Engineering Manager / Team Lead - all genders welcome

Sykell is at the forefront of the circular economy, driving innovation in packaging systems that eliminate single-use waste. Our mission is to make reusables effortless for consumers and scalable for businesses. We work with major retailers, brands, and logistics providers to build technology that tracks, manages, and optimizes reusable packaging across supply chains.

We’re now looking for an Engineering Manager to lead one of our core development teams. This is a dual-focus role: you’ll be leading a team of engineers while also engaging directly with clients to help them implement and scale our solution. If you’re excited by clean tech, circular logistics, and building real-world systems that create environmental impact, this is the role for you.

• Own and drive development on our core platform (Go, TypeScript/React, AWS) – you make the architectural calls and you make them count.

• Continuously develop and improve our award-winning ERP system – a product making waves globally, with plenty more to build and conquer.

• Lead and mentor an international team of 3 engineers – creating an environment where people take ownership and do their best work.

• Be the technical point of contact for internal and external stakeholders – building trust on both sides.

• Collaborate closely with design, ops, and leadership to ship features that work.

• You have a proven track record of actively building and running SaaS products in production – from early stage to what happens after go-live.

• You bring deep experience in Go, TypeScript/React, and AWS – making architectural decisions and backing them up in code. Senior backend experience with Go as a primary language is a strong plus.

• You understand how systems are composed – backend, frontend, data, automations, infrastructure – and can navigate across all of them.

• You have experience leading and mentoring engineers – and you know that growing people is what makes a team truly thrive.

• You love diving in and getting things done – you build, you test, you iterate, and you thrive on seeing things come to life.

• You communicate with confidence – translating complex technical thinking into clear, compelling language for any audience, internal or external.

You’ll make our hearts sing if you’ve built ERP systems before, have a background in sustainability or the circular economy, or have worked with Flutter.

• Purpose that shows up in the real world. You’re not building another SaaS dashboard – you’re reducing plastic waste and CO₂ emissions at scale. The people here are passionate about this mission – and that shared passion is what drives this team to succeed.

• End-to-end ownership, every day. At sykell you touch the full stack, see how everything connects, and have the autonomy to shape, build and influence what you work on – and you see the results of that every single day.

• We care about the people as much as the work. Flexible hours, flexible location – because people do their best work when they feel good about how they work.

Worried you don't tick every box? We'd love to hear from you anyway – we're looking for amazing people, not perfect CVs.
