Ability to lead, coach, and inspire strong software engineers
  • Excellent communication (both written and verbal) skills
  • Experience in performing hiring interviews or participating in the hiring process
  • Work experience in a SaaS product company is a plus

This is the sort of background we are generally looking for, but these criteria are not set in stone. We'll consider all applicants.

How To Land This Job

If you think we can meet your expectations and you're willing to share your experience and knowledge, apply using the form below.

Please send us your CV and Cover Letter (optional).

Our hiring process is simple and discrete. During two video calls, you'll have an opportunity to ask us anything about Productive. We'll try to get to know you and assess your skills. Final stage of the interview process will be held on-site, simulating some everyday EM operations. You'll get to experience our work environment and meet the team you'll work with.

If you have any questions, you can contact us by sending an email to

***Only applicants with knowledge of Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian language will be considered for this position.
