Engineering Manager - Product

Shine’s engineering team

Engineering at Shine is about product before anything else. We build the most reliable, scalable and user focused code to insure the best experience possible to our community (freelancers, professionals and SMBs).

In terms of organization, to ensure real impact and ownership for all our tech team members, our 50 engineers are divided into 5 tribes: our platform team is handling the underwater (backend, cloud, undefined) while the 4 product teams are dedicated on creating new features for our core products. ✨

Each product tribe focuses on a large scope (for instance: client acquisition, user experience or banking subjects) and includes different squads composed of 5 software engineers. Everyone works as full stack engineers, on a manageable scale and directly with the product & design team: So that everyone can challenge and have a great impact on the project!

We’re now looking for our future Engineering Manager to take the lead of one of our squad, bring guidance to the team and strategy to our product roadmap.

You'll be joining at a very special time:

• Growth stage of the company

• The opportunity to help shape and develop our product culture

Regarding our stack, our infrastructure is organized in microservices and cloud functions. We are using React, React Native, Node, Typescript, GraphQL, CircleCI, GithubActions, Kibana, Docker, GCP
