About the role

As Head of Engineering (f/m/d), you will be the driving force behind our technical strategy, overseeing the entire software lifecycle and the implementation of all products and features. Your role is pivotal in determining the technical direction for product development and resource allocation across various projects. This position offers an opportunity to lead a rapidly growing team of over 30 engineers, comprised of team leads and individual contributors, and to shape the future of our engineering efforts.

What you'll do
- Team Leadership : Personnel responsibility and full ownership of the day-to-day function and management of a team of 30+ engineers in total, together with Frontend and Backend team lead. The team has gone through a phase of growth that is expected to continue. Coach and mentor team leads and individual contributors, with the help of Employee Experience, to develop talent within the team and work on performance improvement when required.
- Strategic Technical Leadership: Drive the overarching technical vision for our suite of products to provide value to customers, ensure maintainability and achieve the company’s business goals. Foster innovation while being robust, scalable, and fit-for-future. Anticipate industry shifts and adapt our technological directions proactively. Work alongside senior team members to define and weigh in on core technical decisions and architectural changes.
- End-to-End Software Lifecycle Ownership: Bear end-to-end responsibility for the overall system architecture and lead the recommendation and selection of technology stack components and services. Drive improvements on our existing processes, ranging from technical design to code review and incident response, to ensure a high level of productivity, quality, performance and reliability within the team. Own the software development life cycle and methodologies in use at the development team and work together with the Head of Product to ensure that we can deliver products on time and at cost.
- Collaborative Operations: Facilitate communication between cross-product teams, such as Data Science and Quality Assurance, with product teams and stay on top of resource allocation and activities to ensure that projects run on time. Collaborate with your peers in Support, Product Management, Product Design and IT Operations on cross-cutting projects.
- Resource Allocation: Work closely with product management on engineering resource capacity planning and allocation and that work estimates are realistic and achievable with attainable goals. Own and oversee the engineering budget, which includes but is not limited to software licenses, R&D hardware and team travel expenses.

We are looking for someone with
- Minimum 5 years of experience managing engineering teams, including managing and mentoring team leads and individual contributors, and guiding groups through periods of strategic and technical change.
- A proven track record of managing large engineering teams (30+ engineers) and shipping user-facing products, preferably in a cloud platform.
- The Ability to scale and adopt best practices from prior experience and other sources to Cropster’s situation and needs.
- The Ability to balance business needs and technical challenges, and communicate tradeoffs effectively and with empathy.
- Passion to understand customer needs and a strong motivation to solve their problems rather than focusing on technology as an end in itself.
- The Ability to take decisive short and long-term decisions and actions under uncertainty.
- A people first mindset but also with strong desire to structure their work through clearly defined and transparent processes.
- Strong verbal, visual, and written communication skills with the ability to explain approach to all levels in the organization.

What you can expect

The salary range for this position is € 75K to € 85K gross/year and we look at factors like your experience and individual qualifications to determine our offer, which includes benefits like an educational and wellness budget, remote work possibilities, and working from home, flexible working hours, paid time for volunteer work, an endless stream of really great coffee, and much more. We also make our best possible offer upfront—no games.
