Engineering Manager - Verticals

Our requirements

• Have experience leading and developing engineering teams, including coaching, feedback, recruitment and performance management.
• Bring a strong software engineering background and can help engineers reason through architecture, system design and technical trade-offs.
• Have a product-oriented mindset and want to understand the customer problem before committing to a solution.
• Can lead work spanning user-facing applications and backend services, collaborating with specialists without needing to be the expert in every technology.
• Are comfortable working with uncertainty, helping a team move from an open question to a testable approach and an achievable delivery plan.
• Use data, customer feedback and experiments to challenge assumptions and assess whether solutions work.
• Collaborate effectively across teams, making dependencies and constraints explicit and building shared ownership of outcomes.
• Are fluent in Polish and have a good command of English.

Your responsibilities

• Lead, coach and develop an engineering team, providing clear expectations, regular feedback and opportunities for growth.
• Help build the team’s capabilities through recruitment, onboarding and thoughtful development of its skills.
• Partner with Product, UX and analytics to understand customer needs, explore opportunities and shape achievable product plans.
• Guide technical decisions across customer-facing experiences and supporting services, balancing delivery speed, reliability, performance and maintainability.
• Support delivery from discovery to production, helping the team break down uncertainty, manage risks and learn from released solutions.
• Coordinate work with partner engineering teams, agreeing responsibilities, integration boundaries and dependencies.
• Build sustainable engineering practices, including testing, observability, operational ownership and incident learning.
• Evaluate progress through customer outcomes and engineering health, rather than treating the number of shipped features as the only measure of success.

About the project

#goodtobehere means that:

• You will join a team you can count on - we work with top-class specialists who have knowledge- and experience-sharing in their DNA.
• You will love our level of autonomy in team organization, the space for continuous development, and the opportunity to try new things. You get to choose which technology solves the problem and you are responsible for what you create.
• You will value our Developer Experience and the full platform of tools and technologies that make creating software easier. We rely on an internal ecosystem based on self-service and widely used tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, Consul, GitHub, and GitHub Actions. Thanks to this, you can contribute to Allegro from your very first days on the job.
• You will be equipped with modern AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on developing new services and refining existing ones (also leveraging AI support).
• You will create solutions that will be used (and loved!) by your friends, family and millions of our customers.
• You will meet the Allegro Scale, which starts with over 1000 microservices, an open-source data bus (Hermes) with 300K+ rps, a Service Mesh with 1M+ rps, tens of petabytes of data, and production-used machine learning.
• You will become part of Allegro Tech - we speak at industry conferences, cooperate with tech communities, run our own blog (it's been over 10 years!), record podcasts, lead guilds, and we organize our own internal conference - the Allegro Tech Meeting. We create solutions we love (and can) to talk about!
