At KONUX, we are passionate about driving innovation in the fields of IoT and AI, and we are looking for like-minded individuals to join our team.

Job Description:

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to join our Data and Cloud Platform team. This team plays a central enabling role at KONUX: it provides the data and cloud foundations used by our product engineering teams, while also supporting Revenue, Operations, and other business functions in accessing, analysing, and acting on data.

In this role, you will set clear priorities, align technical strategy with company goals, and help the team make sound trade-offs across reliability, scalability, security, data quality, cost, and delivery speed. You will combine strong people leadership with hands-on technical judgement: you should be able to assess technical designs, understand implementation risks, guide engineers towards pragmatic solutions, and contribute directly to the codebase or technical delivery where needed. You will also act as an important communication bridge between Engineering, Product, Revenue, Operations, and leadership, ensuring complex technical topics are clearly understood by both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Contribute directly to technical delivery where needed, leading by example on data and software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and automation of operational processes
- Assess technical designs hands-on, identify risks and trade-offs, and guide engineers towards pragmatic, maintainable solutions
- Communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, risks, priorities, and delivery constraints clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Financial Management

- Own the annual team budget, managing both staff and operational expenses
- Control and optimise costs across pre-production and production environments

- Software, DevOps, Data Engineering, or other STEM background, with a minimum of 8+ years of experience and 2+ years in an engineering leadership role, ideally incl. people-management
- Strong people leadership skills, including coaching, conflict resolution, hiring, performance management, and building a healthy team culture
- Ability to assess technical designs hands-on, identify risks and trade-offs, and guide engineers towards pragmatic, maintainable solutions
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to align engineers, business stakeholders, and leadership around complex technical topics
