About marta
At marta, we build technology that makes high‑quality home care accessible, transparent, and human. Our platform connects families and caregivers across Europe, creating trust, dignity, and simplicity in one of the most essential industries: elderly care.
After establishing ourselves as the technological leader in the live‑in care market, we are now entering the next growth phase — scaling our product and engineering organization to deliver greater speed, stability, and impact. Our goal is clear: to set the new standard for technology in elderly care.

• A mission with societal impact — redefining home care across Europe.
• A small, high‑talent team that values ownership, clarity, and execution.
• The freedom to shape how product & engineering collaborate — from process design to tooling.
• A founder‑driven company where your voice defines the future of the product function.

You are the technical owner of marta’s platform. You lead by guiding architectural decisions, ensuring the team delivers high‑quality features fast and reliably, and by contributing to the production of code yourself.
Together with the Product Lead, you will form the core of marta’s product & engineering leadership — translating business problems into scalable, maintainable, and tested software.

• Own marta’s architecture end‑to‑end: keep the system simple, stable, and scalable across 9 microservices and 5+ apps.
• Drive pragmatic improvements (e.g. consolidation into a monorepo, shared library refactoring, dependency documentation).
• Ensure test discipline and CI/CD standards: no merges without coverage, no undefined tickets entering sprints.
• Monitor system performance, ensure load‑testing, and maintain a strong operational foundation.
• Code daily — design, implement, and review core features across backend and frontend.

• Partner closely with Product to define sprint goals, ensure clarity, and deliver predictably.
• Review pull requests, maintain technical documentation, and ensure consistent code quality across the team.
• Balance speed and quality — make trade‑offs explicit and data‑driven.
• Track key engineering KPIs (bug rate, rework percent, automation coverage) and drive continuous improvement.

• Lead a small team of full‑stack and product engineers by example — mentor through code, not hierarchy.
• Provide technical guidance, unblock teammates, and promote ownership in specific system areas (invoicing, matching, care onboarding, etc.).
• Build psychological safety and trust in a lean engineering culture: focus, clarity, and accountability.
• Work directly with founders to align tech decisions with business goals.

• Collaborate with Product to embed agentic and AI‑powered capabilities — both in our workflow (for faster delivery) and within the product (to automate operational tasks).
• Use AI to accelerate testing, documentation, and rapid prototyping.
• Continuously evaluate modern tooling that increases development speed without compromising maintainability.

• Own system security and compliance — ensuring audit readiness and GDPR alignment.
• Close operational gaps and formalize disaster recovery procedures.
• Foster a culture of reliability: proactive monitoring, incident documentation, and zero tolerance for untested hot‑fixes.
