Backend Engineering Manager

Who we are 

Yubo is the Social Discovery app to make new friends and hang out online. By eliminating likes and follows, we empower our users to create genuine connections and show up as their true selves. 

We've pioneered a new way for Gen Z to socialize online, and with millions of active users, our goal is to redefine how we connect today and tomorrow. 

Our team is international, multicultural and deeply committed to its mission. As the leading platform to socialize online, we have a special responsibility to build a safe digital space for our community. Safety is embedded in our DNA, and our proactive approach focuses on user protection, support, and education. We also work closely with the broader technology industry to share our knowledge and NGOs create industry-leading child protection standards. 

Join us in this exciting journey and help us shape the future of social interactions! 

About this role

Our Backend department is made up of 3 teams, each team having a clear technical mission aligned with Yubo’s strategic objectives. As Engineering Manager, you will be in charge of leading one of those teams.

The Backend Foundations team is a cornerstone of this setup. Its goal is to deliver robust internal backend foundations (libraries, tooling, developer experience, performance observability) as well as operational internal applications. The team also serves as a key partner to Infrastructure and Security teams to ensure the scalability and resilience of our stack.

The Engineering Manager will ensure high execution standards, define long-term technical foundations, grow the team, and guarantee that the work delivered by Foundations enables the entire engineering organization to move faster and safer.
