Engineering Manager

Paris
Engineering Manager

Department: Tech

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Paris - Office

Description

We're entering a key phase: scaling our product and engineering organization to support our rapid growth.

As our first Engineering Manager , you'll partner with Xavier (CTO & Co-founder) and Alex (Head of Engineering) to shape our engineering structure, strengthen mentorship, and help the team deliver at scale - while preserving the craftsmanship and culture that define ScorePlay.

What you'll do :
  • Manage, mentor, and support a team of 4-6 engineers.
  • Coach junior and mid-level developers through regular 1:1s, code reviews, and project check-ins.
  • Build a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and psychological safety - where engineers ask for help early and learn continuously.
  • Define career paths and growth frameworks that help your team thrive as we scale.
  • Own and continuously improve the delivery rhythm of your feature team - from scoping and design to shipping and QA.
  • Translate product goals into clear technical plans in close partnership with PMs and Design.
  • Proactively identify blockers, quality risks, and technical debt - and help the team navigate them effectively.
  • Stay close to the code: review architecture proposals, debug complex issues, and occasionally prototype or ship small fixes when it helps the team move faster.
  • Partner closely with PMs to prepare pre-planning sessions and ensure smooth, productive grooming cycles.
  • Collaborate directly with customers' technical teams on API integrations and enterprise workflows when needed.
  • Bring a technical voice into product discussions - ensuring what we build is feasible, scalable, and maintainable.
  • Design and implement the processes, rituals, and best practices that will help us scale sustainably.
  • Partner with Alex and Xavier on org design , hiring , and onboarding for future engineers.
  • Champion a clean, elegant, and scalable mindset across the teams - from code reviews to architecture decisions.
Why ScorePlay?

Here are a few signs you might love working at ScorePlay:

  • You're passionate about sports and excited to build tech that empowers clubs, athletes, and media teams to tell their stories at global scale.
  • You love turning chaos into clarity - bringing structure, mentorship, and technical excellence to fast-moving teams.
  • You want to shape how a product used by the world's top sports brands evolves , both technically and organizationally.
  • You thrive in a hands-on leadership role - close enough to the code to stay credible, but focused on helping others grow and ship better every week.
  • You're motivated by impact, autonomy, and ownership - defining what "great engineering" looks like as our first EM.
  • You want to join a profitable, fast-scaling startup where engineering feels personal, collaborative, and deeply product-driven.
  • You're drawn to international, ambitious teams (15+ nationalities, Paris ↔ New York) who care about craft, performance, and culture as much as growth.
What does an ideal candidate look like for us :
  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience, including at least 2-3 years leading people (Tech Lead or EM).
  • Strong technical foundation in backend systems - ideally Go, but we value architectural depth over language expertise.
  • Experience mentoring developers, running 1:1s, and improving team velocity and code quality.
  • Skilled at balancing technical depth with empathy and communication.
  • Excited to still be hands-on at a strategic level - reviewing, unblocking, prototyping - without being in the sprint delivery loop.
  • Experienced in a high-growth startup or scale-up (10-50 engineers) where process and structure were being built.
