<h3>The Mission: Platform as a Product</h3> <p>Your mission is to bridge the gap between "infrastructure" and "developer success". You will transform our platform from a set of tools and processes into a cohesive internal product. You will lead a team of engineers through a period of growth and establish a "paved road" that allows our product teams to ship with zero friction.</p> <h3>The Impact: Driving High-Velocity Delivery</h3> <p>You aren't inheriting a fixed roadmap or team, you are shaping it! Working together with our Staff Engineer, you will define what good looks like and how to become a high performing team. You will oversee delivery timelines, scope and are not afraid of making highly impactful decisions. You don’t care about the ticket throughput, you care about work done.</p> <ul> <li class="col-md-6 pull-left"><strong>Ambiguity: </strong>You are not afraid of working with ambiguous requirements and turning them into concrete deliverables. You are comfortable making trade-off decisions and understand that “perfect is the enemy of done”. </li> <li><strong>Team Evolution:</strong> You act as a coach and a talent magnet. You will be responsible for the growth, performance, and structure of the Platform unit, ensuring we have a vocal, collaborative, and high-performing culture through continuous learning.</li> <li><strong>Raise the Bar: </strong>You drive Platform excellence, may it be developer experience, infrastructure or SRE. Communication: You communicate regularly with the other Engineering Managers, manage their expectations and hold them accountable for delivery dependencies.</li> </ul> <h3>The Profile: The Practical Strategist</h3> <p>We are looking for a leader who builds high-performing teams. Whether your background is in Platform, Backend, or Data Engineering, you are someone who thrives on solving "the hard stuff", is motivated to educate themself and never leaves a job 80% finished. This is your chance to shape a Platform Domain from the ground up. </p> <ul> <li><strong>High Agency:</strong> You don't wait for permission to fix a glaring problem. You build the business case, get the buy-in, and get it done. </li> <li><strong>Execution-Focused:</strong> You have a track record of taking complex initiatives across the finish line. You understand that "80% done" is often where the most critical technical debt lives, and you have the discipline to drive projects to true 100% completion.</li> <li><strong>Strong opinions, weakly held:</strong> You have strong opinions on how things should be done, but you are Okay to disagree and commit in order to move forward. </li> </ul> <div class="p-rich_text_section"> <div class="p-rich_text_section"> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <h3><a href="https://www.blacklane.com/en/">About Blacklane</a></h3> <p>Our mission is simple but powerful: to become the world’s leading premium, global chauffeur service.
