Data Engineering Manager

The core competencies of this role include mentoring and coaching people, cultivating a collaborative team, leading delivery, production operations, and continuous improvement. As in Back Market, we lead by example, we expect the role to also be hands-on, so personal contribution is expected

Data is a key enabler for a company like Back Market. Do you want to help your team build reliable, high-performing and secure data infrastructures and tools? Do you want to have a meaningful impact through your job? Here is your opportunity.

Main technical challenges

Traditionally based on a monolith, Back Market’s technical stack has been undergoing a radical transformation in recent years into a distributed and service-oriented architecture. This transition provides an opportunity to modernize the platform, raising engineering standards.

Building a set of efficient and loosely coupled services is one of the main challenges to face for the years to come. But teams are excited to independently control their release schedules, manage their data, SLAs, tools, and – ultimately – be responsible for their own service-offering. Meanwhile, Platform teams are working to provide a scalable, consistent and secure platform, one that makes engineering teams more productive.
