About this role

Our Backend department is made up of 3 teams, each team having a clear technical mission aligned with Yubo's strategic objectives. As Engineering Manager, you will be in charge of leading one of those teams.

The Backend Foundations team is a cornerstone of this setup. Its goal is to deliver robust internal backend foundations (libraries, tooling, developer experience, performance observability) as well as operational internal applications. The team also serves as a key partner to Infrastructure and Security teams to ensure the scalability and resilience of our stack.

The Engineering Manager will ensure high execution standards, define long-term technical foundations, grow the team, and guarantee that the work delivered by Foundations enables the entire engineering organization to move faster and safer.

  • You will manage a distributed team of platform-minded engineers embedded across multiple squads, supporting them with clear scope, strong alignment, and a shared identity. Together, you'll drive the development of internal tools and automation that empower not just engineering, but also QA, Product, Safety, and other teams across Yubo to scale with efficiency and impact.
  • As a people manager, you'll coach your 3 team members through regular feedback, tailored development plans, and opportunities for growth, while fostering a high-trust environment where engagement and psychological safety are top priorities.
  • You'll also play a key role in recruiting and onboarding new team members, contributing to the team's strength, diversity, and cohesion.
