DKB Code Factory | Engineering Manager — Premium Cards (Web & Mobile)

Your responsibilities

•  Build, hire and onboard a six-engineer cross-platform frontend team (web, iOS, Android) and create clear platform staffing and backup coverage.
• Define and operate the team’s engineering operating model: code-review standards, CI/CD, automated testing, accessibility, security, observability and release discipline.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, QA and backend owners (Valencia and Berlin) to sequence cross-channel delivery, agree API contracts and remove dependency risks.
• Delegate technical authority by nominating and coaching platform owners; ensure routine technical decisions are made within the team rather than being bottlenecked by the EM.
• Drive the delivery of the first card-management tranche to production and establish a predictable planning and release cadence.
• Set measurable quality thresholds (stability, escaped defects, automated coverage, accessibility) and lead incident learning and continuous improvement efforts.
• Develop engineers through regular 1:1s, feedback, growth plans and performance management; build bench strength and succession coverage for each active platform.

Following qualifications would be in line with our desired profile for this position

• Demonstrated people leadership of a software product team, including hiring, coaching, feedback and performance accountability.

• Experience coordinating dependencies and technical contracts with backend/platform teams across locations.
• Practical understanding of secure software delivery, test automation, observability, accessibility, release management and incident learning.

Nice-to-have
