Engineering Manager, Application
Harbr, United Kingdom

We’re currently in the middle of a really exciting period of growth here at Harbr. We’ve been around since 2017, but until May this year, we had been operating in stealth-mode while we focused on building the best product possible. In November 2020, 6 months after emerging from stealth, we announced our $38.5m Series A, led by Dawn Capital and Tiger Global. We’ve already started to onboard a series of exciting enterprise clients, and are looking to grow the team at lightning pace.

We feel we’ve achieved an incredible amount with a small team, and in 2021, the plan is to build a function that can genuinely impact the way the world shares and interacts with data. That’s where you come in. We’re looking to hire an Engineering Manager to lead a best-in-class application development team as we tackle an entirely new sector with our enterprise data exchange product.

We seek management candidates who have a track record of building high-functioning and creative teams that solve challenging problems together. Candidates should have a knack for refining processes iteratively, and be driven to build something better in each scenario they step into. At Harbr, we have a strong belief in the potential of our team members, and we are committed to enabling our team members to grow, develop, and challenge themselves in their career at Harbr. We look for managers who give constructive feedback early and often, and who have a tendency to coach, mentor, and connect. Our managers strive for quality and reliability in software development, and internalize and translate the needs of customers into the daily activities as they lead in their teams.
