Job Description

Intellibus is a boutique engineering and consulting firm focused on building and modernizing mission-critical platforms for highly regulated industries. We are hands-on builders, our leaders are expected to roll up their sleeves, guide engineering teams, and deliver outcomes, not just manage status.

We are looking for a Senior Manager – Engineering Delivery to lead multiple engineering squads, provide technical and architectural direction, and ensure high-quality delivery of complex Java-based platforms.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who comes from a strong Java engineering background, has grown into technical leadership and architecture, and has deep experience delivering in consulting environments.

As a Senior Manager – Engineering Delivery, you will:

• Lead and oversee multiple engineering squads
• Provide hands-on technical guidance and architectural oversight
• Ensure delivery quality, performance, stability, and scalability
• Mentor engineers and tech leads
• Act as the bridge between business goals and engineering execution

You will be accountable for delivery outcomes, technical direction, and team performance across complex, enterprise-grade systems.

• Lead multiple engineering squads delivering Java-based platforms
• Review and guide architecture, design patterns, and code quality
• Support engineers with complex technical problem-solving
• Drive best practices in development, testing, deployment, and monitoring
• Provide architectural guidance for scalable, secure, and high-performance systems
• Review integration patterns, APIs, and data flows
• Support modernization and legacy-to-cloud migration initiatives
• Ensure systems meet non-functional requirements (performance, reliability, security)
• Operate in a consulting environment with tight deadlines and changing priorities
• Translate business requirements into technical execution plans
• Communicate clearly with stakeholders while keeping teams focused on delivery
• Support pre-delivery planning, scoping, and execution readiness
• Mentor senior engineers and emerging tech leads
• Promote engineering excellence, automation, and CI/CD practices
• Identify risks early and drive mitigation plans
• Build strong delivery culture and accountability

• Required Experience
• 15+ years in software engineering, with strong hands-on Java background
• Proven progression from Engineer → Tech Lead → Architect → Delivery Leader
• Deep experience in consulting or professional services environments
• Strong knowledge of:
• Java, Spring, REST APIs, microservices
• Unix/Linux environments
• JavaScript (for full-stack awareness and integration)
• Experience with:
• Distributed systems
• Legacy modernization and cloud migration
• CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
• Track record of leading multiple squads and senior engineers

What We’re Looking For (Profile)

This role is ideal for someone who is:

• A former strong Java engineer who still understands code and architecture deeply
• Comfortable making technical decisions and trade-offs
• Experienced in high-pressure consulting delivery environments
• Respected by engineers and credible with leadership
• Able to move between strategy, architecture, and day-to-day execution

This is not:

• A PMO role
• A people-only management role

This is a true engineering delivery leadership role.
