Delivery Lead | Engineering Manager

About Boldare & the Europe Team

Boldare is an Agile-powered product development and consulting company with nearly two decades of international experience. Since 2004, we've helped clients redefine their industries by building digital products their users actually want - across Western and Northern Europe, the UK, North America, the Middle East, and beyond. We've shipped over 300 digital products and we're not slowing down.

The Europe team is a tight-knit group of people who take their work seriously but don't take themselves too seriously. We work closely with clients across Europe, value real ownership, and believe that good project management is about people as much as it is about process.

Also titled: Technical Delivery Manager, Dev Team Lead, Engineering Lead

You live at the intersection of technical execution and human coordination. You know enough about how software gets built to spot problems early - and enough about people to know how to fix them.

The role: three names, one real job

We're being transparent: we don't know exactly what to call this role yet, because it depends on who you are. We're looking for someone who sits between a project manager and an engineering lead: someone who owns delivery quality, team health, and technical direction without being purely one or the other.

Below are three framings. The right one depends on your background. All three are the same opening.

Framing A: Delivery Lead

You come from a PM or delivery background and have grown into deep technical fluency.

• You've run dev teams and understand the code well enough to have credible technical conversations
• You structure delivery, remove blockers, and keep quality high - without micromanaging
• You think in systems: dependencies, risks, team capacity, client expectations
• You're comfortable telling a client their idea needs more time, and comfortable telling the team why
• You've used AI tools in delivery workflows and want to go further

Framing B: Engineering Manager

You come from a technical background and have stepped into team and delivery ownership.

• You've moved from writing code to owning the team that writes code
• You manage engineering delivery end-to-end: backlog, architecture decisions, process, quality
• You do 1:1s, feedback conversations, and performance support - without losing sight of the product
• You understand the business context well enough to translate it into technical priorities
• You treat AI tooling as an engineering question, not a strategy slide

Framing C: Technical Delivery Manager

You're genuinely half-and-half - not a full PM, not a full EM, and that's the point.

• You hold technical credibility and stakeholder trust simultaneously
• You can review a PR and run a discovery workshop in the same week
• You know when to escalate a technical decision and when to make the call yourself
• You build team culture intentionally - psychological safety isn't a buzzword to you
• You've worked in a product studio, consultancy, or agency before and know how client work differs from internal

What we're looking for - regardless of framing

• 3+ years of experience in a technical delivery, dev management, or similar hybrid role
• Strong communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Practical experience with Agile delivery - not just the theory
• Hands-on with Jira, GitHub, Google Workspace
• Ownership mindset - you define problems before someone asks you to
• Fluent Polish and English (B2+)
• Available for Gliwice office once a week

Nice to have:

• Experience in a software consultancy or digital product studio
• Background in AI-augmented development or toolchain automation
• Experience managing distributed or cross-border teams

Recruitment process

• Step 1: CV + 1-minute video in English - tell us which framing fits you best and why. No video = no review.
• Step 2: 1.5-hour role-focused interview - tailored to your background.
• Step 3: Offsite in Gliwice - meet the team, culture conversation.

A Note on AI

At Boldare, we believe in using technology to amplify human potential. We actively encourage candidates to use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor: whatever works for you) even during the recruitment process. If they help you think more clearly or communicate better, go for it. We're curious to see how you think, not how fast you type.

What We Offer

• Fully remote with flexibility
• International projects across Europe and beyond
• Flat structure: your voice matters from day one
• A team that values ownership, transparency, and direct communication
• Equipment: MacBook or Windows notebook, monitors if needed
• AI tools across the stack: we use them, teach them, build with them
• Regular team meetups: remote doesn't mean isolated
• Around since 2004, still no corporate HR department
• Clients building something real, not running another rebrand
• Colleagues who give real feedback, not just good vibes
