The opportunity
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Search team. The role entails contributing to the product & technical domains of excellence in the main API product that enables large retailers to seamlessly purchase tickets from bus & rail carriers worldwide.
This is a highly skilled, senior engineering team operating in a highly complex, high-throughput, and low-latency domain.
You will be stepping into an area where performance and cost-efficiency are critical, and your biggest challenge will be technical and strategic. With our platform scaling rapidly, your mission is to prepare our architecture for 10x growth. We need a hands-on leader who still fundamentally thinks of themselves as an Engineer, capable of diving deep into the technical weeds while steering the domain's business goals.
What you will do:
- Manage, lead, and support an experienced team of engineers, providing coaching, alignment, and performance management.
- Take ownership of domain health, ensuring our high-throughput, low-latency systems are robust, scalable, and consistently meeting performance goals.
- Drive profitability and cost optimisation, specifically tackling architectural challenges to scale our system 10x without allowing our current infrastructure and storage costs to multiply exponentially.
- Act as a hands-on technical leader, staying close to the code, system design, and architecture in a highly complex problem space.
Workplace: Berlin & hybrid / EU & Remote
We are a remote-first company with teams located around the Globe. Also, the HQ office is in Berlin, where the team often meets.
Who you are:
- You are an experienced people leader who has successfully managed and supported senior engineering teams.
- You think of yourself as an Engineer at heart; you are highly technical, hands-on, and capable of understanding and guiding deeply complex system architectures.
- You have a proven track record building, maintaining, and scaling high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems.
- You bring a strong business and resource-optimization mindset, with the ability to make strategic architectural decisions that directly impact company profitability and infrastructure costs.
- You have strong programming experience in any modern backend language and are excited to lead new development in Rust or Go. You are also adaptable and willing to learn.
- You show extreme ownership over your domain's health and are comfortable operating in an environment where technical challenges far outweigh basic language-level syntax issues.
- You are fluent in English, both verbally and in writing.
What you can expect:
- Make a global impact. Help shape how millions of people discover and book ground transportation worldwide.
- Own your work. Take responsibility from day one and see the direct impact of your contributions.
- Build with the best tools. We move fast, continuously evolve our tech stack, and invest in modern, efficient solutions.
- Work with industry leaders. Our partners include Booking.com, Google Maps, Amtrak, Deutsche Bahn, Renfe, and SNCF.
- Grow with exceptional people. Join an international team that will challenge, support, and inspire you every day.
- Work your way. Enjoy flexible and remote-friendly working options, relocation opportunities, and plenty of room to grow.
