3601 وظيفة Technical Co Founder Cto قريبًا مني

01. ABOUT THE COMPANY

Dizzaract is a product-driven company operating at the intersection of gaming, digital platforms, and AI. We build and scale multiple products, including FAR Labs & Gamed — each exploring a different space, yet united by a shared approach: moving fast, staying curious, and focusing on things that people actually use.

We operate as a collaborative, non-hierarchical team where ideas are valued based on their impact, not their origin, and where AI is embedded across everything we build, from infrastructure to product decisions.

02. ABOUT THE ROLE

FAR Labs is building an AI-native engineering organisation where AI is embedded into how we design, build, test, and operate products. You’ll help define what a high-performing engineering team looks like when every engineer is deeply AI-enabled — and continuously improve how we work as these tools evolve.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to strengthen the FAR Labs engineering organisation and work directly with our CTO & Co-Founder.
This role sits between engineering, product, and business. You will own the day-to-day effectiveness of the engineering organisation: team structure, delivery, engineering processes, performance management, hiring, and development of the team.

Your role is to make sure the engineering organisation executes around that direction effectively — with clear ownership, strong teams, predictable delivery, and high engineering standards.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands technology deeply, can challenge senior engineers and technical leads, and knows how to build an engineering environment where people perform and grow.

03. WHO YOU ARE

• Experienced Engineering Leader: You have a strong software engineering background combined with several years of experience leading engineering teams, senior engineers, and technical leads.
• Technically Credible: You understand modern software architecture, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, reliability, and software development practices well enough to challenge technical decisions and support strong engineers.
• Execution-Focused: You know how to turn business and product priorities into clear engineering plans, remove blockers, manage dependencies, and keep teams moving toward releases.
• People Manager: You are comfortable with hiring, performance management, development conversations, difficult feedback, team changes, and creating clear expectations for engineers.
• Systems Thinker: You naturally look at team structure, processes, ownership, communication, and delivery as connected parts of one engineering system.
• Product & Business Mindset: You understand that engineering exists to solve real product and business problems, and you can communicate technical trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Builder: You are comfortable creating processes and structures from scratch rather than relying on established corporate systems.

04. RESPONSIBILITIES

• Engineering Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop engineers and engineering leads across FAR Labs, creating a culture of ownership, accountability, transparency, and high performance.
• Engineering Organisation: Structure engineering into effective teams based on products, technical domains, priorities, and available capacity. Define clear ownership and responsibilities across teams and individuals.
• Delivery & Releases: Own engineering execution across projects and releases. Track progress, blockers, dependencies, risks, and timelines and ensure leadership has clear visibility into delivery.
• Engineering Processes: Build and continuously improve planning, estimation, development, code review, testing, release, retrospective, and incident-management processes.
• Velocity & Performance: Identify bottlenecks affecting engineering velocity and systematically remove them while maintaining strong quality and reliability standards.
• People Management: Own regular 1:1s, performance reviews, development plans, feedback cycles, performance improvement, and career development across the engineering organisation.
• Hiring & Team Building: Partner with the CTO and People team on workforce planning, hiring, interviewing, onboarding, performance management, and offboarding.
• Product & Business Alignment: Work closely with Product and Business teams to translate priorities into engineering plans and make sure engineers understand both what they are building and why.
• Technical Excellence: Partner with the CTO and technical leads to maintain strong standards around architecture, code quality, scalability, security, reliability, technical debt, and maintainability.
• Infrastructure & Reliability: Ensure strong engineering practices around CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, observability, incident response, and production reliability.
• Engineering Metrics: Introduce and track meaningful metrics around delivery, quality, reliability, capacity, and engineering performance.

05. REQUIREMENTS

• 7+ years of software engineering experience.
• 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams in a technology company.
• Previous experience managing Senior Engineers, Tech Leads, or multiple engineering teams.
• Strong technical background with solid understanding of modern software architecture, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and system reliability.
• Proven experience building or improving engineering processes and team structures.
• Strong experience managing software delivery from planning through production.
• Experience with hiring, onboarding, performance management, employee development, and difficult performance decisions.
• Ability to manage technical debt while balancing short-term product priorities with long-term engineering quality.
• Strong understanding of Agile software development principles and modern engineering practices.
• Experience working closely with Product, Business, and other cross-functional stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to make decisions in fast-moving environments.
• Experience scaling an engineering organisation or building engineering processes in a startup or scale-up environment is a strong plus.
• Experience in AI, ML infrastructure, distributed systems, developer infrastructure, or technically complex products is a plus.
• English level: Advanced (C1).

06. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• Engineering Scale: How to structure and scale an engineering organisation around rapidly evolving AI products and infrastructure.
• AI Infrastructure: Exposure to distributed AI systems, infrastructure, compute, and emerging technologies across the FAR Labs ecosystem.
• Engineering Leadership: Building engineering systems where team structure, processes, performance, and delivery evolve together as the organisation grows.
• Product & Technology Strategy: Working closely with a technical founder and leadership team to understand how engineering decisions translate directly into product and business outcomes.

07. WHAT WE OFFER

• Real ownership and direct impact on the structure and performance of the FAR Labs engineering organisation.
• Direct collaboration with the CTO & Co-Founder and senior leadership team.
• The opportunity to shape engineering processes, team structure, hiring, and ways of working.
• Hands-on exposure to technically challenging AI, infrastructure, and distributed systems problems.
• Fast execution, low bureaucracy, and a highly collaborative, idea-driven team.
• Competitive salary with performance-based incentives.
• 24 days annual leave, plus public holidays.
• Health insurance.
• Modern office in Yas Creative Hub.
• Continuous learning through real-world problem solving — not just theory.
• The opportunity to influence both engineering execution and product direction.
• A diverse, open-minded team where ideas are genuinely heard.
