We'd love to tell you about it though, so ask us!\nEngineering at Monizze\nOur engineering organisation is built around agentic coding : our engineers don’t just write code, they lead their agents. Skills, agents and context files are versioned and reviewed with the code. Our standards and Architecture Decision Records are written for people and agents alike. Engineers join each initiative at discovery, alongside Product and UX, and them own its design, build, testing and after-care. Two engineering teams are each led by an Engineering Manager, who coaches +/-7 engineers, makes sure the quality holds and drives agentic adoption engineer by engineer. The Delivery Manager makes sure that what we commit to ships on time and as pitched. The Lead Architect owns the architecture direction and the ADRs and sets the framework for agentic coding. Principal Engineers act as the referents for each stack. One quality bar applies to everyone: be proud of what you ship, and AI-generated code meets the same standard as any other code.\nThe role\nThis is a people management role for a tech-credible manager who can code. You are the line manager of your team, but you are not on the critical path of delivery.\nYour job in one line: make sure your team is made of engineers who grow, own what they ship, and ship it the right way.\nRequirements\nWhat You’ll Do\nGrow your people\nline-manage the software engineers of your team and run recurrent 1-2-1s: make sure they have what they need, coach their way of working and productivity, spot shortcomings early and act on them\n\ndevelop each engineer, not only their output: training, pairing with more senior profiles, stretch assignments such as leading a first project or a first discovery, exposure to other parts of the stack\n\nset objectives and run the mid-year and annual reviews, with no surprise at review time: feedback is given when it happens\n\npropose promotions and salary evolution, using the career ladder as the shared reference\n\nanticipate people risks (holidays, departures, overload, critical knowledge held by a single person) before they become delivery issues\n\nHire and build the team\ndefine with the CTO the profiles your team needs, run the interviews and take the hiring decision together\n\nonboard new joiners: our products, standards and ADRs, ways of working, and the agentic way of working from day one, within the framework set by the Lead Architect\n\nkeep a balanced team: seniority mix, no single point of failure on a critical component, capacity to deliver\n\nOwn engineering quality\nchallenge and validate tech designs, estimates and POCs before delivery, and bring in the Lead Architect when an initiative goes beyond the agreed ecosystem\n\nmake sure your team delivers according to the ADRs and quality standards\n\nuphold our ways of working: real code reviews (build, test, try to break it), no tests = no merge, AI-generated code under the same quality bar\n\nwhen a problem is architectural, start the reflection with the Lead Architect: you don't run it, you make sure it starts\n\nmake your team own its after-care: weekly support rotation, runbooks updated after each resolution, a healthy balance between run and delivery\n\nMake agentic coding real\nThe Lead Architect sets the direction, the Principal Engineers build the tooling, you make adoption happen engineer by engineer.\nmake agentic coding part of each engineer's objectives, reviews and productivity coaching\n\nsurface your team's real pain points and feed them to the Lead Architect and the Principal Engineers\n\nfollow the adoption and impact indicators for your team (usage, cycle time, rework, quality) and act on them\n\nkeep engineers accountable for every line merged, AI-generated or not, with extra caution on critical code (security, payments, card data)\n\nTake part in engineering steering \njoin the recurring engineering steering with the CTO, the Delivery Manager, the Lead Architect and the other Engineering Manager: status, staffing, people risks, tech debt, trade-offs on scope and quality\n\nkeep both teams consistent with the other Engineering Manager: same practices, same quality bar, engineers able to move from one team to the other\n\nWhat this role doesn’t hold\nyou're not on the critical path of delivery: delivery planning sits with the Delivery Manager\n\nyou don't set the architecture direction: the Lead Architect does\n\nyou don't set product priorities: they sit with Product\n\nyou don't have the final say on promotions and salaries: you propose, the CTO validates\n\nWhat stays yours: whether each engineer grows, whether the team ships to the standard, and whether coding agents become part of everyone's daily toolbox.\nWhat we’re looking for\nYou have managed a software engineering team (~5-10 engineers), ideally after a career as a software engineer or tech lead.\n\nYou use coding agents daily and have helped a team adopt them: you understand what they change in productivity, code review and quality control.\n\nYou are tech-credible: you read and challenge a design, a PR or an estimate, and can still code on our stack (PHP/Laravel, Vue/TypeScript, React Native) when it helps: pairing, a POC, unblocking someone.\n\nYou coach, give direct feedback and handle difficult conversations, including improvement plans. You have hired and onboarded engineers.\n\nYou care about quality and measure it: code review, test pyramid, CI, ADRs, and indicators you use to ask the right questions, not to replace judgment.\n\nExperience in regulated environments (payments, PCI DSS, ISO 27001) is a plus.\n\nYou are fluent in English and in French or Dutch\n\nYour profile\ncredible with engineers first: they trust your tech judgment, even though coding isn’t your core activity\n\nkind, not soft: you tell uncomfortable truths, give and ask for direct feedback, and don't let things slide to avoid friction\n\na developer of people: you care about how each engineer learns and evolves, not only about what they deliver\n\nstructured and data-informed: you use indicators to ask the right questions, not to replace judgment\n\nWhy join Monizze ?\nMonizze sits at the intersection of purchasing power, payments, mobility and employee benefits. A Belgian challenger with genuine ambition and the pace to match. You'll shape a new role in an engineering organization being redesigned now, and lead a team from developers who write code to engineers who lead their agents.\nTwo outcomes are always valid here: change the standard, or follow it. If you want to keep the first possible and the second clear, let's talk.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8076,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Cafeteria"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Gift Cards & Loyalty Programs","HR & Payroll Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T18:39:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/monizze-engineering-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/monizze-engineering-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T13:08:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17824,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54399},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54399"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmonizze-engineering-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmonizze-engineering-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmonizze-engineering-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/monizze-engineering-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmonizze-engineering-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3538967}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"monizze.be","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3538967},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
