We don’t follow formats. We shape them. We build what works, launch it fast, and make sure it hits.

We are looking for a highly experienced Engineering Manager to join our teams in Valencia.

• Lead platform and product development without frequent involvement in writing or reviewing code.
• Improve platform and product quality by identifying technical debt, recurring issues, and architectural or process gaps.
• Manage team resources, balancing workloads, rotating people when necessary, and ensuring sustainable delivery.
• Drive the adoption of modern technologies and innovations to continuously evolve the company’s engineering capabilities.
• Define, improve, and enforce engineering standards and guidelines, ensuring domain knowledge is properly documented.
• Contribute to and lead engineering initiatives beyond the scope of the direct team, positively impacting the wider engineering organization.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional backend development experience.
• 5+ years of experience managing engineers and team leads, or senior technical profiles.
• Experience with Kubernetes and containers, cloud‑based development, infrastructure and system design, microservices, and distributed systems.
• Experience with building and maintaining high‑load systems.
• Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Solid understanding of data structures, coding patterns, and algorithms.
• Experience with RESTful APIs, message brokers, third‑party integrations, code and peer reviews, CI/CD, secure development practices, information security, and test‑driven development.
• Experience working with agile methodologies, ideally Scrum.
• Experience with Node.js (nice to have).
• Strong analytical, leadership, communication, and feedback skills.
• Fluency in English.

Benefits

• Relocation package (tickets, staying in a hotel for up to 2 weeks, and visa relocation support for our employees and their family members).
• Opportunity to develop language skills, with partial compensation for the cost of language classes (for localization purposes).
• Time for proper rest, with paid vacation and sick leaves.
• Competitive remuneration level with annual review.
