Jobylon
Do you enjoy being close to the code, while knowing your greatest impact comes from strengthening the people and structure around it?
You’ve seen what happens when engineering teams have momentum. Decisions are made close to the code. Deliveries are predictable. The team moves forward with confidence.
You’ve also seen the opposite. And you know what makes the difference.
At Jobylon, you’ll step into a role where your impact is visible across the entire product. You’ll work closely with XXXX XXXX, our CPO, and XXXX XXXX, our CTO, helping shape how engineering operates and creating the conditions for teams to deliver at a high, sustainable pace.
Jobylon is building a modern talent acquisition platform used by companies across Europe. As Director of Engineering, you’ll take ownership of engineering delivery and execution, making sure the team can deliver consistently, with quality, and without unnecessary friction.
You’ll lead an engineering organization of around 15 people, including an Engineering Manager and Tech Leads. Your focus is to strengthen this layer, helping them grow into confident leaders who make sound decisions and raise the level of the entire team.
You’ll work closely with, and report to, XXXX XXXX, our CPO, on priorities and planning, ensuring scope and timelines are realistic and that the team has the right conditions to succeed. At the same time, you’ll collaborate with XXXX XXXX, our CTO, on technical direction, contributing your perspective from building and shipping the product day to day.
A key part of your role is improving how engineering operates. Strengthening ownership. Improving predictability. Finding better ways of working through modern tools and AI. Over time, this will be reflected in how the team makes decisions, collaborates, and delivers.
You’ll stay hands-on enough to understand the system and support the team when needed. Not because you have to, but because it helps you lead with context and credibility.
Skills & Requirements
You’ve worked as a senior engineer and gradually taken on more responsibility for people, delivery, and technical direction. You’re comfortable moving between code, technical discussions, and leadership.
You have several years of experience as a backend or fullstack developer. Python and Django are familiar to you, and you’ve likely worked with other technologies as well. You understand what it takes to build and operate systems that need to scale and evolve over time.
You’ve led engineers, Tech Leads, or Engineering Managers, and helped them grow.
