Your mission

A great travel experience doesn’t end once the "Book" button is clicked. At BlaBlaCar, ensuring peace of mind and flexibility after the purchase is the mission of the Post-booking squad. Whether it’s accessing an e-ticket, managing a ride plan, or handling cancellations and exchanges, their role is to provide a seamless, trustable, and transparent experience that supports passengers every step of the way until they reach their destination.

As Engineering Manager of the Post-booking squad, your mission is to lead a diverse, talented team of frontend and backend engineers to build a scalable and reliable "After-Book" platform. You will be at the heart of BlaBlaCar’s transformation into a global marketplace, tackling the challenge of unifying post-booking services for carpool, bus, and train supplies into a single, high-performance architecture.

You will achieve this by partnering closely with a dedicated Product Manager, a Product Designer, and our Data team to define the vision, execute the roadmap, and drive a culture of technical excellence across the company.

• People Management: Recruit, inspire, and grow your team of engineers through mentorship, career development, and regular feedback
• Operational Excellence: Foster a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, ensuring the team leverages modern tools (like AI-driven acceleration) to maintain high productivity and quality
• Management Experience: A confirmed experience in a management position with proven people management skills
• Technical Background: Experience in building reliable, scalable, and secure consumer-facing products, ideally with knowledge across backend (Java, Spring) and frontend (Kotlin, Swift, React, TypeScript) stacks
• Communication: Strong leadership and communication skills in English, with the ability to bridge the gap between technical constraints and business/compliance requirements
• Problem-Solving: A track record of "getting things done" and the ability to take a step back to prioritize added-value tasks in a high-stakes environment
• Agile Expertise: Experience in managing development processes using agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban
