Full description

We are seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager for AI Platform, the team that builds and supports internal AI platforms used across the company.

You will lead a cross-functional engineering team, own delivery end to end, and work closely with Product, Data, and AI teams on scope, priorities, and the platform roadmap. This is a hands-on role: beyond people management, you will take an active part in shaping the architecture and making technical decisions within the team.

Challenges that await you:

  • Build and lead the team across hiring, planning, task decomposition, process improvements, and cross-team collaboration
  • Own and drive the development of internal AI platforms from concept to production, and keep them reliable as adoption grows
  • Turn recurring needs from product teams into reusable platform capabilities rather than one-off solutions
  • Ensure strong team performance and reliable, on-time delivery aligned with company and business goals
  • Partner closely with Product, Data, and AI teams, and with the internal teams who use the platforms, to understand their needs and drive adoption
  • Make well-reasoned build-vs-adopt decisions, including evaluating, integrating, and extending open-source solutions
  • Shape the architecture, design, and implementation of scalable backend services, APIs, and integrations

What makes you a great fit:

  • Experience leading engineering teams, including hiring, people development, performance, and delivery management
  • Proven experience leading teams in AI, ML, or data-driven engineering environments as well as training models on your own
  • Strong technical background with hands-on development experience and the ability to validate technical decisions independently
  • Experience taking AI-powered products or services from concept to production including measuring their impact through A/B tests or other metrics
  • Ability to translate ambiguous business and product requirements into clear technical solutions and priorities
  • Strong cross-team communication skills and the ability to collaborate with Product, Data and business stakeholders
  • English proficiency at B1 level or higher for effective collaboration with an international team

Our ways of working:

  • Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions
  • Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication
  • Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community
  • Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together
  • High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who date to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances

Our benefits:

  • Relocation support to one of our hubs — Cyprus, Spain or Georgia — with assistance for the employee and their family
  • Flexible work from one of our offices or remote
  • Healthcare Coverage
  • Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certifications
  • Wellness Budget: Mental health and fitness activity reimbursements
  • Vacation Policy: Annual leave and paid sick leave as per applicable policies
