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.
This is a good fit for someone who is hands-on, pragmatic and comfortable taking ownership in a fast-moving environment.
What You'll Do
Engineering leadership: Define and drive the engineering roadmap in line with product and business priorities.
Team management: Lead, mentor and support engineers, set priorities, remove blockers and help the team perform at its best.
Technical direction: Make and challenge architectural and technical decisions, with a focus on scalability, reliability and maintainability.
Delivery: Lead complex technical projects from planning through execution, ensuring teams stay aligned and focused on outcomes.
Stakeholder management: Work closely with product, sales and business stakeholders to translate requirements into clear technical objectives.
Engineering practices: Establish and improve development standards, processes and ways of working across the engineering organization.
Hands-on contribution: Stay technically close to the team and contribute directly when deeper technical input or support is needed.
Technology strategy: Evaluate new technologies and identify practical opportunities across Cloud, AI, Blockchain and other emerging technologies.
Continuous improvement: Improve engineering processes, team performance and delivery quality as the company scales.
What We're Looking For
Significant experience as an Engineering Manager, Engineering Lead, Head of Engineering or similar technical leadership role.
Strong software engineering background with experience in one or more of Python, Ruby, Elixir or Golang.
Strong understanding of software architecture, engineering practices and modern development workflows.
Proven experience managing engineering teams and delivering complex technical projects.
Ability to balance technical depth with people leadership and remain hands-on when needed.
Strong understanding of agile methodologies and modern engineering practices.
Ability to translate business and product priorities into clear technical execution.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
Pragmatic approach to problem-solving, with the ability to make decisions and move quickly.
Comfortable working independently in a remote, fast-moving environment.
Curious about emerging technologies and able to distinguish practical opportunities from hype.
Fluent French is mandatory.
Strong English communication skills are required.
Why Join
Take ownership of engineering leadership in a growing technology company.
Combine technical leadership, team management and hands-on engineering.
Work directly with product and business stakeholders and influence technical direction.
Have a meaningful impact from day one in a flexible, remote consulting setup.
Potential to extend the mission beyond the initial 3-month engagement based on business needs.
