Engineering Manager

The Mission & Context

You join us to strengthen our technical team during a critical phase of product growth and architectural scaling. You will be a driving force in technical decision-making, ensuring code quality while helping the team reach new levels of technical maturity.

We aren't looking for a "ticket-executor." We are looking for the architect of our future scale. Our stack is proven (Java/Angular), but our challenges are anything but classic: complex business logic, high-performance needs, and the constant balance between rapid evolution and controlled technical debt.
