Engineering Manager to Piktiv

Lead without leaving the code behind. At Piktiv, you’ll be part of a team where leadership means coaching, not controlling – and where you still get to solve real technical problems every day. We’re looking for someone who builds trust, drives improvement, and wants to shape how great software teams grow. This is a role for someone who enjoys balancing code and coaching – and who listens as much as they lead.

Who we are

At Piktiv, we’re a consultancy built on trust, curiosity, and technical excellence. We partner with clients across industries – from medtech and heavy industry to fintech, retail and the video game industry – to help them build products and systems that truly make a difference.

We're not tied to one tech stack or way of working. Instead, we believe in finding the right tools and approaches for each assignment. That flexibility keeps our work dynamic and allows our teams to explore, adapt and learn together.

The Role

As Engineering Manager, you'll lead a skilled team – not by stepping back, but by staying close to the work. You’ll write code, review code, and be part of the full development life cycle. But just as importantly, you’ll listen. You’ll support your team by creating space for ideas, concerns, and feedback – and turning that input into action.

You’ll help your team grow, not just in skills, but in confidence and autonomy. You’ll shape how we work, how we learn, and how we continue to build a culture based on trust, transparency and shared responsibility.

In this role, you will:

• Contribute actively to development – through coding, code reviews and discussions

• Lead through example, and support individual growth through 1:1s and feedback

• Encourage autonomy while providing guidance when needed

• Support recruitment and onboarding of new engineers

• Take part in salary reviews and negotiations to ensure fair and competitive compensation for your team.

• Continuously improve how we work together – technically and culturally at Piktiv

What We’re Looking For

You’re an experienced software developer who enjoys helping others grow. You value open communication, thoughtful leadership, and staying close to the team’s everyday work – listening, supporting, and turning feedback into action. You lead with trust and transparency, and create an environment where people feel safe to learn, contribute, and take ownership.

We believe you’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Have solid experience as a developer, with a strong understanding of modern software practices

• Have led or supported the growth of engineers or teams

• Are a strong communicator and attentive listener who takes feedback seriously

• Are comfortable working in an English-speaking environment

• Appreciate working with diverse tech stacks and adapting to different contexts

Why Join Piktiv?

We work with clients who trust us to solve meaningful challenges, and we trust our teams to shape how we do that. Whether it’s choosing the right tech for the job or building a culture of learning – your input matters.

What sets us apart:

• We choose tech based on the problem – not the other way around

• We value long-term thinking over shortcuts

• We believe engineers should grow with their strengths – whether that’s tech, leadership or both

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, shaped in conversation with you

• Benefits tailored to your needs and preferences

• A supportive, low-ego culture where people share knowledge freely

• The chance to make a real impact – in code, in culture, and in how we grow
