An international software company is looking for an Engineering Manager. The selected applicant will be responsible for leading the Korea engineering team to deliver defense-grade software while driving technical excellence and cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities:

• Lead, grow, and mentor a team of software engineers in Seoul, including hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development
• Build a high-performing team culture that combines mission focus with engineering rigor
• Own the Korea team's roadmap in close partnership with U.S. product and engineering leadership
• Translate priorities into executable plans and deliver on schedule
• Operate the team as a fully integrated extension of the global engineering organisation
• Drive architecture and design reviews while making sound trade-off decisions for defense-grade system design
• Champion engineering best practices, including CI/CD, testing, code reviews, and documentation
• Partner with U.S. product managers, engineering leads, and adjacent Korea teams on shared deliverables
• Represent the engineering team in technical customer discussions

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• More than 8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in an engineering management or team lead role managing a team of 3+ engineers
• Hands-on technical background in one or more of: autonomy systems, simulation, AI/ML infrastructure, robotics, unmanned systems, embedded systems, or defense-grade software
• Strong proficiency in Python, C++, or similar; familiarity with AI/ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and their application in autonomous or perception systems
• Experience operating in an agile, high-frequency release cycle with strong engineering discipline (CI/CD, testing, code review)
• Native level Korean; proficient in English

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience leading engineering teams that built simulation platforms, ML training infrastructure, or developer tooling for robotics, autonomy, or defense
• Familiarity with reinforcement learning frameworks and/or simulation engines
• Experience delivering software in closed-network / air-gapped deployment environments common in defense
• Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing workflows and software-hardware integration
• Domain familiarity with UAVs, unmanned systems, ATR, drone swarming, path planning, or aerospace control systems — as a context for tool design, not as an IC requirement
