The scope of this position is the entire vertical/marketplace which includes all our products and teams under the Milanuncios brand.

As Milanuncios Engineering Director, your mission will be to shape and implement both the marketplace and the Tech & Data strategy in order to reach both short and long-term business goals, while developing a high-performing engineering organization that continuously delivers value in the most effective, fast and secure way.

• You will ensure that the marketplace keeps a healthy balance between short-term delivery and long-term sustainability aligned with the product (i.e. keep technical debt under control, ensuring that PEAK Squads react on health metrics, promoting required investments, anticipating business or industry challenges, etc).

• You will promote our agile development framework inside the organization with the support of your Engineering Managers and the guidance of our Agile Coaches.

• You will be responsible for the Tech budget (OPEX, CAPEX, Salaries and Headcount) of your marketplace.
