About the Opportunity

Pragmatike is recruiting on behalf of a growing technology company looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to take ownership of its engineering function on a consulting basis.

This is a 3-month initial mission, renewable based on business needs, with an ASAP start.

You will sit at the intersection of engineering leadership, technical decision-making and business priorities. The role combines team management with enough technical depth to challenge architectural decisions, unblock engineers and stay close to the technology.

You will work closely with product and business stakeholders to turn company priorities into clear technical direction, while helping the engineering team improve how it builds, delivers and operates.
