Senior Engineering Manager – Multichannel Commerce

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential SaaS organization seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead their multichannel commerce engineering initiatives in Bordeaux. In this role, you will:

• Lead and develop two engineering squads responsible for seller experience and channel integration capabilities, ensuring reliable delivery and maintaining a high engineering standard across both teams of approximately 12 engineers
• Partner closely with Product and Design to define priorities, translate business needs into execution plans, and make strategic trade-offs that balance delivery speed, quality, and technical sustainability
• Drive the technical direction of your scope—challenging architectural choices, ensuring solutions are scalable and maintainable, and raising best practices in testing, observability, and incident management
• Develop your people through coaching engineers and tech leads, identifying growth opportunities, running performance and career conversations, and contributing to attracting strong talent
• Build a strong operating model for your teams by improving ways of working pragmatically, protecting team focus, fostering ownership, and enabling effective collaboration with distributed and international stakeholders

What We're Looking For

Required Experience:

• At least 4 to 5 years of experience managing engineering teams, with a track record of leading teams of 5 to 6 engineers or more, ideally across multiple squads
• Proven experience in e-commerce, marketplaces, channel management, feed management, catalog or order management—or a closely related domain
• A solid Java background—you may no longer be hands-on today, but you have the depth to challenge architectural decisions, assess technical trade-offs, and manage a team of Java engineers with credibility
• Demonstrated ability to deliver in a demanding and fast-moving environment while protecting team focus and adapting your management approach to the existing context
• Experience collaborating with international and cross-functional stakeholders across time zones

Essential Skills:

• Engineering leadership: ability to set direction, delegate effectively, and develop people at all levels
• Execution in complexity: capable of managing delivery, priorities, and trade-offs across multiple teams simultaneously
• Technical judgment: able to engage in Java architecture discussions, challenge integration design choices, and guide engineers on complex distributed systems
• Fluent English: able to lead discussions, challenge decisions, and collaborate autonomously with international partners (approximately 50% of working time will be in English)
• Full professional proficiency in French required

Technical Environment:

• Java (recent versions)
• Spring Framework
• SQL
• Cloud platforms
• Microservices architecture

Location: Bordeaux office with one day of remote work per week
