Engineering Director

At Idego , you'll join a ~100-person team of experienced problem solvers building real products across Cloud, Data & AI, and Software Development . The environment is genuinely AI-oriented - modern tech applied to real business problems, not chasing shiny trends. If you naturally connect the dots across tools, systems, and ideas, and you're someone who stays curious and takes ownership, this is the kind of place where that's noticed and valued. On the culture side, things stay simple. Autonomy, common sense, zero micromanagement. No unnecessary corporate layers, no "let's look busy" theatre - just smart people working together and building things well. The remote-friendly setup has been in place for years, so flexibility, trust, and healthy collaboration aren't perks - they're simply how Idego operates. Modern tech, AI-driven thinking, meaningful projects - and a work culture built around trust, growth, and getting things done properly.
