THE ROLE
As Backend Engineering Manager at Macadam, you'll own two things at once: the technical quality of our backend, and the day-to-day leadership of a team of 5 engineers. You'll report directly to the Director of Engineering. This role is based in Barcelona . We're looking for candidates who are already living in the city or ready to relocate.




WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build a robust, scalable architecture and a team that operates autonomously.

What you'll be owning:
- Engineering Excellence: Beyond just shipping, you'll actively improve our backend processes, track performance, and sharpen our delivery lifecycle.
- Collaborative Impact: You'll work closely with our QA and Mobile teams to smooth out the friction in our day-to-day operations.
- The AI Edge: We don't just use AI tools; we lean on them. I'm looking for someone who trusts AI to multiply their output and who will push our team to grow and iterate faster because of it.
- The Reality: You'll be leading a team of 5 backend engineers in a NestJS/TS/Postgres/GCP environment.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- 6+ years of experience in backend development, with production systems at scale.
- Deep expertise in TypeScript and NestJS, you're the person others come to with hard questions.
- Strong Post
