Engineering Manager

Who you are

• We're looking for a player-coach: a strong engineer who leads people without giving up the keyboard. You'll be a great fit if you have:
• Extensive experience (typically 7+ years) in software engineering, with a proven track record of delivering complex, scalable web applications
• Strong expertise in our core technologies (TypeScript, Node.js, React) and the ability to reason about the entire stack, from the database to the browser — and you still use it daily
• Leadership experience — whether as an Engineering Manager or team lead with direct reports, or as a senior tech lead who has mentored engineers, led projects, and shaped how a team works
• A genuine desire to keep coding: this role is 60–80% hands-on by design, and that's what excites you about it
• A passion for growing people. You find joy in helping other engineers develop, in giving honest feedback, and in building a healthy, high-performing team
• Bonus, not required: a good understanding of building LLM-based applications or ML algorithms — your team includes AI/ML engineers, and being able to follow their work helps, though you won't need to be the expert
• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences

What the job involves

• As Engineering Manager at Cosuno, you will lead a team of full stack engineers while staying deeply hands-on: you'll spend 60–80% of your time coding, reviewing, and shaping the architecture alongside your team. You are the kind of leader who elevates a team by example — writing code that sets the bar, and building an environment where great engineers do their best work
• Your mission might include:
• Leading a team of full stack and AI/ML engineers: coaching, regular 1:1s, growth plans, and hiring — while shipping product yourself every week
• Owning the delivery and technical quality of your team's roadmap, working closely with your Product Manager to plan, de-risk, and execute
• Contributing hands-on across our TypeScript stack (React + Node), from designing features to reviewing pull requests and tackling the hard problems yourself
• Raising the team's technical bar through code reviews, architectural guidance, and best practices — including driving the adoption of AI-assisted engineering workflows
• Partnering with engineering leadership on team topology, processes, and the technical direction of our platform

Benefits

• Flexible working hours
• Working fully remote or from our office in Berlin
• Possibility to do workations
• Modern work equipment
• Company offsites and regular team events (offline and online)
