Would you like to be a catalyst to developing high-performance engineering teams delivering impact towards +200k businesses’ in Denmark? Then e-conomic is the place to go!

The Scope of your role

As our Head of Platform & Infrastructure, you will be leading teams responsible for site reliability engineering, the developer experience and the internal platform and tooling. Working closely with your peers responsible for product development, you will lead your area, setting the strategic direction in alignment with the product strategy and ensuring that product teams are enabled and empowered to do their work, while you are also contributing towards setting the bar for technical excellence.

Your team

You will be part of an engineering leadership team, and work with teams located mainly in Denmark, Romania and Portugal.

We respect that we do not all follow the same daily rhythm, but we also enjoy pairing up and huddling on a regular basis, often mobilizing several people during incidents.
We accept that incidents happen, but we demand that we learn from them and we do not accept finger pointing or scapegoating. We foster and nurture an environment of psychological safety, where teamwork and collaboration is key!
Our customers' happiness is our north star, and our job in engineering is to enable the product organization in delivering customer value and satisfaction. We expect you to champion that mindset, ensuring that you lead your area to focus on the right things at the right time, while continuing to set new standards of excellence from a technical and leadership perspective.
Above all, we are a team! We help each other out when things are tough, and we all help contribute to a culture where we respect and care for each other regardless of role or experience.
