About the team

Bioma - probiotic supplements designed to support gut health, energy levels, and focus by replenishing good gut bacteria.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead engineering and be the go-to person for everything technical. You’ll be a hands-on person who connects the technical side with the business, working side by side with the Bioma leadership team to decide what gets built, how it gets built, and who builds it. This role is for someone who is at their best close to the code and the people: unblocking the team, raising the quality bar, setting standards, and keeping our systems fast and stable.

Get ready to

  • Build and shape the team, including defining roles, hiring, onboarding, and long-term capability planning
  • Stay hands-on: contribute to architecture, build, code reviews, and system design
  • Lead a team of engineers, including front-end, back-end and QA engineers, plus freelancers and outsourced partners where needed (expected team size ~10 people)
  • Partner closely with product, marketing, and data teams to deliver impactful, data-driven solutions
  • Improve engineering processes, ensuring scalability and technical excellence
  • Foster a collaborative, growth-oriented engineering culture
  • Define technology roadmap, plan and run delivery - sprint planning, estimates, and keeping commitments to the business

We expect you to

  • Have a strong engineering background with hands-on experience building scalable customer facing production systems using PHP, Laravel, Node.js, and Next.js, focused on performance and reliability.
  • Be a hands-on Engineering Manager who can make architectural decisions, review code, and keep systems stable
  • Have experience building and leading teams, including planning future needs and working with freelancers or outsourced engineers
  • Understand product development deeply and help evolve an existing product with new features
  • Care about quality engineering practices: testing, CI/CD, monitoring, incident handling, observability, ideally with Datadog
  • Communicate clearly with product, marketing, and external stakeholders
  • Help drive AI adoption and automation within the team and product
  • Be comfortable owning system reliability, monitoring, and long-term fixes (not just quick patches)
  • Experience in DTC/e-commerce, payments, paid media platform pixels and snowplow, etc. would be an advantage

Salary

Gross salary range is 6000-8000 EUR/month.

Location

We have several great workspaces to choose from, including our headquarters in Vilnius and our hubs in Klaipėda and Riga.

For our Vilnius office, we follow a 4 days onsite, 1 day remote hybrid model. For roles based outside Vilnius, the work arrangement -onsite, hybrid, or remote-depends on the specific position.

Speaking of perks:

Own your wellness Stay sharp and well in your own way – health insurance (after probation), on-site physiotherapist, office gym, and fitness classes keep you moving. Plus 7 extra days off, 3 for weddings, hybrid work, and the freedom to work 2 months from anywhere in the world.

Boost your daily life Every breakthrough needs a spark, and our daily setup is designed to support it. Enjoy a pet-friendly office, fresh breakfasts, hot lunches, and fully stocked drawers and fridges for a quick snack or even a team-cooked meal together. Rooftop and cellar events keep things lively, while a public transport card for Vilnius and access to Perks.lt benefits help make everyday life a little easier.

Shape your growth path Builders never stop learning. Coaching, mentorship, training, conferences, online courses, subscriptions, books – you’ve got a €1100 yearly budget to fuel personal or team growth. You pick the path – we’ll back you all the way.

Drive global impact This is where ambition scales. Build impact across 30+ brands worldwide. Launch bold projects. Even step in as a co-founder – we reward those who push further. And if you bring in more great people, you get €1500 for every successful referral.
