At Issuu, we empower content creators through cutting edge tools, technology and services. We exist to help creators of longform, highly visual content build audiences and businesses. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to join our ride.

Based out of our Copenhagen office, you will be responsible for managing three small engineering teams. As one of Issuu’s Engineering Managers, you are ensuring that we are helping our engineers develop professionally, that our processes continuously improve and that our commitments to projects are being kept.

We are the right company for you, if you

• want to work on a product that matters to a lot of people – We receive hundreds of visits per second and host over 50M+ documents,

• consider yourself one of the best at what you do and you're looking for equally talented colleagues,

• are self-driven and would never just want to take the next ticket,

• are curious and never stopped learning and exploring new languages, technologies and solutions,

• seek a culture where all voices matter when it comes to shaping the future of the product,

• want to work with colleagues who have ‘here to help’ attitude, and absolutely want to help you succeed,

• enjoy setting others up to succeed and believe in the principles of servant leadership.

We believe you can help us succeed by

• building high performance teams through hiring for the future in terms of technology and culture,

• building high performance teams through continuous professional development of individuals,

• improving processes that set up engineering to do greater things,

• managing projects and ensuring effective communication,

• leading by example, taking initiative and doing what is needed to set up the team to succeed,

• being strategically minded with roadmap planning and delivery forecasting,

• being a strong individual contributor through coding when needed that sets up the group to succeed.

We are looking for someone who has

• 5+ years of relevant experience,

• a Master’s degree in CS or equivalent,

• managed 2+ large scale, successful commercial projects from inception to production to release,

• experience building high performance teams through both hiring and professional development,

• experience building a culture that empowers engineering to do greater things,

• demonstrated success operating independently, comfortably wearing whatever hat is needed (product, architecture, engineering),

• experience with scalable microservice architecture.

• Can you say yes to most of these qualifications? If you want to build truly scalable systems and work on something that matters, it’s time to apply!

Other things you should know are

• we're currently working on Issuu’s Story Cloud both on web and mobile apps, machine learning for better understanding of our content, internal analytics and our famous reading experience to mention a few examples,

• we currently use Python, OCaml, Javascript, Erlang and a bit of C++, and we’re extremely open to using new languages and/or technologies,

• our architecture is microservice-oriented using AMQP,

• we deploy multiple times a day on AWS and use Docker Swarm, MySQL, Redis, Node, etc.,

• we strive to be agile (Who doesn’t?), but we're not religious about Scrum, Kanban or any other methodology.

Would You Like to Join?

We're looking for the right person to join our team in Copenhagen and if it's you, don't hesitate to apply! In addition to the Engineering team, you find members from both Customer Success, Product, Design, Analytics and Management.

We provide delicious catered lunches, regular outings and nice parties, but we also build arcade machines, design escape rooms, host video and craft beer evenings and have one of the slickest table tennis setups going around.
