Engineering Manager

The Opportunity

Jeavio seeks a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead our internal technology initiatives and act as a force multiplier for the CTO's office. This role combines product leadership, people management, and operational excellence—owning the teams and platforms that power Jeavio's AI-native delivery capabilities.

You'll lead a team of engineers working on various AI initiatives. The position requires someone who can operate as both a strategic leader and hands-on manager, translating vision into execution while building and nurturing high-performing teams.
