Location While our company operates exclusively on a remote basis, you must reside and have the legal right to work in one of the following countries: the United Kingdom, Latvia, or Spain. This is a full-time, remote position. Please note that we do not engage on a B2B or contractor basis. About the Team We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a cross-functional team in our Product Engineering organization. Each of our engineering teams owns a product domain at Lokalise, from vision to delivery. Teams talk to customers, find out what they need, set their own goals and choose how to solve the problems that matter most. AI is already part of how we build software at Lokalise, and it's changing what great engineering leadership looks like. We're looking for a leader who stays close to the work and understands how AI is changing speed, quality and engineers' day-to-day experience. You'll keep your teams focused on outcomes that matter to our customers and our business, not just on how much gets shipped. For this role, you'll lead our Editing Experience team. The team owns the tools linguists and reviewers use every day to translate, review and approve content at scale: the translation editor, the review and approval workflow, content management tools and the developer utilities that support them. Together with your Product Manager and Designer, you'll own the team's strategy and delivery end to end. What You Will Do • Lead, coach and develop your teams of Software Engineers. You'll support their career growth, run performance evaluations, contribute to compensation planning and hire engineers who raise the bar. • Stay technically close to the work without becoming a bottleneck. You'll review key designs and pull requests, pair with engineers on tricky problems and take on contributions outside the critical path (such as tooling, prototypes or small fixes). This keeps you in touch with the codebase and your teams' daily reality while they own delivery. • Partner with Product Managers and Designers (the Product Triad) to understand our customers deeply and take part in discovery. You'll make sure your teams work on the right problems, putting outcomes ahead of outputs. • Connect engineering decisions to business impact. Understand how your domain contributes to customer value, retention and revenue, and use that to guide trade-offs on scope, investment and technical debt. • Own your teams' flow of work from start to finish. Track and act on delivery and quality signals (such as cycle time, deployment frequency, change failure rate and recovery time), clear bottlenecks across planning, review, testing and release, and keep cognitive load sustainable. • Lead your teams' move to AI-native engineering across the SDLC. Embed AI tools and agentic workflows, measure their real effect on speed, quality and how engineers experience
