Engineering Manager - Shop 6.0 - DC15

Your new role
This role is for CODE LEAP's client company - JTL-Software.
JTL-Software is one of Germany's leading providers of e-commerce and ERP solutions. More than 50,000 retailers rely on JTL every day to run their business. Our global development center in Vietnam is looking for talented people to build the next generation of these products. You'll work in an international team that pairs German software quality and Vietnamese speed to innovate.
JTL Shop 6.0 is a new, cloud-native multi-shop SaaS platform: headless, API-first, built on Microsoft Azure, and closely integrated with the JTL ERP Cloud as the leading cloud ERP system. The goal is a scalable, economically operable platform that lets growth-oriented merchants run multiple shops, brands, and markets from a single backend. To build this platform - from architecture through MVP launch - we are assembling a new, interdisciplinary project team.
As Engineering Manager / Delivery Manager, you take on overall technical and organizational responsibility for delivering JTL Shop 6.0 - across frontend, backend, and infrastructure. You plan scope and milestones, make key architectural decisions together with the senior engineers, and ensure that a complex, cross-team project is delivered reliably and to a high standard of quality.
