Our YoungCapital R&D department in Hoofddorp (a city nearby Amsterdam) is looking for an Engineering Manager for one of our development teams. Every day, we work on more than 30 highly visited websites, our own e-learning platform, a range of back-office systems, mobile apps and many other applications, used by over 6 million candidates and more than 1200 employees. Yes, we help candidates with finding a job, but we also offer numerous online tools for personal development and support throughout their careers. We do this with the latest technologies. For example, we use machine learning to automatically match candidates with jobs that best suit their skills and competencies.

The teams in our R&D deparment are composed of a mix of front-and-backenders (who are also part of their respective guilds), a QA, a Product Manager, and an Engineering Manager, hopefully you!

• Managing a team of 6-10 people as they ship product;
• Assisting the engineering talent in their careers, growing people and letting them go;
• Hiring, interviewing and debriefing developers for your team;
• Ship things with the team for 10-20% of your time;
