About the role

BETWEEN Group is a multinational consultancy with advanced technological capabilities in Engineering and ICT. Currently, BETWEEN has a team of 1000 professionals in the automotive, railway, retail, and other industries.

We are expanding our team and are looking for an Engineering Manager with extensive experience in a similar role, for a stable and permanent project, within one of the technology teams that Between has deployed at one of our key clients.

Mission: as a hands-on EM, you will be responsible for stabilizing delivery, ensuring execution, and managing incidents and dependencies, as well as solving complex technical problems; generating a direct impact on the product and the business.

  • API as a product: here, the deliverable is the API itself (a platform without a front end), including contract design, versioning, and consumer management. 
  • JVM backend microservices platform

What you'll do

Execution and delivery:

  • Ensure predictable, stable, and high-quality delivery.
  • Optimize processes (planning, incident management, prioritization).
  • Reduce variability: interruptions, priority changes, and rework.
  • Technical challenge: lead experienced technical teams with a strong technical mindset, going beyond just process improvement.

Team management:

  • Lead teams in complex environments with a data-driven approach.
  • Define clear ownership and improve team efficiency.
  • You will work with metrics:
  • Quantitative: velocity, throughput, predictability, DORA metrics.
  • Qualitative: team dynamics, friction points, and blockers.

Work environment and team stability:

  • Ensure a stable, sustainable, and productive work environment.
  • Detect and reduce attrition, friction, and turnover.

Organization and scalability:

  • Evolve the operating model after team consolidation.
  • Ownership over critical systems and services (24/7).
  • Reduce dependencies and organizational complexity.

Operations and incidents:

  • Implement an efficient incident management model (intake, triage).
  • Reduce operational noise and improve escalation and resolution.

Collaboration with Product, Technology, and Business:

  • Collaborate closely with Product on the roadmap and prioritization.
  • Align stakeholders and translate business needs into executable plans.
  • Collaborate with Tech Leads on technical matters that support the evolution of the system and the team (PRs, incidents, technical challenges).
  • Maintain focus on the real product impact.

AI and SDD (Spec Driven Development):

  • Use and promote AI to improve efficiency (analysis, documentation, development).
  • Promote Spec Driven Development (SDD) practices.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce friction and accelerate delivery.

In addition, working for BETWEEN you will obtain the following additional benefits:

  • Be part of a young team in a tech-savvy community.
  • You will join a high-performance team with a high degree of specialization.
  • Training with BTW University (Languages, Power Business School, Udemy, Technical Certifications, Pharos, Bootcamps, etc.).
  • Free private health insurance from day one. Option to receive part of your salary through Flexible Benefits (meal tickets, childcare, etc.).
  • Access to a wide range of discounts (Travel, technology, and more).
  • Reduced rates for wellness, fitness, and nutrition with WellHub.
  • Celebrating your birthday as a Betweener has its reward!

  • Solid technical background (TDD, BDD, DDD, API-first) and the ability to collaborate on technical matters with Tech Leads.
  • AI applied to development or team management.

Soft skills:
