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.
Your Mission

• 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 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.
