As Engineering Manager DevEx & Front End Platform, you lead three platform teams and are responsible for people, delivery and budget. Your mission is simple: help Jumbo engineers build better software, faster. With your technical background, you shape the direction of our platforms, improve developer experience and explore how automation and AI can make software development smarter and more efficient.
Get started! This is what you will do
You lead one Developer Experience team and two Front End Platform teams. These teams build and manage the platforms, tooling and standards that help development teams work faster, more consistently and with greater quality.
Developer experience is at the heart of the role. Across the entire software development lifecycle, you identify where engineers lose time and work with your teams to remove friction. This can involve developer tooling, CI/CD, cloud platforms, infrastructure, standards or automation.
You have a strong software engineering background and understand the broader technology landscape, from cloud and infrastructure to distributed systems and operations. This makes you a credible sparring partner for senior engineers and architects.
You do not need to make every technical decision yourself. Instead, you create alignment, facilitate the right conversations and help teams turn ideas into tangible improvements. You work closely with Product, Architecture and engineering teams across Jumbo to continuously improve how software is built.
The role also looks ahead. AI-assisted development and agentic engineering are changing the way software is created. Together with your teams, you explore how these innovations can enhance our platforms and help engineers be more productive.
Ultimately, your goal is clear: create an environment where developers can focus on building great products and delivering value to our customers.

- Lead one Developer Experience team and two Front End Platform teams.
- Drive people management, performance, talent development and recruitment.
- Own delivery, budgets and platform outcomes.

- Help shape the technical direction of platforms, cloud, infrastructure and developer tooling.
- Enable teams to build, operate and continuously improve their platforms.
- Translate AI and automation opportunities into practical solutions for engineers.
- Represent the needs of the development community across Product, Architecture and Technology.
