Engineering Manager, Intelligent Platforms (all genders)
HelloFreshBerlin, Berlin, Germany · Posted 12 days agoDescription
HelloFresh Group is the world's leading integrated food solutions provider, with a global portfolio of brands spanning meal kits, ready-to-eat meals, and specialty products. From our Berlin headquarters, we build and run the technology that delivers millions of meals every week.
We welcome team players who thrive in a dynamic environment, lead with ownership, and bring diverse perspectives to the table. If you are motivated to grow in a culture that champions speed and agility, data-driven decision making, and customer centricity, we would like to hear from you.
The role
The Foundations Alliance builds the tools and infrastructure that empower engineering teams across HelloFresh. Cloud Runtime sits at the center of it: we provide a reliable and highly performant multi-cluster container platform so that every HelloFresh engineer can deploy services with 99.99% uptime, high performance, low latency, and minimal operational overhead.
As Engineering Manager for Cloud Runtime, you will lead a squad of platform engineers who own the container platform, networking, and traffic routing that more than 1,000 production services depend on across Europe, North America, and Australia and New Zealand. You will partner closely with our Product Manager to turn a defined platform strategy into a roadmap the team can execute, and you will be accountable for the reliability and cost of what we run.
This is a hands-on leadership role. Your day will not be spent writing code, but you will be close enough to the system to read a pull request, follow a debugging session, and challenge the team on any technical decision they bring you, from an architecture proposal to an incident postmortem.
What you'll do
- Lead, grow, and support a distributed squad of platform engineers, with team members based in Berlin and Poland, owning hiring, development, and performance for the team
- Build and maintain an engineering roadmap spanning one to two quarters, and make explicit trade-offs between features, timelines, and quality
- Drive our core platform commitments: expanding into a highly available platform with failover between pre-provisioned clusters, increasing adoption of our container platform and multi-region deployments, and reducing infrastructure cost through networking and compute optimisation
- Own the squad's operational metrics and be accountable for moving them
- Facilitate and role-model postmortems, and drive the follow-through on action items
- Manage relationships with key infrastructure vendors and work with Security on audit and compliance requirements
- Partner with the Observability, Release Engineering, and Security squads, where our roadmaps are tightly coupled and dependencies run in both directions
- Foster an inclusive and open working environment, and create the kind of documentation and knowledge sharing that makes the team less dependent on any single person
What you'll bring
- Experience managing a team of engineers, including hiring, performance management, and career development
- Experience leading a team that is split across more than one location, and the habits that make that work
- A strong technical background in cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience of Kubernetes and at least one major cloud platform
- Familiarity with the surrounding ecosystem: service mesh, API gateways, infrastructure as code, GitOps-style deployment, and secrets management
- The ability to contribute technically when needed, whether that means reviewing code, pairing on a problem, or helping debug an incident
- Experience owning production systems with meaningful availability targets, including incident response and on-call practices
- Judgement about when a decision is reversible and when it is not, and a willingness to front-load design effort on the ones that are not
- Strong stakeholder management, and the ability to say no to a loud request that is not on the roadmap
- Clear written communication and strong asynchronous collaboration skills
Above all, we are looking for people who will make HelloFresh Group better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences, so even if you don't tick all the boxes but think you'd thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.

- You’ll receive a competitive salary package, including a HelloFresh-subsidized pension scheme.
- Enjoy savings on your weekly HelloFresh box.
