Engineering Manager - Marketplaces

At Channable, we're building the future of e-commerce automation - and at the core of that vision is a world-class engineering organization. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Marketplaces Group, where you'll play a key role in integrating e-commerce channels.

🚀 Your challenges:

As an Engineering Manager in the Marketplaces domain, you will lead an engineering department consisting of 4 team leads (your direct reports) who manage ~17 individual contributors. You'll report to our VP of Engineering, Jorryt Dijkstra.

You’ll be responsible for delivering maximum impact in the Marketplaces domain. You will partner up with an experienced Product Lead, with whom you will define and carry out a department vision, strategy, and roadmap. Engaged team leads and individual contributors are top of mind for you.

🛠 What you’ll do:

• Drive the Marketplaces roadmap by balancing the overall Channable strategy and the Marketplaces' specific opportunities

• Quantify success by defining and measuring success metrics for the domain as well as team performance

• Mentor and coach team leads to let them grow and excel at their jobs

• Drive for high engineering standards by implementing good software development practices and challenging the team to come up with good designs

• Improve and optimize processes that hamper productivity and can be more lean

• Build a high-performance culture through fostering accountability, being on top of performance management, and focusing on employee engagement

• You work based on data when you can, and you ensure future decisions take data into account

💡 What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager leading team leads (preferred) or senior engineers

• You have demonstrable experience in improving individual and team performance, as well as engagement

• You have a history of being a software engineer and know how to build high-quality software, and the tradeoffs that are to be made

• Outstanding communication skills - you're just as comfortable talking to engineers as you are with stakeholders

• A mindset focused on pragmatism and growth - you care about setting a high standard for yourself and your team and you continue to reflect to become more productive with minimal technical debt

• Some practical things we expect from you:

  • You’re available for at least 32 hours per week

  • You're willing to come to our Utrecht office for two days/week

  • You have a valid work permit and you're located in the Netherlands
    

Important note: We understand that studies show women may only apply for roles when they feel they meet 100% of the requirements; therefore, we strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't check every box, as we are looking for passionate individuals with potential and a willingness to grow.
