Engineering Manager
Koppla · Berlin, Germany
About The Role
Join our team as an Engineering Manager, where you'll lead and develop our engineering team, improve delivery and processes, provide hands-on guidance, eliminate silos between product and engineering, and be deeply involved in hiring. You'll have the opportunity to make your own decisions, enjoy a family-friendly corporate culture, and contribute to our commitment to climate neutrality.
- Lead and develop the engineering team, providing regular feedback and owning career development.
- Improve delivery, processes, and purposeful AI adoption, challenging and supporting senior engineers.
- Be deeply involved in engineering hiring, helping to close current open roles and assess technical talent.
- Builder of strong engineers. Your former reports got promoted, took on broader scope, or grew into roles that better matched their strengths
- Solid engineering foundation. You were a senior IC before moving into management and can credibly assess technical quality, review code with a critical eye, and contribute in architectural discussions - even if the final call sits with someone else
- Proactive and high-energy operator. You bring a naturally organized workstyle and the drive to push a wide range of topics forward at once, from helping a junior write their first solid code to sharpening how your seniors work, without adding bureaucracy
- Prior engineering management experience in a startup. You've managed engineers as an engineering manager (or similar) before, preferably in a Seed/Series A/B or similar environment. You don't need process or hierarchy to get people moving in the right direction
- You're an experienced hands-on people manager with a strong engineering background and a people first mindset who gets more energy from developing others than from solving things yourself
- Clear communicator. You are fluent in written and spoken English. You communicate clearly across engineering, product, and leadership teams and create alignment through strong written and verbal communication. You are comfortable having clear, honest, and sometimes difficult conversations when needed
