Direct message the job poster from PALO IT

Talent Acquisition Lead @ PALO IT | IHRP-CP | Technical Recruitment

Who We Are

We are a global technology consultancy with a trademarked, AI-first engineering approach for accelerating the delivery of digital products and revolutionizing platform modernization. We do the right thing, and we do it right. We're proud to be a World Economic Forum New Champion, and a B Corp-certified company.

About Gen-e2

While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First. Our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality:

  • We now generate 95% of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design — with GitHub Copilot.
  • The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.
  • A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.
  • A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability.

With Gen-e2, we deliver end-to-end products 2–3× faster than traditional approaches, while raising the bar for engineering excellence.

Your Role

As an Engineering Manager at PALO IT, you will lead high-impact, AI-driven engineering initiatives from discovery to delivery. You'll be accountable for technical excellence, team capability growth, and client success, ensuring every project aligns with Gen-e2 speed-to-impact model.

You will:

  • Lead multi-disciplinary engineering and product teams delivering AI-driven, cloud-native, and DevSecOps-enabled solutions at scale.
  • Shape technical strategy — guiding clients through transformative adoption of fully AI-driven delivery models.
  • Conduct technical analysis, define solution architectures, and facilitate client workshops to define project technical approaches.
  • Implement Gen-e2 best practices — from product repository artefacts to AI prompt libraries for coding standards, architecture, and security compliance.
  • Upskill and coach client teams in Gen-e2 — enabling them to adopt AI-driven ways of working and embed them in their culture.
  • Guide organisations in scaling Gen-e2 — creating strategies and frameworks for enterprise-wide adoption.
  • Drive productivity and quality — leveraging AI to generate the majority of artefacts while enforcing rigorous review and validation processes.
  • Foster AI-first engineering culture — mentoring teams to master AI-first ways of working across research, design, prototyping, backlog creation and code generation.
  • Continuously experiment to practices and improve our delivery approach — leveraging the latest AI capabilities, tools, and patterns to push the boundaries of product engineering.
  • Engage stakeholders — ensuring that we deliver at least 50% faster than client's expectations.

What You Bring

  • Proven leadership in engineering or technical consulting roles, ideally in cloud-native, DevOps, and AI-driven environments.
  • Strong background in software engineering, systems design, and architecture.
  • Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants (e.g. GitHub Copilot) and prompt engineering best practices.
  • Passion for AI in product engineering and a drive to continuously reinvent how we deliver products by harnessing the latest AI capabilities.
  • Expertise in AWS or Azure, serverless architectures, and container orchestration.
  • Mastery of DevOps practices: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automation, and observability.
  • Experience coaching and developing engineering teams in high-performance, agile environments.
  • Experience training and enabling client teams in new delivery models or methodologies.
  • Ability to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes and deliver business-aligned technical solutions.
  • Familiarity with enterprise-scale toolchains (Atlassian suite, Azure DevOps, GitHub) and platform migrations.
  • A mindset that thrives in innovation, ambiguity, and change.

Why Join Us?

  • AI-driven delivery culture — with AI underpinning most of what we deliver.
  • Stimulating and collaborative work environments.
  • International mobility and cross-office opportunities.
  • Internal R&D projects and innovation labs.
  • Knowledge-sharing culture and personalised training paths.
