About the Opportunity

We are looking for an Engineering Manager (f/m/d) to lead one of Contentful’s highly leveraged platform teams: Workflows.

This team owns Contentful’s Orchestration Platform — the workflow + automation engine behind approvals, tasks, triggers, and action execution.

This is a high-impact role: your work will accelerate many product teams and improve the foundation customers rely on every day.

What to expect?

In this role you’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business to understand strategy and goals, and collaborate with internal teams and external partners to keep our architecture, tech stack, and development practices aligned to deliver impact.

  • Build and support high-performing, globally distributed teams, with a culture of collaboration, ownership, and continuous improvement.
  • Partner closely with Product and Design to shape and deliver the roadmap for UI Foundations and Workflows, balancing near-term needs with long-term platform health.
  • Enable platform adoption across teams through clear interfaces, documentation, migration support, and predictable release practices.
  • Evolve the orchestration platform (workflow APIs, execution semantics, integrations/actions, reliability/observability) to support approvals, tasks, triggers, and automation at scale.
  • Strengthen operational practices with healthy on-call/support models, incident response, post-incident learning, and measurable reliability improvements.
  • Coach and develop engineers across levels, supporting growth, feedback, and sustainable delivery habits.
