Remote Backend / Cloud Engineering Manager @ CouponFollow

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead one of our seven distributed engineering teams . The future team includes five senior backend engineers (your future direct reports), a Product Manager and a Scrum Master - all based in Poland.

Your team develops and maintains internal tools that deliver offers and written content to our websites. The team's main tech stack includes .NET and Azure, with increasing use of AI APIs.

In this role, your primary focus will own the engineering team’s goals, technology choices, delivery outcomes, and overall quality. You will ensure that the team builds scalable, reliable systems and executes effectively against product and business objectives. You’ll provide clear technical direction, remove obstacles, and foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

While you’re still expected to contribute to the codebase when needed, your largest impact will come from setting strong engineering standards, guiding architectural decisions, and ensuring predictable, high-quality delivery. You will also be responsible for growing and supporting engineers through mentorship, coaching, and traditional management practices - helping each team member develop their skills, advance their careers, and do their best work.

• Remote-first work environment

• 10 days (80 hours) of paid Recharge Days   per year
• Annual performance bonus
• $1,000 annual training budget
• All necessary equipment and software licenses provided
• Friendly, collaborative culture — we’re no longer a startup, but not quite a corporation either
• Annual Company Summit, local meetups, and internal learning sessions
• Modern technologies and plenty of room to innovate
• Transparent and open communication . We believe the best ideas can come from anywhere. We maintain a low-bureaucracy environment where open debate is encouraged and feedback loops are short.
