Engineering Manager – Delivery & AI Enablement
About Formality
The management of physical assets (buildings, solar power plants, data centers, etc.) still relies
largely on manual, fragmented, and costly processes, which hinder liquidity and
mask risks.
Formality was created to address this impasse.
Formality is a SaaS platform for Asset Intelligence that natively connects contracts,
entities, and assets to produce reliable and actionable intelligence, continuously.
Thanks to specialized and auditable AI, teams transition from a reactive model to a
proactive governance of commitments, risks, and performance.
Formality does not replace human expertise: it refocuses it on control, decision-making, and
value creation throughout the asset lifecycle.

As an Engineering Manager – Delivery & AI Enablement, you are responsible for the human and operational performance of the Builders team. Your role sits at the intersection of management, product delivery, business understanding, and technical tooling.
