• Lead and develop two engineering squads responsible for the seller journey and integrations with external marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart, and Zalando, ensuring reliable delivery and a high engineering bar across both teams
• Partner closely with Product and Design to define priorities, translate business needs into execution plans, and make trade-offs that balance delivery speed, quality, and technical sustainability
• Drive the technical direction of your scope—challenging architectural choices, ensuring solutions are scalable and maintainable, and raising best practices in testing, observability, and incident management
• Develop your people: coach engineers and tech leads, identify growth opportunities, run performance and career conversations, and contribute to attracting strong talent into the organization
• Build a strong operating model for your teams—improving ways of working pragmatically, protecting team focus, fostering ownership, and enabling effective collaboration with distributed and international stakeholders

• Proven experience in e-commerce, marketplaces, channel management, feed management, catalog or order management—or a closely related domain
• A solid Java background—you may no longer be hands-on today, but you have the depth to challenge architectural decisions, assess technical trade-offs, and manage a team of Java engineers with credibility
• Demonstrated ability to deliver in a demanding and fast-moving environment, while protecting team focus and adapting your management approach to the existing context
• Experience collaborating with international and cross-functional stakeholders across time zones

Key Skills:

• Engineering leadership: ability to set direction, delegate effectively, and develop people at all levels
• Execution in complexity: capable of managing delivery, priorities, and trade-offs across multiple teams simultaneously
• Technical judgment: able to engage in Java architecture discussions, challenge integration design choices, and guide engineers on complex distributed systems
• Fluent English: able to lead discussions, challenge decisions, and collaborate autonomously with US-based and international partners (approximately 50% of working time will be in English)
