Currently, I am working on behalf of a business on the verge of a huge transformation from a classical retailer of electronic products to a fully online marketplace with big ambitions to move their business model from b2c to b2b, already serving businesses such as Bosch, BMW & Mercedes offering over 10m items!

Overseeing an engineering department of 30+ people and being responsible for coaching & mentoring technical team leads.
Work closely with the Director of Engineering and CTO to oversee the optimal use of resources across the cross-functional teams, monitor & improve performance & set best practice definitions.
Responsible for the secure operation and further development of the platform / online shop
Collaborate with other stakeholders across the different business units, helping drive transparency.

You will have a significant impact on the business to define and improve the existing and future software engineering team and agile team set-up. Inspiring the team to grow more self-organised, setting up technical roadmaps and supporting the Director of Engineering in developing the technology strategy.

The basic requirements are as follows:

Strong track record of people leadership & coaching qualities in an agile and digital environment - ideally, larger engineering teams 20+
Know how to shape a software engineering (web) department on the cultural, practice and process level.
Strong Engineering Background, with 8yrs+ experience. It is critical that you have a previous expert level of knowledge on the frontend (JavaScript, HTML, CSS etc).
Strong practical experience in establishing Architecture, Quality & Security processes
Deep Understanding Agile Scaling Frameworks

Permanent employment basis, full-time in Bavaria, possible share options with some flexible home office or remote options
Salary Range - 90,000 - 110,000 EUR (depending on experience) and further benefits

This is an exceptional opportunity as we offer an impressive workspace and use some of the latest technologies. Conference budget, time for learning and the ability to make an impact and help build upon the team for the business.

Applications from the EU only will be considered.
