- Experience with Azure cloud services, CI/CD pipelines, and Azure DevOps or similar project management tooling

Nice to have:

About this role
Nexaminds is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead their internal developer platform team from their Mexico office. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires both strong people management and active technical contribution—you'll be running sprints, conducting architecture reviews, and writing code alongside your team rather than managing from the sidelines. The position demands someone with at least six years of software engineering experience and two years managing direct reports, with demonstrated depth in platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, or backend systems.
The role centers on balancing three interconnected responsibilities: ensuring team delivery through sprint tracking and risk management, removing technical and organizational blockers, and developing your engineers through regular feedback and performance management. You'll partner with product management on capacity planning, engage with other teams to resolve dependencies, and actively drive adoption of AI-assisted development tools across the organization. Technical credibility is essential—you need enough hands-on knowledge in your domain to spot architectural risks and participate meaningfully in design decisions.
This opportunity is restricted to Mexican citizens currently residing in Mexico. Nexaminds offers stock options, flexible hours, and remote work flexibility alongside standard benefits. The company emphasizes a collaborative, trust-based culture and provides mentorship and learning opportunities for growth.
