Your Role

Hello, I'm Pavel, Senior Director of Engineering at Web Pros and your hiring manager. We're now hiring an Engineering Manager to join our team and help us consolidate our technical solutions across the company into a single unified licensing system.

In this role, you will be working on and act as an architect and individual contributor when needed. You will be focused on a unified technical solution. Your contribution will be to lead the existing team to a unified and modern solution.

You'll thrive here if you love complex enterprise systems with high load and critical business impact. This is not a startup, you will need to modernize and unify while keeping everything working as a charm.

Your Impact in the First 180 Days:

• 30 Days: Became part of the team, learn processes and people, establish regular 1:1 with all team members, get a general overview of the product and technologies
• 60 Days: Get
  - on experience with the product and processes. Try yourself in all relevant roles inside the team: being a developer, QA engineer, being a customer support ticket resolver, being Dev
  Ops engineer, being a presenter on status report meetings.
• 120 Days: Focus on delivery. After 4 months, you should be capable of driving changes related to technology initiatives.
• 180 Days: Proficient in the position, you can already say what is working well, what needs to be improved, and how we can achieve more results faster.

Long-term vision for that position is to focus on efficient integration of all products in the organization with a unified and flexible licensing approach, find effective ways to fight license abuse, and provide more relevant data from products telemetry to the business.

You'll thrive here if you:

• Like to design and build complex engineering systems
• Like to work with high load production services
• Like to improve existing legacy components with elegant modern technologies

You might struggle here if you:

• Because our work requires patience, discipline, and the ability to navigate legacy systems that can be messy sometimes, but incredibly meaningful. You need to be comfortable diving into ambiguity, asking questions, and building clarity through communication.

How We Work

• Our Product: We're building Key Administrator, a unified licensing, billing, and client management platform designed to replace legacy systems inherited from our past acquisitions.
• Communication: We are a fully remote, friendly team distributed mostly in the EEST timezone. Architecture decisions are made collectively as a team.
• Team Setup: Our team currently includes 5 developers, 2 QA engineers, 1 Dev
  Ops engineer, a Product Manager, and YOU.
• Work Methodology: We use a Kanban-inspired approach. No sprints, no traditional planning rituals! We work in streams, continuously delivering value without artificial constraints.
• Rituals & Meetings: We hold daily syncs from 10:45 to 11:00 EEST to stay aligned, weekly meetings to reflect on past progress and discuss industry/company that can affect our plans, and monthly retrospectives to continuously improve how we work.
• Working Hours: Flexible, with alignment expected for any collaborative work.
• Testing Setup: Strong emphasis on automation and left testing. Quality is everyone's responsibility from day one.
• Codebase: 100% of the work is on new features, but we frequently need to dig into legacy code to understand and replicate important business logic, some of which dates back over 25 years in products like c
  Panel and Plesk.
• Tech Stack & Tools: A mix of monolith + microservices, Java21, some Java17, Kotlin, Python, Bash, Spring, Hibernate, Postgre
  SQL, Mongo DB, Kafka, Linux, Docker, Ansible, Jenkins, Selenium, Prometheus, Graylog, Grafana.
