What Makes This Role Exciting
Own engineering end to end (execution, quality, reliability, and people), reporting to our CTO at Almedia, Germany's fastest-growing company by YoY revenue.

Shape a lean, high-performing team with AI as core to the way the team ships.

Get engineers onto the highest-impact work, with a shared way of prioritising alongside Product and Design.

Partner with the executive team, Product, and Design to turn ideas into experiments and successful releases.

Build a QA function that prevents defects and keeps the site reliably up, with the authority to surface release risk early.

Build the leadership bench and engineering culture that let the org keep compounding.

What You Bring
Hands-on leader, strong in JavaScript/TypeScript, who writes and reviews code. This is how everyone operates here, starting with our CTO.

Already rethought how a team works with AI and shipped faster because of it.

Bonus: React Native, Python, data pipelines.

Your Track Record
Scaled engineering organisations through significant business growth, developing engineering managers.

Led Frontend, Backend, and Reliability functions, and know how to design the operating model that lets them move together at speed.

Partnered closely with Product and Design, turning business priorities into a shared roadmap.

Know how to connect engineering decisions to business outcomes, not just delivery metrics.
