Technical Engineering Manager

Nexaminds is looking for a Technical Engineering Manager to support a team of engineers within a large-scale modernization program. The ideal candidate has experience leading highly senior engineering teams in AI-assisted development environments, coordinating complex technical initiatives, and driving execution across multiple parallel workstreams. This role combines people leadership, program management, and technical engagement, with responsibility for team health, delivery visibility, dependency management, and cross-functional alignment while partnering closely with engineering leadership to ensure successful program execution.

Location: MEXICO

Qualifications we are looking for:

• 5+ years of engineering experience, including at least 2 years in an engineering management role
• Experience managing senior engineers — you know that leading a principal-level team is less about technical direction and more about creating the conditions for them to do their best work
• Strong program coordination skills — comfortable tracking dependencies, managing competing priorities, and keeping multiple workstreams moving simultaneously
• Enough technical depth to understand what your teams are building, participate in technical conversations, and contribute hands-on when needed
• Clear communicator who can translate between engineering teams and senior leadership without losing fidelity in either direction
• Comfortable in a remote, distributed environment with a high degree of autonomy

Nice to have:

• Background in .NET / C#, Azure, or distributed systems
• Experience on a modernization, migration, or decomposition program
• HCM domain experience

Job duties:

• Support, develop, and retain a team of approximately 10 principal-level engineers, running effective 1:1s and providing meaningful career growth feedback.

• Own team health by proactively identifying burnout risks, interpersonal friction, or engagement issues early.

• Partner with the Senior Director on hiring, onboarding, and overall team composition decisions.

• Maintain delivery visibility across your domain teams, tracking dependencies, blockers, sequencing risks, and cross-team coordination.

• Serve as a coordination layer between teams, surfacing issues to senior leadership before they become program-level problems.

• Help teams stay aligned with program standards, including paved road architecture, AI development practices, Terraform IaC, and event schema governance.

• Facilitate team rituals and proactively remove organizational friction so engineers can stay focused on execution.

• Contribute directly to delivery where skills and bandwidth allow, including code reviews, technical feedback, tooling, documentation, or implementation support.

• Stay close to the technical work to have informed, grounded conversations with engineers and directors about project realitie
