Engineering Manager driving predictable delivery and team growth. 5+ years leading distributed backend teams on high-traffic platforms.
PolandWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Engineering Manager with nearly 10 years of experience across backend and full-stack engineering, including 5+ years leading product-focused teams. I specialize in delivery, hands-on technical leadership, and pragmatic AI adoption to improve engineering efficiency and predictability.
At eToro, I led cross-team delivery of company-wide initiatives such as Dark Mode rollout and Home Page redesign. I coordinated multiple product domains and backend dependencies across a large-scale consumer platform handling millions of requests daily.
I improved engineering delivery efficiency by ~20% by introducing pragmatic AI usage in planning, work decomposition, and development workflows—while maintaining quality and reliability. I also rebuilt an underperforming team by introducing clear ownership (RACI), improving collaboration, and restoring delivery predictability.
Before that, at EPAM and Intellias, I owned end-to-end delivery across planning, dependencies, releases, and stakeholder coordination, while providing technical leadership on microservices architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and production releases. I bring a consistent approach: align teams with clear ownership, measure outcomes with business metrics, and mentor engineers for sustainable growth.
