Senior Engineering Manager (Remote)

About the role

A high-growth tech company expanding across the region is hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to work remotely. You will lead three Engineering Managers and about 15 engineers, partnering directly with the Lead Product Manager to define technical direction, platform decisions and delivery speed.

Key responsibilities

• Lead three Engineering Managers, ensuring reliable execution while giving teams full autonomy.
• Review technical designs across channels, catalog, inventory, pricing and checkout systems.
• Partner with platform engineering to decide which commerce building blocks become shared services.
• Set SLOs across vertical services and ensure systems hold up during peak traffic.
• Document technical risks explicitly and trade them off against delivery speed.
• Design engineering roles, run hiring loops, set high interview standards and develop future managers.
• Collaborate with product leaders on technical execution, deferring to Staff engineers on deep technical details.

Required profile

• Proven track record leading three or more engineering teams concurrently through engineering managers.
• Staff-level system design capability, able to spot architecture flaws under heavy load.
• Hands-on experience shipping consumer commerce, marketplace or booking platforms.
• Experience leading mobile-focused engineering teams through release trains and store approval processes.
• Track record of building hiring pipelines and developing individual contributors into managers.
• Ability to resolve trade-offs with product counterparts through written documentation rather than escalation.

Required skills

• Proficiency using AI tools to assist development while keeping a deep understanding of all shipped code.
• Experience with superapp mini-app architectures and MENA region payment systems.
• TypeScript, Go, AWS or Arabic language skills are a strong plus.
