Engineering Manager to lead and develop our engineering team. You'll partner closely with our VP Product and CEO to make sure the team grows further, thrives, and keeps shipping a high-quality product.
What you'll do
- Lead and develop our engineering team. Run regular 1:1s, give direct and actionable feedback and own career development across the full seniority spectrum - from an early junior finding their footing to an aspiring staff engineer.
- Improve delivery, processes, and purposeful AI adoption. Adopt our existing processes, challenge and support the senior engineers in operational excellence, and identify where AI genuinely improves how we work and what we ship.
- Maintain enough proximity to the codebase and technical discussions to support junior engineers on code quality and contribute meaningfully to technical discussions with the senior engineers.
- Treat Product and Engineering as a single team. You bring engineers closer to product and product closer to engineering in how the team plans, decides, and ships, working hand in hand with Product, Design, and UX Research.
- Be deeply involved in engineering hiring: assess technical talent, help close open roles, and keep raising the bar as the team grows.
What you'll need
- Prior engineering management experience in a startup. You've managed engineers as an engineering manager before, preferably in a Seed/Series A/B or similar environment.
- Solid engineering foundation. You were a senior IC before moving into management and can credibly assess technical quality, review code with a critical eye, and contribute in architectural discussions.
- Your former reports got promoted, took on broader scope, or grew into roles that better matched their strengths.
- Proactive and high-energy operator who brings a naturally organized workstyle and drive to push a wide range of topics forward without adding bureaucracy.
- Fluent in written and spoken English with clear communication across engineering, product, and leadership teams.
What they offer
- 45% of base salary in equity on top
- 28 days PTO, flexible working hours, and workation
- Dog-friendly Berlin office with free lunch and beverages
- Annual personal training budget of €1,500
- Company-supported pension scheme with 30% contribution
- Urban Sports Club membership and home office budget
