Job description
Who we are
Aftonbladet, Sweden’s biggest news source, engaging more than 3.5 million people on a daily basis! Aftonbladet’s mission is to build Europe’s fastest and most engaging news product with future-proof technology.
We like to experiment and challenge our technology choices as much as possible to create amazing user experiences. We are humble and care a lot about our craft, always helping each other to become better at it. We test, we fail and learn.
A little peek at the stack: JavaScript, React, Node.js, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, REST, CI/CD, Microservices, AWS.
What will you do
As a Hands-on Engineering Manager for our newest team in Krakow, you will be in the unique position of helping to build your new team from scratch; guiding them as they shape their team culture, establish their mission & vision, define their processes, and fashion a collaborative relationship with their sister team in Stockholm, Sweden. You will be accountable for the technical direction of your team, as well as growing and shaping the engineering expertise within your team.
Your team initially will help transition Aftonbladet to the Schibsted Core platform. Aftonbladet today have a similar setup as it would on the new platform (React/Redux with a Node.js API/backend) but it cannot benefit from all the features until it is fully integrated.
