About the Company
Dizzaract is a product-driven company operating at the intersection of gaming, digital platforms, and AI.
We build and scale multiple products, including FAR Labs & Gamed, each exploring a different space, yet united by a shared approach: moving fast, staying curious, and focusing on things that people actually use.
We operate as a collaborative, non-hierarchical team where ideas are valued based on their impact, not their origin, and where AI is embedded across everything we build, from infrastructure to product decisions.
About the Role
FAR Labs is building an AI-native engineering organisation where AI is embedded into how we design, build, test, and operate products.
You’ll help define what a high-performing engineering team looks like when every engineer is deeply AI-enabled and continuously improve how we work as these tools evolve.
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to strengthen the FAR Labs engineering organisation and work directly with our CTO & Co-Founder.
This role sits between engineering, product, and business. You will own the day-to-day effectiveness of the engineering organisation: team structure, delivery, engineering processes, performance management, hiring, and development of the team.
Your role is to make sure the engineering organisation executes around that direction effectively with clear ownership, strong teams, predictable delivery, and high engineering standards.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands technology deeply, can challenge senior engineers and technical leads, and knows how to build an engineering environment where people perform and grow.
Responsibilities
- Lead, coach, and develop engineers and engineering leads across FAR Labs, creating a culture of ownership, accountability, transparency, and high performance.
- Structure engineering into effective teams based on products, technical domains, priorities, and available capacity.
- Own engineering execution across projects and releases, track progress, blockers, dependencies, risks, and timelines, and ensure leadership has clear visibility into delivery.
- Build and continuously improve planning, estimation, development, code review, testing, release, retrospective, and incident-management processes.
- Identify bottlenecks affecting engineering velocity and systematically remove them while maintaining strong quality and reliability standards.
- Own regular 1:1s, performance reviews, development plans, feedback cycles, performance improvement, and career development across the engineering organisation.
- Partner with the CTO and People team on workforce planning, hiring, interviewing, onboarding, performance management, and offboarding.
- Work closely with Product and Business teams to translate priorities into engineering plans and make sure engineers understand both what they are building and why.
- Partner with the CTO and technical leads to maintain strong standards around architecture, code quality, scalability, security, reliability, technical debt, and maintainability.
- Ensure strong engineering practices around CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, observability, incident response, and production reliability.
- Introduce and track meaningful metrics around delivery, quality, reliability, capacity, and engineering performance.
Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience.
- 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams in a technology company.
- Previous experience managing Senior Engineers, Tech Leads, or multiple engineering teams.
- Strong technical background with solid understanding of modern software architecture, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and system reliability.
- Proven experience building or improving engineering processes and team structures.
- Strong experience managing software delivery from planning through production.
- Experience with hiring, onboarding, performance management, employee development, and difficult performance decisions.
- Ability to manage technical debt while balancing short-term product priorities with long-term engineering quality.
- Strong understanding of Agile software development principles and modern engineering practices.
- Experience working closely with Product, Business, and other cross-functional stakeholders.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to make decisions in fast-moving environments.
- Experience scaling an engineering organisation or building engineering processes in a startup or scale-up environment is a strong plus.
Qualifications
- Experience providing technical support in a SaaS or cloud-based environment is required.
- Proficiency with ticketing systems and CRM tools for issue tracking and resolution is required.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English are required.
- Ability to troubleshoot technical issues across multiple operating systems and platforms is required.
- Experience with debugging tools and log analysis for issue resolution is preferred.
