Engineering Manager (f/m/d)

As an Engineering Manager, you will have the exciting opportunity to lead a talented team of product-minded developers who are passionate about creating innovative solutions. You’ll contribute to developing and continuously enhancing our cutting-edge Software-as-a-Service product. With your expertise, you’ll tackle complex customer and architectural challenges through the design of scalable and resilient software, utilizing a modern tech stack and microservices architecture. Combine your outstanding technical skills with your leadership talents to help us establish one of the most exceptional engineering organizations globally!
Join us as a member of the Application Discovery tribe, where we focus on building integrations that discover applications, interfaces, and data objects. Our aim is to empower our customers to swiftly and comprehensively uncover their current architectural landscape. Our team prides itself on a strong customer-centric approach: we actively engage in customer meetings to gather valuable firsthand feedback. Join us in our mission to:

• Build visibility into used capabilities in SAP Build and SAP ABAP Cloud and detection of non-standard capabilities.
• Collaborate with other teams to create an excellent application discovery experience for our customers.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? Well, there are multiple reasons:

• We're on a strong growth trajectory, and by becoming a part of SAP, our future is stable and secure, allowing us to accelerate.
• Our products are industry-leading, with happy customers and an NPS of 70. Our culture of empowered product teams means we solve problems instead of implementing features. We drive our efforts by closely contacting our customers and measuring how they use our products..
• We build it, we run it. We ensure customers can rely on resilient and performant products. We stay ahead of trouble through a high degree of automation, alerting, SRE practices, and On-Call. There is no dedicated operations department in place at LeanIX.
• We prioritize continuous improvement, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. We constantly iterate on our engineering practices and skills to build a software architecture that supports fun at work and the long-term success of the business.
• We value open access to leadership, transparency, and personal development. We successfully enabled many software engineers to grow along with the company into engineering manager or technical lead positions. You’ll continue this success story while we offer you opportunities to grow.
• We value a healthy life balance, and our employees make room for interests and relationships outside of their jobs. We offer a hybrid working environment, providing a high grade of flexibility while meeting colleagues in one of our offices from time to time.

WHAT IS WAITING FOR YOU?
Your main objective is to lead your team and yourself:

• Help shape and build your team by leading the hiring efforts and then continue scaling it.
• Drive growth and culture through 1:1s with individuals and in team sessions.
• Guide your team to improve the development process continuously and to make customer-centricity part of their DNA.
• Inspire your team to work collaboratively, share knowledge, and look beyond the team’s boundaries.
• Learn and grow as a professional through leadership and buddy programs, training budgets, and a strong community of leaders within and outside of Engineering.

LeanIX believes in hands-on managers, so you will also spend a considerable amount of your time to:

• Build the best possible product for our customers with a customer-first, outcome-oriented mindset.
• Bring in senior engineer experience and a proven track record of strong problem-solving skills at scale.
• Utilize your ability to continuously improve our software stack and developer experience through code.
