📋 Description

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of ~8–10 strong systems and backend engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and high code quality. • Own the vision and roadmap for the platform layer of the Bidding Platform - planning its evolution with platform efficiency, reliability, scalability and security as the guiding lens. • Take part in defining the team's evolving scope — as the platform grows, we anticipate the need for multiple platform teams, leaving meaningful room to shape the scope around the areas that interest you most. • Delegate ownership of whole platform areas (e.g. monitoring, deployment, security) to senior engineers advising and supporting them when needed. • Deliver the team's capabilities as self-service platforms with clear usage contracts. • Base decisions on data - complex projects often require running experiments and gathering evidence before deciding. • Take part in IT-wide capacity planning for further platform scaling. • Own the framework for dispatching on-call alarms to the right teams and drive the continuous elimination of noisy alarms. The lead does not need to take part in the duty rotation personally.

🎯 Requirements

• 2+ years in a technical leadership role (Team Lead / Engineering Manager), including leading project teams. • Strong previous hands-on background in distributed systems and systems engineering - deployment, monitoring, databases, and load balancing within large-scale infrastructure. The role is not about writing code day-to-day, but this background is essential to understand and lead the engineers. • Comprehensive understanding of complex IT systems spanning hardware, software, and algorithms. • Knowledge of concurrent programming and distributed systems. • Critical performance analysis skills - from theoretical estimation to production optimization. • Strong programming background and the ability to dive deep into code reviews when needed. • Experience building platform capabilities as products for other engineering teams - defining clear usage contracts and best practices, and driving cross-team technical rollouts by enabling and guiding those teams rather than doing all the work yourself. • Comfortable owning a technical area end-to-end and communicating across teams. • Self-directed, proactive approach. • C1-level English and Polish fluency.

🏖️ Benefits

• Projects focused on extreme performance and high code quality – clean code and solid code reviews are our standard. • Collaboration within an interdisciplinary, self-sufficient team (including DevOps, database experts, backend developers, product designers, and QA engineers). • Access to modern technologies and the opportunity to apply them in large-scale, high-impact projects. • Cooperation based on B2B contract. • You can cooperate 100 % remotely or choose one of our office spaces in Warsaw or Cracow.
