Assuming responsibility for high-level, complex task fields with a higher level of difficulty due to special/coordination tasks and assuming extensive responsibility for a large operational team area with largely standardized activities.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

You will help teams navigate the real trade-offs between speed, quality, technical debt, and long-term scalability - and turn those trade-offs into better engineering decisions.

  • Lead and develop engineering teams  by creating a strong team environment, coaching people, supporting growth, and helping engineers do their best work
  • Shape technical direction  by guiding architecture and engineering decisions, overseeing complex technical solutions, and strengthening engineering standards
  • Own delivery outcomes  by helping teams deliver high-quality results on time, improving predictability, and removing obstacles that slow delivery down
  • Strengthen quality and reliability  by improving engineering practices, technical processes, and conditions for stable, secure, and sustainable delivery
  • Work across teams and stakeholders  to turn business needs into technically sound solutions, align priorities, and manage expectations
  • Contribute to strategy and performance  by supporting execution across your area, improving ways of working, and helping steer operational and financial priorities
  • Take leadership responsibility  for your teams and area in line with valid legislation and the Slovak Labor Code

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

  • accountability for  engineering team performance, technical execution quality, and sustainable delivery
  • influence over  team growth, hiring decisions, and engineering improvement priorities  in your area
  • a shared role in  technical direction  together with Technical Leads and Architecture, with clear boundaries that keep hands-on technical ownership where it belongs

SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE WILL LOOK LIKE

  • building  stable, engaged, and high-performing engineering teams
  • improving  delivery speed and engineering throughput  without compromising quality
  • reducing  defects, rework, and post-release incidents
  • strengthening adoption of  CI/CD, test automation, and observability  across teams
  • establishing  clear technical standards  that teams follow consistently
  • shortening  time to market  while delivering with the right level of quality, reliability, and sustainability

This role is a strong next step for a senior SW engineer, DevOps engineer, or technical leader who wants to expand their impact - from solving technical problems directly to shaping teams, delivery, and engineering excellence more broadly.

  • bring a  strong software engineering background  and can quickly earn credibility with engineers, technical leaders, and business stakeholders
