We understand that many small hotels face challenges with digitalization, making their operations increasingly complex and often resulting in lost revenue. This is where we come in!\nWe have developed a powerful solution that enables hotels to set the right prices in just seconds. Our state-of-the-art algorithm analyzes both internal hotel data and market trends to recommend pricing strategies that enhance revenue and improve booking rates.\nWith customers spanning the globe-from the USA and Canada to Iceland, South Africa, China, Slovenia, Italy, and the UK-RoomPriceGenie has made a meaningful impact in the hospitality industry, and our clients love the results.\nNow, we are excited to expand our customer base and spread the word about how we can support hoteliers in optimizing their pricing strategies. We invite you to join us on this journey! We actively encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds to enrich our team and drive innovation.\nYour Role\nAs an Engineering Manager for the Algorithms team (Revenue Management Engine) at RoomPriceGenie, you will build and lead the team behind the core of our product: the pricing and forecasting engine that automatically prices rooms for thousands of hotels. This is the algorithmic and data heart of RoomPriceGenie, spanning the pricing algorithm, the forecasting models and the data pipelines that feed them.\nThis is a leadership role. Your focus is the team: delivery, people and the connection to product goals. You stay technically credible and close to the work through design and code review, and you get hands-on when the team needs it, but you are not coding day to day. You balance delivery speed with long-term technical health and build an environment of trust and accountability. The role also reaches beyond your own team: we want you leading the way on technical improvements at the Product and Engineering department level, things like engineering processes and operational excellence, as a hands-on driver.\nYou will work closely with a Product Manager and report to the Senior Engineering Manager. A core part of the job is turning a complex, data-heavy domain into reliable, measurable outcomes: shipping model and pipeline improvements, proving their impact through backtesting and clear quality metrics, and keeping pricing runs dependable at scale. We expect you to be a genuine partner to Product, able to challenge and shape what gets built, not only how.\nWho you'll lead\nYou will lead a team of 4 engineers (3 Senior and 1 Staff). The role may also grow to include an Associate Engineering Manager over time.\nYour Responsibilities\nBuild and lead a high-performing team across the pricing algorithm, forecasting and data pipelines, owning delivery, quality and the operational health of pricing runs.\n\nGrow your people through regular 1:1s, feedback, performance reviews and career development.\n\nHire, onboard and develop engineers to keep the team balanced and strong.\n\nPartner closely with Product and challenge them: push back on direction, bring your own point of view and drive changes to what the team builds, not just how it builds.\n\nTranslate business goals into clear engineering plans with measurable outcomes and realistic timelines. Use data (backtesting, model quality, before and after signals) to guide prioritisation.\n\nBalance delivery velocity with technical sustainability, addressing debt, scalability and reliability as part of delivery rather than after it.\n\nProvide technical oversight through design and code review, staying close enough to guide architecture and quality and to get hands-on when the team genuinely needs it.\n\nAct as a buffer between the team and external pressure, keeping focus and healthy team dynamics.\n\nImprove engineering processes and practices to increase clarity, alignment and predictable delivery.\n\nLead technical improvements beyond your own team, at the Product and Engineering department level, for example engineering processes and operational excellence. We want you hands-on and driving these, not only sponsoring them.\n\nYour Profile\nStrong software engineering background with a track record of building and operating production systems, ideally with depth in backend and data-intensive or algorithmic domains.\n\nAt least 5 years of experience, with several years genuinely managing engineers, including performance management. This is a role for an experienced manager, not a first step into leadership.\n\nExperience growing or managing other managers, for example an Associate Engineering Manager or Team Leads, is a plus.\n\nA strong product mindset with the confidence to challenge Product. You enjoy defining problems and validating solutions with PMs and you are comfortable disagreeing, proposing alternatives and driving them to a decision.\n\nTechnically credible and willing to get hands-on when the team needs it, while spending most of your time leading rather than in the code day to day.\n\nComfortable with our stack: Python/Django on the backend, with a data stack around Snowflake, dbt and Dagster. Exposure to forecasting, modelling or data engineering is a strong plus.\n\nStrong grasp of system design, architecture and engineering best practices.\n\nExcellent communication and leadership: you create clarity, trust and accountability, with a servant-leadership mindset toward your team.\n\nYou look beyond your own team and enjoy driving technical improvements that raise the bar across the wider Product and Engineering org.\n\nFluent in English and based in a European time zone (UTC+0 to UTC+2).\n\nWhat We Offer at RoomPriceGenie\nAt RoomPriceGenie, we don’t just offer jobs; we offer an adventure!
