Engineering Manager - Onomondo

Engineering Manager

Onomondo is on a mission to revolutionize global IoT connectivity. We're here to redefine how connected devices communicate, and we need great engineering leaders to help us push the boundaries of what's possible. Our work directly impacts millions of devices globally, ensuring seamless, low-latency, and highly available connectivity for mission-critical applications. Our services enable secure authentication, signalling, and messaging for devices using Onomondo SIM cards, across 680+ networks in 180+ countries.

We are now hiring an Engineering Manager for our Platform Engineering Team at our HQ in Islands Brygge.

The Platform Engineering team is an essential part of our technology foundation, focused on empowering engineers by creating self-service infrastructure and tooling "paved roads" that make the right path the easy path. You'll be leading a team at the intersection of infrastructure and developer experience, driving our cloud architecture, Kubernetes operations, observability, and CI/CD.

What you'll be doing

You'll be leading our Platform Engineering team. A team of curious tinkerers who love getting their hands dirty with Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and networking rabbit holes.

Leading and growing the team:

• Foster a culture where collaboration, ownership, and continuous learning thrive

• Coach and develop engineers through regular 1:1s, constructive feedback, and creating space for professional growth

• Build an inclusive environment where people feel trusted to do what they do best

• Balance empowering autonomy with maintaining best practices across the platform

Staying technical (because you can't help yourself):

• Collaborate and drive in the ideation and implementation of technical solutions—you're hands-on enough to understand the implications and dive in when needed

• Guide the transformation of our telecom infrastructure to cloud-native patterns

• Champion observability, reliability, and automation across the stack

• Help the team navigate trade-offs between pragmatic delivery and long-term scalability

Partnering and planning:

• Work closely with other engineering leaders and Product to align on priorities and ensure the platform enables product delivery

• Facilitate effective planning and delivery, keeping stakeholders informed without drowning them in details

• Support the team in balancing short-term needs with long-term platform evolution

What you bring

The technical foundation:

• 3+ years leading software/platform engineering teams in cloud-native environments

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, cloud providers like AWS, and infrastructure as code (Terraform/Ansible)

• Understanding of CI/CD, monitoring, and observability (we use Prometheus, Grafana, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions)

• Background in building scalable, highly available systems

• Experience with scripting/automation (Node.js, Bash, Go, Python—whatever gets the job done)

• Bonus: Networking concepts, protocols, and/or telecom experience (if BGP, VPNs, or routing makes you genuinely curious, we want to talk)
  

The leadership approach:

• You're technically curious and like to dive deep when needed, but you know when to step back and let your team run with things

• You balance a laid-back demeanour with an aspiring mindset—calm under pressure, but always pushing for better

• You lead with curiosity and kindness, creating psychological safety while maintaining high standards

• You have a tinkering mentality—you enjoy figuring out how things work and helping others do the same

• Strong communicator who can translate complex technical concepts without the jargon overload

• You care about solving real problems and understand that the best solution is often the simplest one that works

Location:

• Based in Copenhagen (you must be based here currently, within a commutable distance of Islands Brygge)

Why join Onomondo?

The technical playground: We're not exaggerating when we say you'll work on stuff that's genuinely interesting. Running telecom workloads on Kubernetes? Check. Building SoftSIMs that run in software? Check. Enabling global IoT connectivity at scale? Check. This isn't your typical CRUD app on AWS—it's technical challenges that have lots of room for innovation

The culture:

• A playful, ambitious environment where tinkering is encouraged and curiosity is rewarded

• A diverse team where your fingerprints will be on everything we build

• Trust and autonomy—we hire smart people and let them do smart things

• A 2000 sqm HQ in Islands Brygge that's one-of-a-kind in design and energy

• We don't need your picture or cover letter—just your CV

• We select candidates based on skills and relevant experience

• We're fast but thoughtful—you'll feel informed, respected, and excited throughout
