Glovo is part of the Delivery Hero Group, the world’s pioneering local delivery platform, our mission is to deliver an amazing experience—fast, easy, and to your door. Headquartered in Berlin, Germany. The Budget Steering squad builds a holistic approach to budget allocation and optimization for performance marketing — from quarterly planning to monthly optimization down to daily decisions at campaign and ad-group level. Budget decisions must be made continuously, under uncertainty and with imperfect data Our goal is simple to state and hard to solve: invest each euro where it generates the biggest leverage , across scenarios ranging from volume maximization to payback-based allocation. We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a cross-functional squad of engineers and data scientists , own a large-scale production service the business depends on daily, and turn ambiguous commercial questions into reliable, model-driven decision products . This role requires a strong technical foundation — in backend engineering or in data science / ML — combined with the leadership to grow people and the pragmatism to partner closely with Product and business stakeholders. Lead engineers and data scientists across the full product lifecycle — from problem framing to production and adoption Build a culture of ownership,
proactiveness and high engineering standards Own the budgeting lifecycle end to end Take accountability for budget allocation across every dimension and timeline — from strategic quarterly allocation to daily bid and budget changes at campaign level Consolidate a fragmented tool stack into a single budgeting platform with coherent interfaces, ownership and roadmap Balance methodological rigor with business constraints — budget caps, pacing and channel dependencies Set the bar for reliability and data quality : uptime, correctness of allocation, and validated inputs and outputs across every source Ensure solutions are built as decision products , not one-off analyses — tested, monitored, documented and reproducible Work with Product Managers to define scope, trade-offs and timelines, and to set common, measurable goals across planning cycles Navigate a complex stakeholder network spanning marketing, finance, analytics and central platform teams Software Engineering: strong backend background, building scalable and reliable applications used in production every day ML / MLOps or Data Science: deep expertise across the ML lifecycle and its tooling ecosystem People Leadership: Proven track record leading and mentoring engineers and/or data scientists, growing individuals and taking accountability for a large-scale production service. Building Systems Where Modelling Is the Core: Experience delivering scalable,
reliable applications with data science modelling at their centre — where the model output is the product, not a supporting artefact. Comfort with production-grade practices: modular design, testing, CI/CD, monitoring, version control and modern data/ML stacks. Understanding of performance marketing: budget allocation and optimization, bidding, attribution, and the dynamics of incrementality, diminishing returns and cross-channel interactions . Experience building bidders or budget optimization systems is a strong plus.
