Engineering Manager
You've probably walked past our lockers on the streets of your city. That's where it starts! But we're building something much bigger: the infrastructure layer for how Europe receives deliveries.
We've scaled past €100M in revenue across 9 countries in under four years, with tens of millions of people using our products every month. And we're now one of the fastest growing tech scale-ups in Europe.
We are in search of a Engineering Manager to join our innovative team as our new #bloqstar. In this role, you'll play a crucial role in leading teams of talented engineers to develop, enhance, and maintain our cutting-edge smart locker solutions on several fronts of our Solution.
Fair warning: we're scaling fast and the data and reporting capabilities are scaling with us. You'll often need to pull from multiple systems and build the picture yourself before you can analyse it. If you need everything pre-structured to do good work, this isn't the role.
What you’ll be doing:
Lead and manage a multi-skilled team of backend, frontend, and firmware engineers
Set clear team and individual objectives, and provide ongoing performance feedback and development
Build and empower a team to deliver creative, thorough, and practical solutions to a wide range of complex technical problems
Collaborate closely with other Engineering leads to bring continuous improvements and take our Engineering organisation to a new level
Provide technical guidance and support to the engineering team, ensuring adherence to best practices and company standards
Ensure that the code produced is aligned with the best practices and standards in the industry (such as following SOLID principles and containing a healthy level of test coverage)
Collaborate with Product Managers and other EMs to align our engineering efforts with business goals
Focus on the professional and personal growth of your team, including conducting performance and compensation reviews
What you’ll bring to the table:
Proven experience as an engineering manager or similar leadership role in a technology-driven environment
First hand experience as a software engineer
Have experience building team & hiring new team members
Excellent leadership, communication (written and spoken in English), and interpersonal skills
Expertise with the best principles, practices, and standards in the industry, such as: SOLID, TDD, design patterns, refactoring, etc
Demonstrated ability to work closely with senior management and product teams
Proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and learning
Experience in leading teams working on large-scale products
It would be great if you would also have:
Experience in products combining both hardware and software
Experience in growing Scale-ups, from being an early Engineer to 100+ people team
Experience in B2B enterprise products
