About the role

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll lead a multi-platform engineering team covering mobile (iOS, Android, React Native), web, and backend, while staying close to architecture and key technical decisions.

About you:

You have 5+ years of hands-on software development experience and you’re comfortable staying hands-on with coding and technical decisions when needed.
