Engineering Manager (Backend)

A lot of things are slowing down right now due to COVID-19, so a quick update on where we stand. We’ll keep it short. Because not much has changed. We’re continuing recruitment and product development at full speed — just with a heck of a lot more video conferencing! As a well-funded SaaS company we’re lucky to be able to take all the precautionary safety measures, while we continue business as usual. So if this role speaks to you, we encourage you to apply to our (now remote) team.

Shapr3D is a super ambitious company, aiming to revolutionize the computer aided design (CAD) industry and to build a globally successful product. We are backed by top European investors including Point9 Capital (Revolut, Zendesk) and Creandum (Spotify). Shapr3D is a flagship app on iPad Pro, regularly getting featured by Apple. But what we’re most proud of is the love we receive from our global user base every day.

We are looking for engineering managers with a strong technical background to lead and grow a team of engineers, guiding them to find simple solutions to complex problems.

Our tech stack: 

• Highly distributed system running on native AWS
• Micro services written in GO
• Data stored in DynamoDB and Amazon RDS

What you will do

• Lead, coach and further develop a team of engineers through regular 1:1s, feedback sessions and performance reviews
• Support your team in setting and following the operational processes, engineering principles and standards.
• Partner with product managers to define the roadmap and deliver new features that will deliver value to our users  
• Guide your team in the design and development of high quality mobile product while inputting technically as an engineer in your own right

The team

We are a team of agile, multidisciplinary developers. Many of us have worked on products from the beginning that scaled from 0 to tens of millions of users (Prezi, LogMeIn, join.me). 

The way we work

Our office is located in the heart of Budapest, next to Deak Ferenc square. As we are a startup, with big ambitions, we are working very hard, but we are also making sure that nobody burns out. We respect your personal life and free time. 

Since Shapr3D is a very young product, we do a lot of experimenting, and 70% of the job is feature development. We appreciate creative minds, who not only write code, but have a strong product mindset.
