We work smart and we work hard. We are DevriX.

About the Company

DevriX is hiring a Senior Engineering Manager with EST availability to nurture and grow our in-house engineering team in Sofia while navigating strategic R&D initiatives for key customers.

You will lead and grow cross-functional teams, build scalable systems, and ensure stellar delivery for high-ticket B2B clients.
