We are looking for someone with a passion for creating a sustainable environment, both through process ownership and by contributing to the overall success of Back Market, as well as a good team player supporting colleagues and creating a learning and sharing environment!

Your mission (If you accept it): 🏅

  • Help the Tech organization define and roll out a new Software Development Lifecycle/Way of Working that puts an emphasis on quality, reliability and maintainability.

  • You have experience from working with engineering leaders and senior developers, and are comfortable having conversations about software, continuous delivery, and long term technical strategies.
  • You are willing to experiment, fail and innovate in finding how to effectively work together in an organization that grows quickly.
  • You can identify underlying mechanics when analyzing problems and reframe them to find new solutions. 
  • You are comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity and can work your way through it.
  • You actively ask for feedback and use it to develop. You also give your feedback, with insight and empathy, to individuals and teams around you.
  • You have a “can do” attitude and willingness to work autonomously, solving any problems needed to help the organization move forward
