Engineering Manager - BE, Java

At InPost, we’re transforming out-of-home delivery and logistics through technology. As we scale our platform to serve millions of users across multiple markets, we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead one of our core backend teams.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for driving the evolution of our Java-based backend systems, with a strong focus on performance, resilience, and scalability. You’ll lead a talented group of engineers in building distributed systems using Spring Boot, Kafka, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL, and play a key role in decomposing our monolithic architecture into cloud-native microservices.

This is a high-impact leadership position where you’ll shape both the technology and the team behind some of the most critical systems in InPost’s ecosystem.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and mentor a team of backend engineers working primarily with Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL
• Own the architecture and performance of distributed, microservices-based backend systems, with a focus on high availability, scalability, and latency reduction
• Drive and manage the decomposition of legacy monolithic systems into scalable, loosely coupled microservices
• Collaborate with product managers to define technical roadmaps and ensure alignment with business goals
• Guide the team through the entire development lifecycle: from design and implementation to deployment and operations
• Ensure adherence to engineering best practices, including code quality, testing, monitoring, and performance tuning
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement through technical reviews, retrospectives, and iterative delivery
• Partner with recruitment to hire top backend engineering talent, and actively support the onboarding and development of team members
• Foster a diverse, inclusive, and psychologically safe team culture

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of hands-on backend development experience with Java and Spring Boot, including microservices design and development
• 2+ years of experience managing or leading backend engineering teams
• Deep understanding of distributed systems architecture, message-driven architectures (e.g., Apache Kafka), and database technologies (both relational and NoSQL: PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
• Strong grasp of software performance engineering, including profiling, monitoring, and optimization techniques
• Proven track record of delivering reliable, performant services in a production environment
• Experience working in Agile environments and promoting modern DevOps and CI/CD practices
• Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and influence at multiple levels
