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.
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.
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.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to become the world’s leading premium, global chauffeur service. Operating in 50+ countries, we reimagine chauffeur-driven rides by prioritizing reliability, innovation, and first-class service at every step. Blacklane is also at the forefront of sustainable mobility efforts, continuously working to reduce our operational impact on the planet.
Blacklane has grown from a two-person startup in Berlin to a global team of over 300 people representing 54+ nationalities. Our culture is powered by our commitment to three core values: Care, Drive and Excellence.
Care - We are invested in each other's well-being and professional growth.
Drive - We act with pace and determination. We are ambitious, committed to a growth mindset, and champion ownership and delivery.
Excellence - We understand our customers so we can exceed expectations.
We support our people through initiatives like Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), mentorship programs that bring our values to life.
