Giulio Grasso
I help engineering teams become autonomous and reliable without burnout.
Currently open to Engineering Manager roles (NL / Remote EU).
I’m a people-first Engineering Manager with 20+ years in software.
I am currently looking for a full-time Engineering Manager position where I can lead teams long-term and grow with the organization.
I started as a frontend engineer and moved into leadership roles where I could multiply impact instead of just shipping features myself.
Most recently I worked as Developer Experience Manager at Shareforce, scaling engineering from 4 to 15 developers and reducing onboarding time by ~40%.
I’ve led distributed teams across Europe, Africa, and Asia, aligning product and engineering around predictable delivery and quality.
Reduced friction across the development lifecycle and improved team throughput. I identified bottlenecks in onboarding, tooling, documentation, and cross-team dependencies. Introduced structured onboarding, clarified ownership, improved CI/CD flow, and removed unnecessary rituals. Result: faster ramp-up, fewer blocked PRs, clearer priorities, and measurable throughput increase without adding process overhead
Moved teams from reactive chaos to predictable delivery. Reworked planning discipline, enforced real prioritization, and introduced a consistent sprint cadence with visible metrics. Aligned product and engineering around outcomes instead of urgency-driven noise. Result: stable release rhythm, improved predictability, reduced last-minute surprises, and higher stakeholder trust.
If you’re looking for an Engineering Manager who combines delivery discipline with calm leadership, I’d be happy to connect.
I’m particularly interested in long-term roles where I can help teams grow, stabilize execution, and build trust between product and engineering.
