It's a large-scale, international initiative where engineers will have the opportunity to shape the architecture, build core fintech components, and create solutions designed to operate at InPost's scale. We’re building a lean, highly effective engineering organization in Poland, with AI-native engineering at its core.

• Experience operating in large-scale product organizations.
• Strong organizational design experience - team topology, headcount planning, and scaling without adding coordination overhead (2+ years).
• Proven ability to build and execute multi-quarter, area-level strategic roadmaps that synthesize product, architecture, and operational inputs.
• Strong cross-functional leadership with product, design, data, compliance, and finance stakeholders.
• Excellent executive communication skills, written and verbal, for VP and c-suite audiences.
• Technical credibility sufficient to engage in architecture reviews and risk assessments alongside Staff Engineers.
• Experience driving AI-first and agentic engineering practices, including harness adoption and data emission discipline.
• Solid command of delivery metrics at the area level: DORA, OKRs, team health, and business outcome tracking.
• English proficiency at a minimum B2 level; Polish language skills are a plus
