Senior Engineering Manager (Full Stack/Backend) | High-Scale Privacy Platforms | Berlin
The Mission: We are a global technology pioneer dedicated to redefining data ownership and digital privacy. In an era of centralised data silos, we are building the "trust layer" of the internet - infrastructure that empowers individuals and businesses to securely exchange data and manage their digital identities with total autonomy.
The Role: We are seeking a technical leader to oversee multiple engineering squads building our core platform. This role is a sophisticated blend of people leadership and technical strategy. You will coach managers and staff engineers while remaining a key voice in architectural decisions, ensuring our distributed systems remain secure, scalable, and performant.
Technical Environment: Our teams work across the full stack using TypeScript, Node.js, and React, with mobile components in Flutter/Dart. On the backend, we are a polyglot environment; while we use Rust for performance-critical services, we value deep expertise in any modern backend language (such as Java, Go, or C#) provided you have a strong grasp of distributed systems and cloud-native architecture (AWS).
What is in it for you: * Modern Working: Hybrid model with flexible hours to suit your life.
