- Outcome-Focused: You ensure that engineering efforts are aligned with business impact, prioritizing projects that support tangible outcomes
- Effective Communicator: You have strong verbal and written communication skills in English, ensuring clarity and alignment across teams and stakeholders
What the job involves
- As the Engineering Manager for Zenjob's Mobile & Martech Platform Team, you will be at the forefront of enabling our Product & Engineering (P&E) teams to build and evolve the platform that powers all client-facing experiences for our workers
- This includes our Mobile apps, our website, and key Martech integrations
- Your mission is to make this platform accessible and effective for engineers across the organization while maintaining high technical standards
- This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll drive technical direction, foster team development, and strengthen cross-functional alignment
- Drive the evolution of our client-facing platform to ensure it’s accessible, flexible, and simple for all P&E teams to contribute
- Define and uphold high standards for code quality, technical design, and performance, especially around React and React Native development
- Work with Product Managers to influence and prioritize the team's technical roadmap, ensuring alignment with business needs
- Hire, mentor, and support engineers while fostering an inclusive environment that encourages learning, growth, and open collaboration
- Ensure the team’s goals align with Zenjob’s broader business objectives, supporting a results-driven mindset
- Ensure the platform’s documentation, tools, and processes support smooth cross-functional contributions from other teams
- Partner with the Marketing team to enhance integrations with tools like Adjust, Braze and many others
- Build strong connections with other teams to reduce technical silos, unify development workflows, and share best practices
- Our platform runs on AWS, Kubernetes, Istio, Terraform, and Docker, which allows us to scale efficiently. Microservices and backends are developed using Node.js, Java, and Spring Boot, while our web frontend runs on React
- Drive efforts to make the Mobile platform self-service by developing tools, automation, and clear processes that empower teams to contribute independently
- Quality is ensured with tools like Playwright, JUnit, and other automated testing frameworks. We value an experimental mindset, using A/B testing and constant user feedback to refine our products
- Be a point of contact for teams leveraging the platform, offering support and guidance where needed
- Our engineers from around the globe are building the services that power our platform—from our mobile and web apps to our matching core and the digital document management system
- Our engineering team works closely with Product to support every department and deliver value to our users
Our take
Digital-first, flexible work gained traction with the rise of ride-sharing apps, but finding automated, on-demand talent for industries like grocery stores, events, and bars was still a major challenge - until Zenjobs came along. The company has revolutionized the space by making it easier for businesses to access the temporary staff they need.
Now, Zenjob is competing with other VC-backed startups like Tempo and Flexy, all vying to become the go-to flexible work marketplace across Europe. Despite the growing competition though, Zenjob has built a solid reputation with both companies and employees, positioning itself as a potential leader in this fast-evolving sector.
To stay ahead, Zenjob has invested its funding in expanding across Europe, with a focus on the UK. With fierce competition, Zenjob has managed to hold its ground and continue attracting investor interest, ensuring it can keep up with the market's rapid growth.
