Engineering Manager - Skribble team
We at Holycode are currently looking for a Engineering Manager with strong skills and proven experience who is ready to dive into the Skribble team, for a full-time engagement, to join our team of passionate IT professionals, here in our Belgrade office.
Skribble aims to simplify the lives of people and create trust in the digital world. Worldwide. Our mission is to contribute a key element that is intuitive in usage and simple to implement: digital signatures. We advise and support organizations in implementing digital signatures so that we are all better off by trusting more, wasting less time, and safeguarding environmental resources.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Hands-on Engineering Manager who can think like a product manager and build like an engineer.
You’ll own the Technical Delivery for our Product Development team and serve as the primary partner for Product Design and the CPO on solution design and decision-making.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, product, UX, and business. You can unblock developers fast, and help the team move from idea → implementation → measurable impact.
You’ll stay close enough to the work to understand constraints and guide direction, but far enough to make business-minded trade-offs and drive the team toward outcomes, not just output.
Note: This role blends technical leadership with product thinking. It is not a pure engineering role nor a pure PM role. It’s for someone who can own the “how,” influence the “what,” and help us ship learning-driven solutions quickly.
Your responsibilities
Team Leadership & Delivery (≈50%)
- Manage sprint planning, team workload, delivery targets, and estimates.
- Unblock developers quickly, technically, and organizationally.
- Facilitate discovery, document decisions, and ensure clarity across the team.
- Drive high-quality execution from exploration to rollout.
- Moderate retros, planning sessions, grooming, and cross-functional meetings.
- Take ownership of delivery reliability, predictability, and quality.
Technical Contribution (≈50%)
- Sparring, reviews, and occasional coding.
- Provide technical direction and ensure solutions are scalable, simple, and maintainable.
- Make quick, pragmatic decisions in UX and system design when needed.
Product & Experimentation Mindset
- Work closely with Product and Design to connect engineering to user behavior.
- Prioritize impact: focus the team on experiments, outcomes, and learning cycles.
- Translate business needs into actionable, measurable technical work.
- Continuously improve how we build, validate, ship, and iterate.
People & Line Management
- Provide clear feedback, coaching, and professional development support.
- Foster a culture of ownership, curiosity, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Promote data-informed decision-making and a strong product mindset within engineering.
About You
You are a technical leader who naturally steps into the role of solution owner. You can zoom into code details and zoom out into product and business implications.
You’ll fit right in if you
- Have several years of experience as a tech lead or engineering manager.
- Are comfortable making product-adjacent decisions.
- Can connect the dots between technical decisions, user flows, and business impact.
- Are hands-on with modern web technologies.
- Communicate clearly and bring clarity to ambiguous situations.
- Enjoy leading people, but stay close enough to the work to guide it effectively.
- Care deeply about usability, performance, and quality, not just correctness.
- Believe excellent engineering is as much about learning fast as it is about shipping fast.
