AutoScout24 is modernizing a critical, real-world domain where software decisions directly reduce operational friction and unlock new business opportunities. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to build and lead a full-stack team reimagining auto repossession systems—making them smarter, more automated, and increasingly AI-assisted.

This role is for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments with ambiguity, asks sharp questions early, and leads through clarity, trust, and technical judgment. You won’t just run a team—you’ll multiply its impact.

What You'll Own:

A High-Ownership Engineering Team

• Build, hire, and grow a team of full-stack engineers working with modern .NET on AWS

• Create an environment of trust, psychological safety, and high standards

• Coach engineers to take ownership—not just complete tickets

• Transform engineering teams to be curious about the problems they solve and the outcomes to reach

Meaningful Business Outcomes

• Own delivery end to end: velocity, quality, reliability, and long-term maintainability

• Partner tightly with Product, Design, and Data to ship incremental value fast

• Reduce manual operational effort and unlock new automation and AI-enabled capabilities

Technical Direction Without Becoming the Bottleneck

• Guide architecture and technical decisions across services and systems

• Review PRs, challenge assumptions, and raise the quality bar
