About Diogo Oliveira

Engineering Manager at GetYourGuide

I’m an Engineering Manager who cares deeply about how people grow, lead, and work together. Over the past several years, I’ve been managing engineering teams across different companies and contexts, helping turn complex technical problems into products that deliver real value.

What motivates me most isn’t just shipping software - it’s supporting people at pivotal moments in their careers. I’ve worked closely with engineers and managers navigating growth, uncertainty, and transition, and I’ve seen how the right guidance can unlock confidence and long-term impact.

I particularly enjoy mentoring:

Engineers who want to grow their careers - whether that’s increasing impact, preparing for promotion, or finding clarity in their next step

New and aspiring Engineering Managers - particularly those transitioning from IC roles and learning how to lead people, not just systems

I believe effective engineering leadership is about empathy, clarity, and intentional communication. The best teams aren’t built by process alone, but by leaders who create trust, set direction, and help others do their best work.

My goal as a mentor is to be a thoughtful sounding board - helping people reflect, make sense of challenges, and grow into roles they can thrive in.
