Engineering Team Lead

We are looking for great engineers with leadership experience, eager of leading a team of ambitious professionals through projects from start to finish. The starting salary for this position is €70,000 annually. You can work from anywhere in the world.

About the team

We are a global team of 100+ awesome people working from over 40 countries around the globe. We hire globally, you work locally — in the heart of London, a beach outside of São Paulo, or a quiet village near Florence, the choice is yours. Every few months we travel to meet up somewhere in the world and spend some quality time together. We place a huge amount of trust in our people, and we measure the outcomes rather than the work itself. Our values fuel our results.

The role

As part of Toggl Track's leadership team, you will lead a team of 4-6 backend and frontend engineers. Taking ownership of one domain of our product, you'll be working closely with product managers and UX designers to deliver real value to our customers with new and improved features.

• being responsible for the well-being and productivity of your team. You will plan your team's work, keep track of progress, and report back to the heads of the product and engineering departments proactively.
• communicating with stakeholders, keeping our company goals in mind, and understanding how to contribute to them with your own team.

Toggl Track is growing as a company and as a product. This position is an opportunity to lead and make an impact with your team as you contribute to our success.
