Tacton builds software that the world’s largest manufacturing companies depend on to sell and deliver their most complex products. Our engineering organization is entering a new chapter: we’re broadening our product through acquisitions and organic development, changing how we build software by scaling through smaller long-lived teams, and putting AI agents to work across the development process. We’re now looking for an Engineering Manager to help drive this change — a people leadership role for someone who hasn’t stopped being an engineer at heart. What You’ll Do

Lead and grow the people

· Own teams. Take responsibility for up to ~15 engineers, manage performance, growth and wellbeing. · Coach and develop. Run high-quality 1:1s and genuinely help move careers forward. · Set the tone. Build a culture where engineers feel safe, trusted and motivated to do their best work. Own delivery, end to end

· Ship reliably. Support your teams in delivering high-quality software, balancing technical excellence and time to market. · Push ownership outward. Help drive the shift to teams owning their software all the way to production. · Connect the dots. Work closely with R&D, Product Management and other stakeholders to stay aligned. Help lead the transformation

· Change how we work. Be a key contributor to Tacton’s organizational vision and ways of working in the emerging world of AI-native software development. What We’re Looking For

· Proven experience leading 10+ engineers, with the full spectrum of people management: hiring, coaching, performance, career development. · A genuine technical background, able to engage credibly with engineers. · Experience driving real organizational change in engineering teams, not just observing it. · Practical experience with AI in software engineering, at both developer and leadership level. · Experience from companies of comparable scale to Tacton — navigating complexity without big-enterprise resources. · Strategic and business-minded, comfortable making trade-offs in ambiguous situations. · A deeply technical product combining symbolic AI and LLM AI with a rich enterprise-grade SaaS platform. · A strong engineering culture that invests in developer experience and modern ways of working. Benefits

· Flexible hybrid setup – 3x a week at the office. · 33 days of paid time off – 30 vacation days plus 3 extra. · Premium occupational pension – beyond ITP1, with higher contributions by age and salary. · Generous wellness allowance – 5,000 SEK annually. · Private healthcare insurance – quick access to specialist care. · Parental leave top-up – up to 90% of base salary for up to 6 months. · Weekly treats – Fika one week, breakfast the next.
