About the role

The Engineering Manager is accountable for the performance, growth, and delivery of one or more squads operating within HomeMade’s SAP domain. This role is accountable for stakeholder management, squad health, technical direction, and hands-on delivery.

You will manage priorities, develop squad engineers, and ensure engineering execution aligns tightly with product and business goals. You are an empowerer of your squad, ensuring the right things are being delivered, by a team that is growing and functioning well.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead one or more cross-functional squads within the SAP domain, owning delivery outcomes, team health, and engineering quality across a more complex or ambiguous problem space.
- Partner with Product Management counterparts to maintain a healthy backlog, align on priorities, and sequence delivery in a way that is sustainable and high-impact.
- Own the performance and development of direct reports - setting clear expectations, running structured 1:1s, delivering timely feedback, and building individual growth plans aligned to career goals.
- Manage a broad stakeholder group, including escalating and resolving delivery risks, navigating competing demands across teams, and maintaining alignment across functions.
- Drive engineering excellence within squads: champion modern practices including TDD, CI/CD, trunk‑based development, and sound software design patterns.
- Contribute to cross‑team technical decisions in collaboration with Principal/Staff Engineers and the Senior Engineering Manager, particularly on non‑functional requirements, architecture, and tooling.




- Identify and resolve bottlenecks across skills, processes and tooling, driving improvements at squad and domain level.
- Develop working knowledge of the SAP platform sufficient to guide delivery decisions, assess technical complexity, participate in hiring, onboarding, and capability building for the SAP engineering function.
- Monitor delivery metrics, ensure transparency of progress and risk, and drive continuous improvement in how squads operate.

Skills, Knowledge and Experience

- Proven experience in a technical leadership role with direct people management responsibility, including performance and development conversations.
- Familiarity with, or demonstrated ability to develop fluency in, enterprise platforms such as SAP, prior SAP experience is advantageous but not essential for the right candidate. Experience transitioning enterprise platforms to cloud platforms, particularly to AWS, is particularly valuable.
- Demonstrated ability to operate across a complex or multi‑squad delivery workplace, managing competing priorities and cross‑team dependencies.
- Experience developing engineers and/or team leads through structured feedback, coaching, and career conversations.
- Ability to manage and influence a broad stakeholder set beyond the immediate squad,



with clear and proactive communication of delivery risk.
- Solid grounding in modern engineering practices: CI/CD, testing frameworks, software design patterns, and DevOps tooling.
- Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy in ambiguous or undefined problem spaces.
- Strong communication skills - able to translate between technical and non‑technical audiences at pace.
