Software Engineering Manager, Area Monitoring & LPIS @ Sinergise Solutions d.o.o

Opis delovnega mesta

The Solution Enablement pillar is seeking an experienced Software Engineering Manager to lead a team of eight engineers dedicated to Planet’s Area Monitoring Service (AMS) and Land Parcel Identification Systems (LPIS) portfolios. Both areas are rooted in Planet's Area Monitoring Service (AMS) for the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) — a flagship Planet solution where satellite imagery and geospatial data help national paying agencies verify agricultural compliance at scale.

In this role, you will provide strategic leadership to ensure the successful execution of both focus areas, while fostering professional development within your team. You will partner with Technical Leads and cross-functional teams to drive operational excellence, manage dependencies, and ensure strategic alignment across government engagements. Ideal candidates are strategic leaders who can enable a team to build scalable, reusable components while navigating complex, multi-stakeholder delivery environments.

This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Ljubljana office 3 days per week.

Od kandidatov zahtevamo

- Lead a team of eight software engineers spanning two focus areas, providing unified leadership while enabling each area to deliver on its distinct commitments.
- Own the overall planning, execution, and success of multi-stakeholder delivery engagements across government contracts and pilots.
- Partner with Technical Leads to ensure sound technical direction, effective sprint execution, and well-maintained Objectives and Key Results (OKR) roadmaps by reviewing for bandwidth and priority alignment rather than driving technical decisions directly.
- Represent the team in cross-functional interactions by vetting product requirements with Product Managers, aligning priorities across the organisation, managing dependencies with other engineering leads and the Global Professional Services and Sales (GPSS) team, and supporting sales discussions where domain expertise adds value.
- Develop team members through regular performance feedback, mentoring, and coaching, fostering an environment where engineers grow in both technical depth and professional impact.
- Coordinate resource allocation and manages shifting priorities across contracts and focus areas, enabling the team to surge toward high-priority work without requiring organisational restructuring.
- Drive operational excellence across the team's services and deliverables by establishing clear accountability, monitoring delivery health, and improving how the team works.

What You Bring:
- 4+ years of industry experience in software engineering, and 2+ years of experience managing software engineering teams.
- Success leading teams of 6+ engineers, ideally across multiple workstreams or product areas.
- Experience managing delivery in a customer-facing or professional-services context, including navigating competing stakeholder priorities and contractual commitments.
- Experience partnering with Technical Leads, empowering them to own technical direction while maintaining strategic oversight and priority alignment.
- Ability to communicate technical and strategic topics in English, written and oral, including representing engineering in cross-functional and customer-facing settings.
- Experience working in cross-functional teams that put customer requirements first.
- Track record of developing engineers at various career stages - from junior to senior - through coaching, feedback, and growth-oriented management.
- Ability to be adaptable and open to changes and challenges in a dynamic, evolving organisation.

What Makes You Stand Out:
- Experience with geospatial technologies, remote sensing, or earth observation.
- Familiarity with the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), agricultural monitoring, or land parcel management systems.
- Experience leading teams through organisational change, including evolving team structures and management models.
- Experience with Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) and facilitating delivery processes across multiple workstreams.
- Experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tools and practices (e.g., GitLab CI/CD, Docker).
- Background in managing forward-deployed or solutions-oriented engineering teams that work directly with government or institutional customers.

Kandidatom ponujamo

- Company-wide days off
- Employee Wellness Program
- Home Office Reimbursement
- Monthly Phone and Internet Reimbursement
- Tuition Reimbursement and access to LinkedIn Learning
- Equity
- Volunteering Paid Time Off

O podjetju

Sinergise is a Slovenian IT company with extensive expertise in developing advanced geospatial information systems based on cloud and web technology, focusing to fields where it is creating the highest impact:
- Earth Observation, making it easy for individuals, institutions and value-adders to get actionable insights in what is happening with our Planet;
- IT processes in Agriculture, ensuring more efficient use of the resources while ensuring sustainability of the ecosystem;
- Land Administration processes, which are essential for transparency of the government and economic growth.

Since our establishment in 2008, we have successfully completed several country-scale projects in Europe and Africa. Using these experiences, we developed and launched Sentinel Hub, an award-winning satellite imagery service, which powers Earth observation applications world-wide. We process hundreds of millions of requests every month, crunching close to 50 PB of data coming from Sentinel, Landsat, Planet, Pleiades, WorldView and other satellites.

In 2023 we joined forces with Planet Labs PBC with the common mission to enable easier access to geospatial data and make change visible, accessible and actionable.

Zakaj bi želel delati za vas

Our world is constantly changing and the effects of our fast paced life are ever more apparent. There is a large demand for the continuous monitoring of the ecosystem changes at a large scale.
Our mission is to innovate, to break the mold, to create something that is both an engineering feat, and has a positive impact on our society by communicating how the planet is changing due to climate change and the impact people have in this regard. We can accomplish this by bringing together great individuals who believe in what they do.

We believe that great teams are built on common goals, vision and shared values, and we believe we can only bring value to our clients, if we are also committed to creating a world-class work environment for our employees, that extends beyond competitive salaries, benefits and perks.
