In a context of growth, we’ve got ambitious objectives, especially in our Tech Team.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, you will help to build Combo’s platform, which is the underlying foundation of our entire set of Products and Services. Your objective is to make sure Combo’s infrastructure and services work seamlessly, reliably, at scale while being easy to operate, maintain and upgrade. You’re also in charge of the Developer Experience at Combo by providing services & tooling to the Tech team so they can focus on Product development and remain highly productive and efficient.

Combo’s Tech & Product team is about 50+ people and growing. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to oversee our Tooling & Infrastructure team (6pp). You will mentor, coach, and enable your squad so they can generate value across the entire perimeter: Infrastructure, CI/CD, Observability, DevX & Tooling and Technical Support.

We’ve got many challenges ahead of us: building a solid and flexible architecture using decoupled and distributed systems and contributing to Combo’s Engineering culture. This is why we chose to embrace the Platform Engineering discipline.

We’re looking for passionate individuals with ambition who can take our squads to the next level in terms of processes, skillset, impact, and excellence.

Our stack today is made of Ruby, NodeJS, TypeScript, React, Postgres, Redis, GCP, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Grafana, etc.

How are we organized?

Each squad is made up of a PM, an EM, 2 to 8 Devs (back-end, front-end and/or full-stack) and, depending on requirements, a Designer or QA.

Product and Tech teams are experts in their product areas and corresponding users’ issues, they are autonomous in defining and achieving their quarterly and annual objectives, which are aligned with the company’s product strategy.

As the Tooling and Infrastructure EM, you’ll provide leverage to all squads through a set of environments, tools and services. You’re basically acting as a multiplier across the entire Tech team.
