Engineering Manager Full-time

Our stack:

** Laravel (API-first architecture)
** Vue.js (modern SPA front-end)
** MariaDB
** DTAP environments
** Agile / LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum)

We operate across multiple countries with distributed teams and are entering a new phase of maturity: stronger engineering governance, predictable delivery, architectural discipline, and high accountability.

To support this transition, we are hiring a strong Engineering Manager in Tbilisi.

The Role:

This is not a senior developer role with extra meetings.
This is a people, delivery and accountability role.

You will be responsible for:

** Leading 1-3 cross-functional development teams
** Ensuring predictable sprint delivery
** Raising engineering standards
** Enforcing clarity in refinement & scope
** Creating transparency in capacity and planning
** Developing engineers into professionals

You report to the CTO and work closely with:

** Product Manager
** Systems Architect
** Scrum Master
** Other engineering leads

Your Responsibilities:

1. Delivery & Execution:

** Ensure sprint commitments are realistic and met
** Guard scope discipline
** Drive structured refinement practices
** Improve estimation accuracy
** Remove delivery bottlenecks
** Create visibility in workload & velocity

2. Engineering Governance:

** Enforce coding standards and review discipline
** Ensure architectural decisions are respected
** Maintain technical quality and security awareness
** Ensure proper documentation and handovers

3. People Management:

** 1-on-1s with engineers
** Performance reviews
** Development plans
** Hiring & onboarding
** Address underperformance decisively

4. Process & Agile Maturity:

** Strengthen Scrum / LeSS adoption
** Improve refinement quality
** Reduce waste in development cycles
** Increase ownership in teams
** Push teams from "execution mode" to "professional engineering culture"

What We Are Looking For:

Mandatory:

** 7+ years software development experience
** 3+ years leading engineering teams
** Strong knowledge of:

o Laravel (or similar backend frameworks)
o Modern JS frameworks (Vue preferred)
o API-based architecture

** Experience managing distributed teams
** Strong communication skills (English required)
** Ability to hold engineers accountable
** Strong Plus
** Experience in regulated environments (finance, compliance, SaaS)
** Experience scaling teams from 5 → 15+ engineers
** Experience in ISO/security-aware environments
** Experience with performance management

Who You Are:

You are:

** Structured
** Direct but fair
** Comfortable making unpopular decisions
** Not afraid of confrontation
** Focused on delivery
** Strong in ownership culture

You understand that:

** Capacity without accountability is waste.
** Agile without discipline is chaos.

What We Offer:

** Competitive Tbilisi senior leadership salary
** Performance bonus structure
** Long-term growth opportunity
** Exposure to international stakeholders
** Strategic involvement in scaling a technology ecosystem
** Real influence on engineering culture

What Success Looks Like After 12 Months:

** Predictable sprint delivery
** No silent execution culture
** Structured refinement sessions
** Clear accountability per engineer
** Improved velocity without quality loss
** Lower escalations to CTO

Minimum salary: NET 6000 GEL/month
