Why join us

• build tech for good (really)
• competitive compensation (90-120 k€/year)
• true remote environment (all of Engineering is full remote)
• very experienced team (10y+ average experience)
• unique tech & product challenges

👪 Your team and context

You will be joining our Frontend team as the Engineering Manager. This team consists of 4 engineers (1 iOS, 1 Android, 2 Web) and is responsible for designing, building, testing, and operating our native and web apps.

Your peers will be Wil (Head of Data) and Julien (CTO, acting EM for the Backend team).

Our team is currently stable, so the main focus of this role is on delivery and technology rather than career management.

🎯 Your missions

1. Delivery management: keep your squad efficient.

   Coordinate delivery of work in two squads (Apps squad and Web squad), help them stick to process and plan well, keep projects on track, work closely with Product Managers to enable delivery of our roadmap.

2. Line management: keep your team happy and healthy.

   Coach and support your team’s skills growth; collect and act on their feedback.

3. Keep being an engineer.

   We believe that strong EMs stay in the game, so we'll expect some technical contributions to our projects — although we do appreciate they'll have to be limited.

4. Share your ideas.

   You'll participate in ideation workshops, as well as be expected to submit ideas for new features, be they technical or user-facing. Everyone contributes to the product because we'd never want to miss out on good ideas.

🎁 Benefits

• Competitive compensation: 90-120 k€/year depending on your experience.
• Share options.
• Work anywhere (in Europe).

  We care about the work done, not where you do it from. Most of us work remotely full time, and we're equally happy if you'd prefer to work from our London HQ or anywhere in Europe. You just need a suitable workspace and a good internet connection.

• Flexible schedule.

  Many of us are parents and/or have various personal life commitments. While we typically work around 40 hours a week, how you schedule your work hours is up to you.

Professionally,

• You have 2+ years of proven leadership experience (as Tech Lead, as Lead Engineer across multiple projects/companies, or as Engineering Manager)
• You have 5+ years of engineering experience, with native mobile apps (iOS, Android) or web frontend (React ideally).
• You have strong computer science fundamentals, from data structures to algorithmic complexity.
• You have worked in an early-stage startup environment.
• You have worked remotely, with a distributed team.

Personally,

• You want to build technology for good.
• You feel that our work ethic resonates with yours, and you see how they can act as guidance for your day-to-day work.
• You are fluent in written and spoken English.
• You live in Europe (incl. EU, EEE, or UK).
• You are willing to travel 3-4 days a few times a year to meet the team.

🥜 About Peanut

No woman should have to navigate motherhood without a support network.

Our mission is to provide a safe social network for all women to form new friendships, find their communities, and provide support to each other.

Unlike other social networks, we put safety and wellbeing first.

Since 2017, over 4 million women have joined. We've grown quickly across the US and other countries, and received numerous accolades from Apple, the New York Times, Good Morning America, and the BBC to name a few.

Our team of 30 people is multidisciplinary, distributed, diverse, and experienced.Some of us have previously worked with Citymapper, Deliveroo, Twitter, Pinterest, or Bumble.

We're passionate about creating a great product that actually does social good. We thrive on collaboration. We experiment and discover solutions to problems we don't believe anyone has solved well.

🧑‍💻 How we work

Our main product work happens in 3 cross-functional squads. Those are formed based on our technical products (app, web, and platform squad).

We make pragmatic choices when picking good tools. We communicate mostly through Slack and manage work and prioritisation with Notion, review code through Github pull requests, and meet with Google Meet.

We have few but useful meetings: a short, daily standup, a weekly all-hands meeting to discuss product and/or analytics, and squad ceremonies like planning sessions, group testing sessions, or retrospectives.

🤝 Our work ethic

We believe that great teams build great products — and we live to high standards we've learned through past experiences.

• Collaboration. No one person can come up with a perfect solution, be it about technology or user experience. We strive to listen to everyone and co-design the product across engineering, design, and beyond.
• Trust. We trust each other to do their best and to know how to execute within their role and beyond. So we never micromanage — instead, we agree on scope and let each team member be responsible for execution … and expect everyone to ask for (and get) support when they need it.
• Mastery. We care about quality and detail, because we care about our audience. We push ourselves and question our assumptions. We always experiment and keep learning, individually and as a team.
• Ambition. We have a bold mission, and we aim to make a dent into what we see as a problem in society. We're committed to the health of our users, our team, and our company.
