Our House Engineering Manager will be an integral part of our Engineering Leadership team in EMEA. This role is based remotely in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Estonia or Israel.

The Opportunity
The House Engineering Manager is a hands‑on leadership role centered on enablement and delivery. Your primary responsibility is to ensure the House consistently delivers on its commitments by unblocking engineers, maintaining focus, and creating an environment where the team can perform at its highest potential. This is a technical role: you are expected to review engineering work, provide clear technical direction, and contribute to the codebase when needed. The balance between technical contribution and leadership depends on the team’s context, but your overarching mandate is to enable the team and own the execution and delivery of the House by having an in‑depth understanding and to be able to in‑practice be hands‑on on the team domain.
