At Akad Seguros, we are bringing **technology** **to the center of business decisions.**
Here, Engineering is co-responsible for the outcome of the product and the business, not just an execution function. We work in small, autonomous, and multidisciplinary squads, organized by business problem — not by technology. Each squad owns its systems end-to-end: from discovery to production operations (“you build it, you run it”). We are a smaller, more senior, and generalist team: we do not divide people between backend and frontend, nor between development and support teams. We prefer distributed decisions, made as close to the problem as possible, within shared principles and standards. Technical leadership happens through influence, mentorship, and context — never through hierarchical authority. This also applies to people leadership: Engineering Managers build teams capable of making good decisions with autonomy, rather than making all the decisions for them.
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to help form a high-performance squad. Your role goes beyond tracking deliveries: You will develop people, build an environment of autonomy and psychological safety, and ensure that the squad generates value in a consistent and sustainable manner — in direct partnership with Product Managers and Staff Engineers.
This position is for those who already have a consolidated management role: someone who operates with full autonomy, including in contexts of greater complexity and ambiguity, and who has already demonstrated consistency in leading people and technical squads.
**Responsibilities:**
* Develop engineering people through continuous feedback, 1:1s, and close career tracking;
* Build a high-performance, autonomous, and psychologically safe environment within the squad;
* Ensure a high-performance, autonomous, and psychologically safe environment within the squad;
* Translate business objectives into clear and measurable goals for the team;
* Remove business objectives into clear and measurable goals for the team;
* Work in continuous partnership with Product Managers, balancing business impact and delivery capacity;
* Work in continuous partnership with Staff Engineers, balancing speed and technical sustainability;
* Actively participate in product discussions, discovery, planning, and domain strategy;
* Identify and develop successors, continuously strengthening the team;
* Promote genuine collaboration between Engineering, Product, and Design;
* Contribute to the operational health of the squad: reliability, observability, reduction of technical debt and toil.
**What do you need to have?**
* Solid experience managing people in software engineering teams, with a consistent history of feedback, 1:1s, and career development;
* Autonomy to operate in contexts of greater complexity and ambiguity, without depending on constant supervision;
* Real experience building and operating software in production — you understand your team's technical decisions well enough to support and question them;
* Ease in transforming business objectives, even if ambiguous, into clear technical direction for the team;
* Ability to remove organizational blockers and simplify processes, instead of adding layers of control;
* Genuine focus on business and customer results — not just task execution or delivery volume;
* Clear communication with technical and non-technical audiences, including Product, Design, and executive leadership;
* Willingness to stay close to technology, even without being in the day-to-day implementation.
**You will stand out if you have...**
* Experience leading squads in high-autonomy and end-to-end ownership environments (“you build it, you run it”);
* Experience in generalist teams, without rigid separation between backend, frontend, data, and QA;
* Experience in the insurance, financial, or other regulated market sector;
* Previous participation in discovery and product strategy, in addition to delivery management;
* Familiarity with reliability, observability, SLIs/SLOs, and error budgets practices
**Here, the challenge is real. If you are looking for an environment with a culture of autonomy, value delivery to the customer, and high-level technical challenges with the possibility of generating great impact — come be part of the Akad team.**
