We need to ensure that we can cost-effectively meet this growing demand on our API and data platform. We are also making continuous investments in observability, performance monitoring and build automation to increase the productivity of our engineers.

**Specific responsibilities for this role include**:

- Deeply understand the needs of our internal users and ensure that we build the tools, processes and infrastructure to support them.
- Provide line management for our platform and data engineering teams, ensuring the ongoing growth of the people, skills, tools and processes.

- Experience coaching and providing feedback on individual and team performance, to ensure delivery of high-quality work meeting the needs of our internal users and business.
- Strong interpersonal, communications and presentation skills. Able to articulate problems and solutions in a clear and concise manner. Able to clearly communicate platform goals and requirements to a wide range of partners and stakeholders, including senior executive management.
- Ability to juggle multiple projects, activities and deliverables while preserving platform goals and the needs of the team. Ability to balance near-term deliverables and long-term planning.
- A product-minded mindset. You have an interest in why decisions are made, how people use our platform and you love to be involved in making product decisions.
- Experience hiring a range of people and job roles to grow and develop the team’s capabilities.

English is a must. We are a multicultural team, and we are providing a service in English so, we don't care about certificates, but we expect you to be able to communicate fluently.

You should feel equally comfortable communicating in long-form writing. Given the circumstances, we have become a fully remote company. We believe that being articulate in both spoken and written long-form asynchronous communication is key to working efficiently together.

**Life at Lingokids**

Unlimited remote working: you can choose to work from home indefinitely or attend our Madrid headquarters whenever you feel like it. This position is open to anyone within +/- 2 hours of the CET timezone.

️ Flexible hours and work-life balance: we care about the results you bring to the team. 9 to 6 and constant commuting is not for us either.
