Manager, Engineering - Delivery Experience Backend Team

About the job:

Are you excited about making a big impact in the e-commerce logistics sector? Allegro's Delivery Experience area is searching for a dynamic Engineering Manager to lead our backend team. You will be leading an existing team of 4 people, including backend engineers and testers. Here's why you should join us:

• Strategic Transformation: Lead the evolution of a critical integration platform, including the migration of selected services from .NET/Azure to Allegro’s strategic JVM and GCP stack.

• High-Impact Domain: Work at the core of our logistics and integration ecosystem. Your team's services are the foundational layer for our carrier platform strategy, significantly reducing cross-team dependencies and drastically cutting down carrier onboarding time.

• Innovative Integrations: Manage and develop key APIs for our delivery network, enabling external partners to seamlessly integrate with our infrastructure (such as our parcel lockers). You will also oversee hybrid integrations that connect multiple carriers, shaping the future of our delivery ecosystem.

• Business & Tech Synergy: Play a crucial role in bridging the gap between business and technology. You will translate complex business expectations into technical solutions and confidently represent Allegro in technical discussions with external partners.

Important things for you:

• Flexible working hours in the hybrid model (4/1) - working hours start between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. We also have 30 days of occasional remote work.

• Depending on your annual assessment and the company's results we offer:

• Annual bonus based on your annual performance and company results.

• Long term discretionary incentive plan based on Allegro.eu shares (restricted stock units).

• Our team is based in Warsaw.

In your daily work, you will handle the following tasks:

• Planning and executing the strategic migration of microservices from .NET to JVM/Kotlin/GCP without disrupting ongoing operations.

• Managing, mentoring, and supporting a focused backend engineering team, guiding them smoothly through a major technology stack transition.

• Maintaining existing integration APIs and developing new features to support incoming carriers and new business requests.

• Acting as a translator between business stakeholders and the engineering team, ensuring technical deliverables align with business expectations.

• Leading technical discussions and negotiations with business partners.

• Supporting the team in daily operations, including participating in on-call duties and providing hands-on technical guidance.

We are looking for people who:

• Have a strong technical background in backend development (.NET or Java) and are enthusiastic about leading a technology transformation towards the JVM ecosystem.

• Have experience in planning, managing, and executing complex system migrations or architectural overhauls.

• Possess strong business acumen and can comfortably translate high-level business needs into actionable technical tasks.

• Are excellent communicators, confident in representing the team externally and acting as a trusted partner in technical discussions.

• Are willing to be hands-on when necessary.

• Have a product-oriented mindset with proven experience in maintaining and scaling critical APIs.

• Are fluent in both Polish and English (B2 level).

What’s in it for you:

• Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms).

• A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.

• A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g., medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers).

• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job.

• A training budget, inter-team tourism (see more here), hackathons, and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings.

• An additional day off for volunteering, which you can use alone, with a team, or with a larger group of people connected by a common goal.

• Social events for Allegro people - Spin Kilometers, Family Day, Fat Thursday, Advent of Code, and many other occasions we enjoy.

And that's just the beginning! You can read more about the benefits here.

#goodtobehere means that:

• You will join a team you can count on - we work with top-class specialists who have knowledge- and experience-sharing in their DNA.

• You will love our level of autonomy in team organization, the space for continuous development, and the opportunity to try new things. You get to choose which technology solves the problem and you are responsible for what you create.

• You will value our Developer Experience and the full platform of tools and technologies that make creating software easier. We rely on an internal ecosystem based on self-service and widely used tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, Consul, GitHub, and GitHub Actions. Thanks to this, you can contribute to Allegro from your very first days on the job.

• You will be equipped with modern AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on developing new services and refining existing ones (also leveraging AI support).

• You will create solutions that will be used (and loved!) by your friends, family and millions of our customers.

• You will meet the Allegro Scale, which starts with over 1000 microservices, an open-source data bus (Hermes) with 300K+ rps, a Service Mesh with 1M+ rps, tens of petabytes of data, and production-used machine learning.

• You will become part of Allegro Tech - We speak at industry conferences, cooperate with tech communities, run our own blog (it's been over 10 years!), record podcasts, lead guilds, and we organize our own internal conference - the Allegro Tech Meeting. We create solutions we love (and can) to talk about!
