We believe shared cars are a
better way to move around, offering more flexibility and more
convenience. We are already the #1 car rental marketplace in Europe, and
we believe the adoption will be 100 times larger in just a few years.
We have a lot on our plate since we are
opening cars with smartphones, preventing fraud, optimising the search & booking experience,
opening new countries... so we'd love for you to join the growing engineering team and contribute.
The
engineering is getting close to 20 people, but as you might notice on
the job listing page, we have a lot of positions open and we will grow a
lot more this year. This is why, to be able to scale the team in good
conditions, we are recruiting an engineering manager. We are looking for
someone who enjoys leading a team of bright people, give them
everything they need to succeed and make sure everything is moving
forward.
What you would do at Drivy

squads
with people coming from various departments like engineering, data,
design and product. In this context you would manage the web developers

responsibilities like:
• Keeping your team happy & effective by identifying and removing any roadblocks

• Support your team and help them achieve their career goals
• Be actively involved in hiring and onboarding new engineers
• Provide mentorship, code reviews and coaching when needed
• Conduct one on ones, yearly reviews...
• Be involved in more global technical decisions at Drivy

you'll need to care a lot about agility and efficiency: building the

You will work in the best possible conditions, with:
