Engineering Manager - PHP/AI
Established
Rotterdam
Vast
Millions of visitors a month, four platforms across three countries and an engineering team that treats AI agents as part of the daily workflow rather than an experiment. For a leading digital player in the heart of Rotterdam I am looking for an Engineering Manager who gives direction to engineers, tech leads and product owners. No micromanagement, but full ownership of execution from roadmap to release.
About the company
An informal, well-established tech organisation in the real estate sector, based in central Rotterdam. Dutch and international consumer platforms connecting house hunters with rental professionals. Short lines of communication, no politics, a lot of autonomy, and an engineering culture where AI-first working is genuinely meant. You report directly to the Head of Tech and are part of the engineering management team. The role

In practice that means: - People leadership: one-on-ones, development plans and coaching tech leads and product owners on both the technical and personal side. - Giving direction to product and engineering at the same time. You are the person who can hold a product discussion and an architecture discussion in the same conversation, and bring the whole team along on the outcome. - Steering on measurable impact: SEO, SEA and CRO, Core Web Vitals, conversion and reliability, balanced against maintenance and technical debt. - Safeguarding quality, security and scalability. Automated testing, monitoring and observability are a team responsibility here. - Taking agentic AI further. Agents that write code independently, run spikes and substantiate architectural choices are already part of daily practice. You push the boundaries and bring the teams with you. Leading by example. - Stakeholder management towards marketing, business and the board,...
