👪 Your team and context

You'll be joining our Frontend team (6 engineers) as their Engineering Manager. This team is responsible for designing, building, testing, and operating our native and web apps.

Your peers will be David (EM for the Backend team) and Julien (CTO, acting EM for the Data team).

🎯 Your missions

  • Line management: keep your team happy and healthy.
    Coach and grow your team’s skills, collect and act on their feedback.

  • Project management: keep the team efficient.
    Coordinate a squad, help it stick to process and plan well, keep projects on track, coordinate with peers and with stakeholders to enable delivery of our roadmap.

  • Hiring: grow our team.
    Contribute to candidate outreach, interface with recruiters, screen resumes, conduct and/or organise interviews with our engineers.

  • Keep being an engineer.
    We believe that strong EMs stay in the game, so we'll expect some technical contributions to our projects — although we do appreciate they'll have to be limited.

  • Share your ideas.
    You'll participate in ideation workshops, as well as be expected to submit ideas for new features, be they technical or user-facing. Everyone contributes to the product because we'd never want to miss out on good ideas.

  • 🎁 Benefits

    • Competitive compensation: €80-120k/year depending on experience.

    • Share options.

    • Work anywhere (in Europe).
      We care about the work done, not where you do it from. Most of us work remotely full time, and we're equally happy if you'd prefer to work from our London HQ or anywhere in Europe. You just need a suitable workspace and a good internet connection.

    • Flexible schedule.
      Many of us are parents and/or have various personal life commitments. While we typically work around 40 hours a week, how you schedule your work hours is up to you.
