You will need to shape the architecture to support the needs of the business while bringing operational maturity and efficiency.

Experience We Consider a Plus

You understand all aspects of platform engineering.
You have energy, curiosity, and desire to continuously learn and improve.
You find pragmatic solutions to complex socio-technological problems.

Experience operating in a similar technical lead role.
Seeing the bigger picture and grasping the full scope of the business.
Being a strong advocate for Agile and Lean engineering practices.
Having a drive to always leave things better than how you found them: code, processes, documentation, interactions with people and every other aspect of your work life.
Living in fair proximity of our office (Wrocław, Poland).

How You’ll Benefit

Unlimited Discretionary Time Off.
Private Medical Insurance with the option to add dependents at your own cost.
Multisport Gym Membership.
Educational Assistance Reimbursement Program.
