We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join our Team in Berlin!


In the Engineering team we are inspired by the fact that Anyone anywhere at anytime can use our products to learn languages. To support this vision, we are growing rapidly, and scaling up a new world-class team in our Berlin office.


As a member of the Engineering leadership team, based in Berlin, you'll be responsible for building a team to own and deliver new features that contribute to have an awesome learning experience. You will be responsible for leading and growing a team of engineers, building a team culture of quality, innovation, efficiency and initiative, with a never give up focus on customer needs.


We believe you’ll be fully engaged and challenged, merging your real-world business instincts and understanding with technical skills to innovate and impact the company. You are comfortable working across multiple disciplines within a dynamic, fast-growing company to deliver awesome outcomes.

  • A solid backing of technology and software development knowledge (including Ruby on Rails and Javascript ecosystems) allowing you to challenge the team, suggest technical alternatives and recognise excellence.
  • Real passion to understand customer needs and a strong motivation to tackle their problems rather than focussing on technology as an end in itself.
  • Previous exposure to making business-level trade-offs, balancing the needs of our customers with those of our business and clearly communicating the rationale behind your decisions.
  • Good instincts matched with deep analytical thinking. You're comfortable defining and tracking key business and usage success metrics, but also recognise that metrics never tell the whole story.
  • Ability to communicate directly and clearly, with a strong emphasis on careful listening.
  • A track record of building relationships and influencing at all levels of a global organization to execute your vision.
  • Validated experience in long-term maintenance and refactoring of complex code bases, either as developer or managing.
