You will report to the CTO and be responsible for people, delivery, and engineering culture. Getting shit done is in your DNA. You communicate the vision, bring people along with you, and are not afraid to go against the grain when something doesn’t feel right-even when everyone else is heading in a different direction.\nTeam Leadership & People Management\nLead, coach, and support a team of leads and developers (15+), and develop leadership capabilities within the team.\nManage engineering, DevOps, and data teams, with enough technical knowledge across each domain to challenge them effectively.\nFoster healthy team dynamics, motivation, and collaboration, and don’t shy away from confrontation when it helps move the team forward.\nCulture & Ways of Working\nBuild a getting-shit-done culture focused on high-velocity software development, short feedback loops, frequent releases, and momentum.\nBe pragmatic rather than perfectionist: deliver the solution that creates business value now and iterate from there.\nKeep the team focused on impact rather than unnecessary perfection.\nMake decisions quickly: act on the information available rather than waiting for perfect certainty.\nVision & Direction\nCommunicate the vision clearly and translate it into something the team can act on every day.\nDare to challenge the direction when your gut tells you something isn’t right, and explain why.\nTrust your intuition and experience, especially when navigating ambiguous situations.\nDelivery & Technical Direction\nWork closely with the architect and product team on scalable, maintainable solutions without over-engineering.\nTranslate business objectives into concrete technical plans.\nSupport backlog prioritisation and delivery planning together with the CTO and product team.\nBusiness & Stakeholder Management\nAct as the point of contact for external IT suppliers; negotiate, set up, and manage contracts.\nManage day-to-day development blockers that require a business decision to move forward.\nAct as the bridge between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders, navigating conflicting interests effectively.\nManage subsidy processes such as WBSO, including documentation, time registration, and reporting.\nProcesses & Quality\nDrive good practices in software development, code quality, and release management where they make sense.\nIdentify and implement process improvements.\nEnsure the team has the tools and frameworks they need to succeed.\nWhat We’re Not Looking For\nThis role is not the right fit for you if:\nYou want to build the most technically perfect solution, regardless of its business value.\nYou are looking for a stable, predictable environment where you always know what next month will look like.\nYou focus more on technology than on its business impact.\nYou follow dogmas and “the textbook” and believe they always lead to the best outcome.\nYou rely solely on data and are not willing to use your intuition and experience.\nYou avoid conflict or keep postponing decisions until everything is certain.\nHybrid Working Policy\nAt Get-e, we work according to a hybrid model of 3 days in the office and 2 days from home. For this role, however, we expect you to be present in the office as much as possible due to the close collaboration required with the team.Your profile\nYou are a leader who makes things happen. You have previously led an engineering organisation within a scale-up or mid-sized tech company, and you know how to develop a team of leads, retain talent, and keep multiple disciplines-engineering, DevOps, and data-moving forward together.\nYou have the technical knowledge to challenge all of these teams. You understand architecture and are willing to dive into the low-level details when needed, but you don’t prove yourself through code-you prove yourself through results. You have a strong sense of when something needs to be built properly and when speed matters more, and you make that call decisively.\nYou don’t blindly rely on data or “the textbook.” You trust your intuition and experience, are willing to go against the grain when something doesn’t feel right, and make decisions even when not everything is certain. You don’t shy away from conflict; you use it as a way to move things forward. And you bring people along with you-from developers to non-technical stakeholders-because you know how to communicate a vision clearly.\nYou also have demonstrable experience working in a scale-up or startup environment.Why us?\nWhat’s in it for you? We want our benefits to make your working life easier, more flexible and a little more enjoyable too.Thinking about the future? We contribute 2.5% towards your pension.\nReady for a break?
