About Catawiki

Catawiki was founded in 2008. It was originally designed as a website where collectors could manage and keep track of their collections online. Visitors can still add new items to the existing catalogue of collectibles. Unsurprisingly, the name Catawiki is a combination of the words ‘catalogue’ and ‘wiki’. In 2011, Catawiki began hosting weekly auctions in various categories, including art, antiques, classic cars, watches, jewellery, fashion, books, and stamps.

Position

As an Engineering Manager, you will lead one agile engineering team for one of our Verticals: Fulfillment, Demand, or Supply, and your role will consist of three parts:

1. Bringing the vertical forward and shaping the strategy for vertical tech foundations in order to modernize the tech stack and enable faster delivery of product improvements.

2. Supporting the professional growth and development of the engineers: hiring, coaching, empowering, growing, and assessing/promoting them.

3. Shaping how the team can deliver on its mission and vision. The most important aspects are:

  • Provide leadership and guidance to the engineers in code quality and maintainability, contributing to the design and architecture of the team's domain.
  • Partner with the Product and UX peers to detail the team's roadmap and deliver product initiatives with customer-centricity principles in mind.
  • Together with the engineers on the team, shape the tech foundations for the team's domain to enable the delivery of new product features in a fast and high-quality manner.
  • Establish quality metrics to track and analyze the effectiveness of the team's software delivery processes

How we roll - Our Stack

As the biggest marketplace for special items, Catawiki operates in a market, which brings a lot of unusual challenges and opportunities. You will be developing, testing and scaling our microservices, written in Ruby, to handle the high volume served by the platform every single day. We do this by using Infrastructure as Code principles, collaborative peer-reviews, delivering code to production multiple times a day, A/B testing various assumptions, sometimes making mistakes, learning from them, and iterating quickly.

Your qualification

We are looking for people who like to make a big impact. We love people who want to make a contribution to further building out our engineering culture and who want to have some fun with their colleagues along the way. Next to this, you have:

  • Experience in a managerial role, with a proven track record of growing engineers
  • Hands-on experience in software development
  • Proven track record of leading a team to deliver product initiatives aligned with the business objectives 
  • Proven track record of partnering with Product and UX peers to design and deliver products
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams with stakeholders in a matrix organization

If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles

What we offer

  • Create a Visible Impact by working at scale in a global organisation that serves millions of customers across 80+ categories. In our flat structure, every role has a broad scope that directly impacts both our customers and the business.
  • Learn and Grow with Us through our Learning & Development initiatives, which include clear development plans and mentorship programmes designed to support your career progression.
  • A Culture of Connection defines us. We’re a passionate, diverse and collaborative team of 800+ Catawikains and 60+ nationalities, all coming together to build a one-of-a-kind marketplace. We foster an inclusive and queer-friendly work environment, committed to making every Catawikian feel welcomed and empowered. Whatever your story, we encourage you to bring your unique perspective to our team. 
  • Celebrate Life’s Moments with us at Catawiki. When you join us, you’ll receive a €100 Catavoucher, and on each birthday, you'll get a €50 Catavoucher to celebrate. Enjoy an extra day off each year to "Pursue Your Passion". We also recognise significant work anniversaries (3, 5, 8, 10 years) with additional time off, plus extra leave for life’s big moments like marriage, engagements, or moving house.

Please note that benefits can vary by location. For specific information regarding what’s available in your country, please consult your recruiter.

Additional details

Our Offices and Way of Working

Our vibrant offices in Amsterdam, Paris and Lisbon are designed to inspire and connect. Most Catawikians are within commuting distance of one of our offices and enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work model. This means we typically ask you to be in the office 2 out of 5 days, roughly 40% of your working time, to collaborate and connect with your colleagues. Of course, if the job description specifies that the role is 100% remote—such as for certain expert or sales positions—then that arrangement will apply.
