Come Join Us!

We’re looking to hire an immensely talented Regional Director of Engineering to join our Engineering division. You’ll be managing a set of growing engineering teams and will help us scale our platform capabilities and business across the globe. You’ll collaborate closely with our C-level suite as we define our product and engineering roadmap. Then, you'll manage delivery against that roadmap through your use of good engineering process, leadership and leveraging your past experience. You will have the opportunity to help shape the company’s technological strategy, cultivate the technical environment, and lead, guide and develop our engineering teams.

About You

  • If you want a key role at a high-growth B2B SaaS company that asks you to write code AND manage a team of high-performing developers and quality assurance engineers then this is your job.
  • You can attract, recruit and maintain top talent, motivate and coach the team, manage performance and conduct and facilitate growth of the talent that needs nurturing.
  • You're an “extroverted introvert”  - a technical person who loves people relations and has fantastic communication skills.
  • You drive new product engineering and scaling existing solutions as part of a collaborative, cross-domain product/engineering team.
  • You have experience leading engineering teams and allocating them to specific projects. This includes distributed teams, across multiple, large-scale business or consumer product units.
  • You genuinely care about your team, and have experience advocating for their position, even if it means making tough decisions
  • You are a positive, inspiring, and supportive leader; a nurturer of talent.
  • You have an engineering mindset, can jump in and contribute to technical designs and improvements.
  • You feel comfortable meeting clients and serving as a trusted advisor. You are able to draft potential solutions, on the spot.
  • Your ideal role is a mix of solving technical problems and being a performance coach. One day you're pouring through the code to fix a critical bug and doing code reviews, and another day you’re managing the weekly Sprint inside Jira and grooming the backlog of development requests.
  • Have a strong emphasis on shipping features quickly without sacrificing code quality.
  • Take pride in your work by implementing cutting-edge technologies and writing state-of-the-art code.
  • Emphasize simplicity and pragmatism, which is reflected in your elegant code that other developers emulate.

What you’ll bring:

  • 7+ years of relevant professional experience, preferably working on advanced B2B products - e-commerce, product catalogs, search, marketing automation, collaboration and marketplaces.
  • 2+ years of management experience 
  • Strong technical roots and a skill base that intersects well with Knowde’s tech stack & development tools: Ruby/Rails, Python, React, Kubernetes, AWS, Atlassian tools, etc.
  • Working understanding of data privacy and industry compliance.
  • Ability to take initiatives from requirements to deployment
  • Ability to design and build scalable, high-availability mission-critical systems and APIs.

Our Stack:

  • Ruby / Rails
  • Python
  • Java / Spring
  • TypeScript / React
  • PostgreSQL / Elasticsearch / Redis / S3 / SQS

Our Perks & Benefits

  • Location: Rzeszów, Łódź, Białystok, or remotely from Poland
  • Periodic visits in the office might be necessary
  • Flexible working hours 
  • Opportunity to work on innovative projects with a strong team of engineers
  • Real and visible influence on the company growth, direction and future
