Comstruct, the platform transforming materials procurement for construction companies, is driving the shift to digital and automated processes. We're looking for exceptional talent to help us empower the industry with smarter, more efficient solutions. We are looking for a full time Engineering Manager to join our Application team. As part of our team, your role is to build a high-performing, motivated team while staying close to the work. You're not a distant people manager — you're deeply embedded, helping engineers do their best work, ensuring the team is aligned and unblocked, and making sure we’re delivering the right things in the right way. You’ll wear multiple hats: coach, unblocker, collaborator, and steward of team health. While you may not write production code daily, you should have a strong enough technical foundation to ask sharp questions, support architectural conversations, and recognize great engineering judgment. As a hybrid company, we value in-person collaboration and expect employees to work from our Munich office 3 days a week. What you will be building ️ Team Health & Growth Create an environment where engineers are engaged, growing, and supported Run 1:1s, give regular feedback, and help define growth paths for each engineer Support hiring, onboarding, and performance conversations — thoughtfully and humanely. Execution & Delivery Ensure the team delivers high-quality work at a sustainable pace Help break down complex projects into clear scopes, and keep them moving forward Spot risks early, communicate proactively, and remove blockers wherever possible. Technical Awareness (Not Day-to-Day Coding) Participate in architecture and technical planning conversations Act as a sounding board for engineers and tech leads Ensure we’re balancing technical debt, quality, and product goals effectively. Product & Stakeholder Alignment Collaborate closely with product managers to shape roadmaps, define priorities, and translate product ideas into actionable engineering plans. Make sure engineers have the context they need to make good decisions. Act as a communication bridge between engineers and the rest of the company. What you need to succeed ✨ A background in software engineering — ideally having shipped complex features or systems yourself, in particular with TypeScript/React/NestJS Experience developing engineers across multiple seniority levels (mentorship, informal team leadership, or previous management) Strong communication and organizational skills — you’re calm and structured under pressure and can bring clarity when things get fuzzy A genuine interest in people — you’re not here to "manage resources"; you care about humans doing great work. Why us To build the technical foundation of such an important industry, we rely on an outstanding team of A-players across all domains. Working together with humble, pragmatic, and output-oriented people who actively pursue their visions guarantees a steep personal as well as professional learning curve. Flat hierarchies, a fail-fast mentality, and product obsession Freedom to take over responsibility and to shape your own role/career Individual Development Budgets e.g., for certificates, conferences, or books A very competitive Salary & substantial ESOP Müsli Bar and fruits & free drinks and dinner Regular Team Events, Wellpass subscription, workations, offsites and business trips in Germany and Switzerland About comstruct comstruct is a young construction tech startup founded in March 2022.
