The role

As Engineering Manager DevEx & Front End Platform, you lead three platform teams and are responsible for people, delivery, and budget. With your technical background, you help provide direction to the platforms that accelerate and simplify software development within Jumbo. You improve the developer experience and investigate how automation and AI can make developers more productive.

What you'll do

You lead one Developer Experience team and two Front End Platform teams. The teams work according to DevOps principles and build, manage, and improve the platforms for which they are responsible. You ensure strong teams, clear priorities, and predictable results.

Developer Experience is central. Together with your teams, you look at the full software development lifecycle and improve the processes, tooling, and platforms that developers use daily. You help remove blockers, automate where possible, and make software development faster, simpler, and more reliable.

You understand software engineering in its entirety and are a credible interlocutor for senior engineers. You connect engineering, Product, and Architecture and ensure that technical choices lead to concrete improvements for developers.

Additionally, you look ahead. AI-assisted development and agentic engineering are changing the way software is built. Together with your teams, you investigate how these developments can contribute to a better developer experience within Jumbo.

Ultimately, the role revolves around one question: how do we ensure that developers within Jumbo can build as effectively as possible?
