About URBANTZ?**
We’re offering not just a company, but a culture:
- Urbantz operates on one of the most growing markets, offering a SaaS solution for retail, logistics, and e-commerce - businesses that tremendously accelerated in 2020.
- We’re growing fast for the last 5 years - recently Deloitte has listed us among the top 3 fastest growing start-ups in Belgium.
- We’re a team of diverse people who make things happen.
- Our culture is built on experimentation, constant development, flexibility, and encouragement of initiatives in an international, English speaking work environment.

Your journey at Urbantz:
As an Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for partnering with other leaders on the Product and Engineering teams to help craft the best solutions to solve the problems at hand, whether that be through people, process, or technology. You will:
- Support, coach, and lead an effective team of roughly five Software Engineers with personal goals, useful feedback, and ongoing development

- Bring your technical spirit with you
- Guide our product and technical evolution, and drive reductions in technical debt
- Evaluate our business and technology strategy
About Our Stack
- We migrated from AWS ECS to Azure using Kubernetes for container-orchestration. Our main data store is MongoDB hosted on Mongo Atlas, but we also use Elasticsearch for some corner-case full-text search needs. Our backend and API code runs on Node.js, while the front-end web application is written in AngularJS and we are migrating to React.
- Our toolset also counts with single-command, build & deploy tasks for both production and staging environments, working along with GitLab CI. We use Protractor for the end-to-end testing and Jest for the back-end unit testing.

- A willingness and passion for mentorship
- Have min 5 years of experience as a Software Developer
- Have excellent written communication skills

- Work applying DevOps principles, practices, and values
- Previous hands-on experience in JavaScript, Node.js and MongoDB is a plus
