Job Description

Artificial Intelligence. Actual Impact.

At Docebo, AI isn’t just a buzzword — it’s how we help teams move faster, perform better, and focus on the work that actually matters. Our learning platform is built with smart, time-saving tools that personalize training, cut the busywork, and make learning feel like less of a chore (and more of a superpower).

We’re building the future of learning, and we’re doing it with a team that loves to challenge the status quo. If you're excited by the idea of using AI to make work-life better for real people — not just in theory — you're in the right place.

Still thinking it over? At Docebo, values aren’t just posters on the wall — they show up in how we work every day. We lead with what we call the Docebo Heart: we trust each other, assume positive intent, and make space for the differences that make our team stronger. 

So… what are you waiting for? Join 900+ Docebians around the world and help us reinvent the way people learn.

About This Opportunity:
The Engineering Manager (EM) plays a pivotal role in enabling technical teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and high-quality software. As a manager of engineers, this role blends people leadership, delivery coordination, architectural oversight, and cross-functional alignment. While the EM is not expected to contribute code regularly, technical credibility, decision-making support, and guidance on delivery quality are critical to success. This role is foundational in our management career track and builds directly on experience gained from the Tech Lead role. It focuses on growing teams, sustaining high-quality delivery, and creating the conditions for engineers to thrive. The role will manage one of the extraction teams responsible for decommissioning part of a monolith service to many microservices in Golang, and later manage the development of new functionalities using Docebo's stack.

Reports to: Seniro Mananger, Engineering Programs
Location: Biassono or Milan, Italy

To help our teams work together effectively, this role requires you to be located in Lombardy, Italy.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead a high-performing engineering team through clear goal setting, structured accountability, and continuous support.
  • Coordinate delivery across the full SDLC, ensuring that requirements are clear, processes are efficient, and releases are reliable.
  • Guide architectural decisions and technical direction at a high level—without owning the code—ensuring decisions align with business needs and long-term sustainability.

  • Facilitate cross-functional collaboration with Product, Design, Support, Presales, Professional Services, and other departments to ensure alignment and delivery of customer value.
  • Engage in customer-facing interactions as needed—supporting escalation management, contributing to technical product discussions, and participating in technical interviews.
  • Influence product direction by collaborating with product managers on technically complex areas, validating assumptions, and co-shaping requirements.
  • Own the integrity, accuracy, and trustworthiness of engineering metrics, ensuring visibility, actionability, and alignment with business goals.
  • Maintain clarity of team direction, ensuring that everyone—internal and external to the team—is consistently aware of the squad's next 4 months of priorities and commitments.
  • Relentlessly make work visible, promoting transparency in progress, blockers, decisions, and ownership across all activities.
  • Manage performance expectations and contribute to evaluations using clear indicators and feedback loops.
  • Lead by learning, actively engaging in continuous development via reading, structured training, and peer feedback.

    • Requirements:

  • Minimum of 3 years of equivalent position and 5+ years in software development

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of building rapport with diverse teams and stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage and track project budgets and timelines, ensuring that engineering deliverables meet both quality and cost expectations.

    • Preferred Requirements:

  • Proficiency in both backend and frontend development using technologies in our stack such as PHP, Typescript, Go, Angular, React, MySQL/PostgreSQL, AWS.
