Engineering Manager – 6-Month Contract

Auckland – North Shore | Immediate start | Potential long-term opportunity

The opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join a well-established global software organisation on an initial six-month contract.

You will lead a cross-functional product engineering team of approximately five to six engineers, working closely with Product Owners and shared design resources. This is a genuine people leadership and delivery role, but a strong technical background is important you will need to understand what is happening within the team, guide technical conversations, and support the resolution of production issues.

There is an immediate need for someone who can quickly build relationships, provide stability, and keep the team moving forward. While this begins as a contract, there may be an opportunity for the role to become permanent.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading, coaching, and developing a team of software engineers

• Driving the delivery and ongoing development of the team

• You will work within a modern software product environment

• Working closely with Product Owners and other business stakeholders

• Supporting effective sprint planning, prioritisation, and delivery

• Encouraging strong Agile and Scrum practices across the team

• Helping the team break work into manageable pieces and move away from waterfall-style delivery

• Identifying opportunities to improve engineering processes and team performance

• Supporting technical discussions and providing guidance when required

• Assisting the team with incident management and resolving production issues

• Removing blockers and ensuring risks are identified and communicated early

• Creating a positive, accountable, and collaborative team environment

What we’re looking for

You will be an established Engineering Manager who has successfully led software engineering teams.

Ideally, you will bring:

• Previous experience managing and developing software engineers

• Knowledge of multiple technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, HTML5, Bootstrap, Angular, C# or SQL Server

• A strong background in software or web development

• Hands-on experience with .NET and C# development

• Experience leading cross-functional product engineering teams

• A solid understanding of modern software engineering practices

• Strong Agile and Scrum experience, with the ability to apply these practices effectively

• Experience driving delivery, change, and continuous improvement

• The technical credibility to guide conversations and support incident resolution

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

• A practical and collaborative leadership style

• The ability to step into a new environment and become effective quickly

Recent hands-on development experience would be beneficial, although the role will primarily focus on people leadership, team development, and delivery.
