Engineering Manager – Solutions Engineering

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Engineering Manager – Solutions Engineering based in Italy.

This role sits at the intersection of software engineering leadership, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing technical delivery. You will lead a distributed team of Python engineers focused on building and evolving infrastructure automation solutions that power large-scale systems such as private clouds, Kubernetes environments, and bare-metal operations. The work combines hands-on technical leadership with people management, requiring you to guide architecture decisions while also coaching engineers in their day-to-day growth. You will collaborate closely with operations teams and stakeholders to translate real-world infrastructure challenges into scalable, model-driven solutions. This is a highly impactful role where your leadership directly influences product direction, engineering culture, and customer success. You will operate in a globally distributed environment with strong autonomy, high expectations, and a focus on engineering excellence. The position is ideal for someone who enjoys building teams as much as building systems.
