About the role:

We are looking for a people-first Associate Engineering Manager to lead one of our core development teams for TestComplete. This is not a hands-on coding position, but it does require a strong understanding of software development principles and the ability to engage confidently with engineers, architects, and product owners.

You’ll manage a cross-functional team across Poland and India, drive delivery of high-impact features and modernization efforts, and foster a culture of collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement. You’ll be accountable for execution, team performance, and people development — balancing short-term product milestones with long-term architectural evolution.

• Lead and support a cross-site engineering team (Wrocław + Bangalore), ensuring clarity, focus, and alignment around goals.
• Collaborate with product and QA leaders to deliver features and enhancements in line with customer and business needs.
• Manage team performance, career development, and retention by providing continuous feedback, mentorship, and growth opportunities.
• Create a healthy, inclusive engineering culture that prioritizes code quality, ownership, and iterative delivery.
• Guide the team through architectural and technical transitions in coordination with senior engineers and architects.
• Improve processes, delivery cadence, and cross-functional communication using agile best practices.
• Participate in hiring and scaling the team in alignment with strategic growth plans.

We are looking for you if you have:

• 8+ years of experience in software development organizations, with at least 2–3 years in engineering management or technical leadership roles.
• Proven ability to lead distributed teams, manage performance, and deliver results through others.
• Experience working on or managing desktop application teams is strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with compiled languages and large-scale codebases (e.g., C++, Delphi, C#, Java) is a strong asset — even if you’re not coding hands-on.
• Strong understanding of agile principles, CI/CD pipelines, and team scaling practices.
• Excellent communication, conflict resolution, and stakeholder management skills.
• Fluent English (B2 or higher); experience working in a global organization is a plus.

Why you should join the SmartBear crew:

• You can grow your career at every level.
• We invest in your success as well as the spaces where our teams come together to work, collaborate, and have fun.
• We love celebrating our SmartBears; we even encourage our crew to take their birthdays off.
• We are guided by a People and Culture organization - an important distinction for us. We think about our team holistically – the whole person.
• We celebrate our differences in experiences, viewpoints, and identities because we know it leads to better outcomes.
