Apply here 🤩

Are you an ambitious leader of leaders with a passion for developing leaders and dealing with large and complex engineering challenges? Would you like to be a catalyst to developing high-performance engineering teams delivering impact towards +200k businesses’ in Denmark? Then e-conomic is the place to go!

The Scope of your role
As our Head of Platform & Infrastructure, you will be leading teams responsible for site reliability engineering, the developer experience and the internal platform and tooling. Working closely with your peers responsible for product development, you will lead your area, setting the strategic direction in alignment with the product strategy and ensuring that product teams are enabled and empowered to do their work, while you are also contributing towards setting the bar for technical excellence.

Your team
You will be part of an engineering leadership team, and work with teams located mainly in Denmark, Romania and Portugal. We all meet up physically at least once a year and you will have opportunities to travel to the various locations to meet with teams, but you are expected to be comfortable with managing and working with remote colleagues, and be able to communicate and troubleshoot via online communication.

We respect that we do not all follow the same daily rhythm, but we also enjoy pairing up and huddling on a regular basis, often mobilizing several people during incidents.

We accept that incidents happen, but we demand that we learn from them and we do not accept finger pointing or scapegoating. We foster and nurture an environment of psychological safety, where teamwork and collaboration is key!

Our customers' happiness is our north star, and our job in engineering is to enable the product organization in delivering customer value and satisfaction. We expect you to champion that mindset, ensuring that you lead your area to focus on the right things at the right time, while continuing to set new standards of excellence from a technical and leadership perspective.

Above all, we are a team! We help each other out when things are tough, and we all help contribute to a culture where we respect and care for each other regardless of role or experience.

Briefly about the broader Products department (R&D)
You will be joining our development organization Products (R&D) with +180 employees, primarily located in Denmark, Romania and Portugal, working with technologies and platforms like C#, React, MS-SQL, MongoDB, GCP, Istio, Cloudflare, Terraform, Datadog, Identity Server, Cortex and Swarmia. We are a diverse group of +20 nationalities, including Developers, Product Managers, QA Engineers and UX Designers.

The skills we see you bringing
We expect you to be a catalyst for bringing our reliability and resilience to the next level, ensuring the continued success of our business and first and foremost, our customers' happiness. You know when to apply pragmatism, when to step in and use your domain expertise, but also how to scale yourself. You keep the eye on the ball, and lead your teams to success by helping them focus on doing the right thing at the right time.
