Engineering Manager

About the role

Caelor builds apps that make Atlassian work the way people do, because tools should adapt to people, not the other way around. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our delivery organization: about 15 people across product development squads, QA, release management and AI engineering. You’ll report to the CTO and own how we ship, so that every release of our Atlassian Marketplace apps is high quality and on schedule. You’ll also be the person engineers turn to for growth, feedback and removing obstacles.

This is a full-time management role. You won’t write production code day to day, but you’ll stay close enough to the technical work to understand trade-offs, challenge estimates and earn the trust of the engineers you lead.

What you’ll do

• Lead people: manage and coach the two squad leads, run 1:1s, performance reviews and development plans, and build a culture of ownership.
• Hire and onboard: own hiring for delivery, QA and release roles, and get newcomers productive fast.
• Own delivery: planning, estimation, sprint cadence and releases, with a lightweight process shared across squads. Track predictability (cycle time, commitment accuracy, escaped defects).
• Raise quality: manage the QA and Release Manager, move us toward automated testing, and run blameless post-incident reviews.
• Coordinate: resolve priority and resource clashes between squads, and work with the Tech Lead and R&D on standards, security fixes and bringing prototypes (including AI) to production.

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years managing software engineers (1:1s, reviews, hiring)
• An engineering background strong enough to discuss architecture and technical debt
• A track record of improving delivery predictability in agile teams, with concrete examples
• Hands-on experience with QA practices, CI/CD and release processes
• Direct communication: comfortable giving hard feedback and pushing back on unrealistic deadlines
• Fluent English

Nice to have

• Atlassian Marketplace apps (Forge, Connect, Data Center)
• Managing team leads or several teams
• Leading a move from manual to automated testing
• SaaS experience with SOC 2, ISO 27001 or GDPR

What's in for you:

• Attractive remuneration
• Lunch voucher
• Medical insurance
• Annual performance bonuses
• Flexible work hours
• Hydride remote
• 25 days: paid leave
• Team building activities
• Are you a geeky mom? You will keep your salary during your maternity leave and we are addressing flexible hours for working mums!
