There are NO limits to your career: come shape the future and be part of a truly unique global culture at OutSystems!

We're searching for an Engineering Manager with a strong focus on system architecture and operational excellence to take the reins of our crucial Backend Assets team. This role is about more than just management; it's about being the technical steward of the core C#/.NET framework that underpins our entire R&D operation, evolving it into a modern, robust, and scalable platform ready to integrate with and support our future AI-driven initiatives.

While we value innovation, the core mission is rock-solid reliability and performance. If you're a leader who thrives on building world-class systems, mentoring engineers, and ensuring a stable foundation for high-scale development, this position offers a massive impact.

What You Will Own: The Core Backend Foundation

• Engineering Workflow & Efficiency: Define and improve the team's development processes to maximize productivity and quality, with a focus on reducing friction and waste.
• Automation Strategy: Champion the use of sophisticated tooling and automation to handle repetitive tasks like boilerplate code generation, complex testing, and system documentation, allowing engineers to concentrate on solving novel, high-value problems.
• System Architecture & Quality: Act as the ultimate technical authority for our shared C#/.NET Core assets. Institute and enforce best practices around SOLID principles and RESTful API design, ensuring our platform is durable, performant, and maintainable.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Stewardship: Provide technical oversight for mission-critical assets deployed on AWS and managed with Kubernetes (K8s). Drive disciplined practices for security, scalability, and cost management.
• Reliable Execution & Risk Management: Lead planning and resource allocation to guarantee the timely, predictable delivery of strategic projects. Employ a systems-thinking approach to proactively identify and mitigate technical debt and operational risks.

What You Will Inspire: High-Performing People

• Purposeful Leadership: Cultivate a positive, inclusive, and focused environment designed to attract and retain top engineering talent.
• Technical Coaching: Go beyond simple check-ins. Actively mentor engineers, help them chart a clear path for professional growth, and empower them to become domain experts.
• Performance & Growth: Set clear, measurable performance objectives and conduct thorough evaluations that balance technical mastery with professional development.
• Team Advocacy: Be a dedicated advocate for the team, ensuring they have the tools, resources, and streamlined processes they need to operate at their absolute best.

What You Will Bring: The Technical & Leadership Edge

• C#/.NET Expertise (8+ Years): Expert-level coding proficiency and a deep, practical understanding of the .NET ecosystem in the context of distributed, high-throughput systems.
• System Design Experience: Proven expertise in software engineering principles, complex algorithms, data structures, and the design/operation of mission-critical distributed systems at scale.
• Hands-on Cloud Infrastructure: Direct, practical experience managing production environments using AWS and Kubernetes (K8s), including architecture, deployment, and operational best practices.
• Process Improvement Mindset: A track record of leveraging modern tooling (including familiarity with AI-assisted tools like Copilot, etc.) to fundamentally improve development velocity and code quality.
• Transformative Leadership: A strong history of mentorship, successfully guiding both the technical proficiency and the soft skills development of high-performing engineers.
• Proactive & Clear Communicator: A drive to consistently move objectives forward, paired with exceptional communication skills (written and verbal) and fluency in English.

The Longer Story:

OutSystems enables enterprise teams to build AI-powered applications and agents that reduce manual work, streamline internal operations, and accelerate impact. A proven low-code foundation combined with agentic AI and AI app generation capabilities empowers teams to move up to 10x faster with the assurance of security, scalability, and governance built in.

As the future becomes agentic, our customers need us now more than ever. AI has opened the door to extraordinary possibilities—but inside the enterprise, things are moving fast and feeling chaotic. Some early adopters are making progress in production, but for many, AI tools are sprawling without governance, data isn’t ready, and talent isn’t there yet. Enterprises are still drowning in application backlogs and struggling with legacy systems. But with the right platform, AI doesn’t have to add to the chaos. It can become the breakthrough that brings clarity—and drives real, enterprise-wide impact. At OutSystems, we’ve built that platform, providing the tools necessary for enterprises to overcome these hurdles.

We are looking for passionate, talented, and motivated people to join us in helping our customers build, deploy, and scale apps and agents—fast, helping them accelerate innovation while enabling secure, governed human-AI collaboration.

Amongst our customers are some of the world's most recognizable brands across diverse industries—brands like Toyota, Heineken, Bosch, KeyBank, and UCLA. These customers are the reason we have a 4.6 star rating on G2. Their success is ours, and their stories demonstrate tangible ROI and transformational impact. We are a 9x Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Low-Code Application Platforms and a multi-year leader in the Forrester Wave. We’re recognized not just as leaders but as visionaries with a strong ability to execute, now extending our leadership into the AI and agentic application development arena.
