Backoffice Engineering Team Leader

We’re seeking a passionate and experienced Team Leader for our Backoffice Engineering Team, which develops internal tools and automations to drive efficiency throughout the organization.

About the Backoffice Engineering Team

The Backoffice Engineering Team focuses on automating and optimizing processes for our Logistics, Accounting, Customer Support, and BI teams. Our goal? Grow and scale our business without scaling these teams — everything needs to happen seamlessly within our systems. Over the next two years, we will be integrating our new ERP system and experimenting with AI to boost productivity and efficiency.

Once you join the Team, you will be responsible for:

• Leading and mentoring a small team (3 Backend Engineers + 1 QA)

• Collaborating closely with our Head of Engineering on strategic technical decisions and vision

• Integrating our new ERP system into our existing codebase with your team

• Actively contributing with hands-on coding and technical guidance on architecture decisions

• Developing and maintaining internal tools for partner backoffice teams

  • automating the planning of optimal routes and safe delivery methods

  • simplifying and automating invoicing processes

  • integrating the system with customer service tools and automating handling customer requests

  • ensuring data consistency and quality across systems

In the role of Backoffice Engineering Team Leader, we expect that you will:

• Lead the charge on automating routine tasks and processes across our internal teams

• Grow and support your team, ensuring everyone develops professionally and personally

• Be the main driver of ERP implementation on the engineering side

• Help your partner teams organize their processes and automate as much as possible

• Prioritize and tackle technical debt, making sure our solutions stay manageable long-term

• Keep an eye out for areas where our systems can be faster, more reliable, or just better

• Explore and experiment with new tech, especially AI solutions, to make our daily work smarter and easier

In the first month, you could:

• Get familiar with the ERP plans and help shape the implementation approach from an engineering perspective

• Get to know the current backlog, projects, and systems - spot any low-hanging fruit for improvement

• Sit down with partner teams (Accounting, Logistics, CS) to better understand their day-to-day struggles and how tech could actually help

• Take a step back and look at how we work - what’s going smoothly, what’s getting in the way, and what could use a rethink

• Start digging into our most painful tech debt areas and work with the team to decide what's worth tackling first

In the first 6 months, you should:

• Lead the implementation of the accounting part of the ERP

• Work with the team to simplify and stabilize existing tools: clean up what’s old, improve what’s clunky

• Identify any gaps in our tooling or workflows and propose new projects to close them

• Help team members grow: pair on tough problems, encourage ownership, and make sure they’re building confidence along the way

• Look for places where we can bring in automation or AI to save people time or avoid manual work

• Collaborate with other tech leads to keep our backend direction aligned and scalable
