Engineering Manager

YOUR MISSION

As Engineering Manager at the company, you will lead a team of full stack engineers while staying deeply hands-on: you'll spend 60–80% of your time coding, reviewing, and shaping the architecture alongside your team. You are the kind of leader who elevates a team by example — writing code that sets the bar, and building an environment where great engineers do their best work.

Your mission might include

• Leading a team of full stack and AI/ML engineers: coaching, regular 1:1s, growth plans, and hiring — while shipping product yourself every week.

• Owning the delivery and technical quality of your team's roadmap, working closely with your Product Manager to plan, de-risk, and execute.

• Contributing hands-on across our TypeScript stack (React + Node), from designing features to reviewing pull requests and tackling the hard problems yourself.

• Raising the team's technical bar through code reviews, architectural guidance, and best practices — including driving the adoption of AI-assisted engineering workflows.

• Partnering with engineering leadership on team topology, processes, and the technical direction of our platform.

HOW WE BUILD: OUR ENGINEERING CULTURE

We believe in a calm, collaborative, and productive engineering environment. We trust our engineers and give them the autonomy to do their best work. Our approach includes:

• Agile & Fast-Paced: We practice trunk-based development with daily releases to get value into our users' hands quickly.

• Quality by Default: We maintain a comprehensive Cypress E2E test suite and enforce strict typing, linting, and formatting rules to keep our codebase clean and maintainable.

• DevOps Mindset: Our well-oiled CI/CD pipeline deploys to AWS via Kubernetes, with our entire infrastructure managed as code using Terraform.

• Collaboration & Transparency: We value open discussion, constructive code reviews, and a culture where the best idea wins, regardless of who it comes from.

YOUR PROFILE

We're looking for a player-coach: a strong engineer who leads people without giving up the keyboard. You'll be a great fit if you have:

• Extensive experience (typically 7+ years) in software engineering, with a proven track record of delivering complex, scalable web applications.

• Strong expertise in our core technologies (TypeScript, Node.js, React) and the ability to reason about the entire stack, from the database to the browser — and you still use it daily.

• Leadership experience — whether as an Engineering Manager or team lead with direct reports, or as a senior tech lead who has mentored engineers, led projects, and shaped how a team works.

• A genuine desire to keep coding: this role is 60–80% hands-on by design, and that's what excites you about it.

• A passion for growing people. You find joy in helping other engineers develop, in giving honest feedback, and in building a healthy, high-performing team.

• Bonus, not required: a good understanding of building LLM-based applications or ML algorithms — your team includes AI/ML engineers, and being able to follow their work helps, though you won't need to be the expert.

• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

WHY US

• Competitive Compensation: A competitive salary above the market average.

• Work-Life Balance: Choose to work 100% remotely or from our modern office in Berlin. We offer flexible working hours to fit your life.

• Top-Notch Equipment: A new MacBook Pro to ensure you have the best tools for the job.

• A Great Team: Regular company off-sites and team events that connect us as people, not just colleagues.

• Job Security: A permanent contract in a stable, well-funded company.
