• Lead, mentor, and grow a large cross‑functional team (approx. 20 engineers and specialists), fostering a culture of craftsmanship and ownership.
• Manage operational excellence at scale, driving velocity and minimizing friction for complex, high‑impact initiatives.
• Provide deep technical direction and challenge architectural decisions to ensure the team builds scalable, maintainable B2B SaaS solutions rather than just maintaining existing stacks.

• Oversee the quality and performance of the product domain, managing technical debt strategically alongside new feature development.
• Maintain a clear overview of staffing capabilities and drive the growth of senior talent within the team.

• Product Mindset: Demonstrated success working in a dual‑leadership setup (Product + Tech) and translating business requirements into technical strategy.
• Proven track record of building solutions and delivering strategic success, not just maintaining legacy systems.
• Excellent communication skills in English and Polish (C1/C2), capable of bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Self-driven and team player.
• Knowledge of how to work well in an international and multicultural environment in a fast‑growing company.

Additional Information

• Offer only for candidates eligible to work and live in Poland.
• Location: Hybrid in Warsaw (4 days per month in the office) / Remote from Poland.
