We are looking for a hands-on Business Unit Manager who will lead across multiple development teams. The ideal candidate is a senior engineer or technical lead who can take ownership of delivery, technical direction, and team health, while remaining deeply involved in day-to-day engineering work. People leadership and business ownership are important parts of the role, but the core focus is technical execution, engineering excellence, and enabling teams to build high-quality solutions.

Responsibilities

• Actively design, build, and review production code alongside your teams - this is a working technical role, not an oversight-only position
• Own technical and key engineering decisions across the unit's projects, including cloud infrastructure on Azure
• Provide hands-on technical mentorship: pair programming, code reviews, design reviews, and unblocking developers on hard problems
• Oversee project delivery, ensuring technical quality, timelines, and customer satisfaction
• Manage the day-to-day leadership - performance, growth and team health
• Coordinate with clients and stakeholders on technical scope, feasibility, and delivery commitments
• Monitor business unit performance and report to senior leadership - a smaller part of the role, handled in parallel with technical work

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of hands-on software development experience, including recent, active coding (not purely architectural or oversight roles)
• Strong experience with Java/Spring Boot on the backend and at least one of Angular, React, or Vue on the frontend
• Experience leading or mentoring developers technically - tech lead, staff engineer, or similar track record
• Comfort owning architecture decisions and being the final technical authority for a unit's projects
• Fluency in Greek and English, written and verbal

Nice to have:

• Experience with Azure cloud services (AKS, App Services, Azure DevOps, etc.) in production environments
• Experience managing or leading multiple teams simultaneously
• Background in systems integration, digital transformation, or enterprise software projects
• Domain experience in public sector, banking, telecoms, or energy

Benefits

• Career development and growth opportunities
• An amazing private & open-office workspace in Athens
• Medical plan and life insurance for you and your family
• Flexible hybrid working model, working both from the office & remote
• Continuous training & learning opportunities via personalized seminars
• The opportunity to work in a diverse environment with talented colleagues
