As an Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of 4–6 engineers, with a strong focus on people leadership, coaching, and engineering excellence, while maintaining enough technical context to guide architecture and support teams working across event‑driven, serverless‑first environments.
Working closely with Engineering, Product, and Delivery leaders, you will balance Building (20%), Guiding (50%), and Leading (30%), contributing to shared platform capabilities, tooling, and practices that enable teams across oOh!media to deliver high‑quality solutions at pace.
