About this role
Role Overview
Lead, coordinate, and organize high-performing data engineering teams.
Actively participate in architecture and system design decisions — reviewing technical proposals, understanding trade-offs, and ensuring solutions are reliable, performant, and cost-efficient.

Accountable for your teams' delivery by ensuring a productive work environment, removing impediments, and fostering a pragmatic, results-oriented engineering culture.
Understand how your teams' data platforms serve Infobip's client-facing products and use that understanding to prioritize effectively.
Track performance and motivation of your team members, identify competency gaps, and support people's growth across diverse profiles.
Drive recruitment, retention, and scaling plans in coordination with People Operations.

Work closely with other engineering managers, principal engineers, and a technical product owner within the Data leadership team, sharing context and aligning priorities.

A strong hands-on technical background (preferably in data technologies) — databases, data pipelines, streaming platforms, or analytics infrastructure.
Comfortable reviewing architecture proposals, understanding system trade-offs (consistency vs. availability, throughput vs. latency), and contributing to design discussions.
Familiarity with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Kafka, Elasticsearch, or ClickHouse is a strong advantage.
A growth mindset and pragmatic approach — value learning, adapting, and moving fast over having all the answers.
Recognize and align business and technical needs — understanding how your teams' work connects to Infobip's products and customer value.
Experienced in developing team members' career paths — including supporting growth across different profiles (DBA, developer, DevOps).
Communicate transparently and at the right level of abstraction, whether that's your engineers, product stakeholders, or VP-level leadership.
Strong understanding of agile methodologies and experience applying them pragmatically.
Establish productive cooperation with cross-functional teams — Data works with every product vertical in the company.
