What you’ll be dong at Krepling

As a VP of Engineering, you’ll be:

    • Owning engineering at Krepling – establishing best practices for the company, steering us as we scale the team 3x over the next year, pushing the team’s growth and competencies, and unlocking maximum value to improve our end to end delivery

     

    • Embodying the Krepling culture, acting as a role model for the organization and offering inspirational leadership

     

    • Leading and evolving the engineering strategy, implementing a technology vision for the organization

     

    • Evaluating our architecture, technology stack, and engineering org structure to assess if fit for purpose, improving processes where possible to enhance delivery quality and velocity

     

    • Building a ‘best in class’ engineering team by defining the engineering hiring strategy and working closely with group leaders to attract the best talent from around the world

     

    • Creating structured performance reviews to support ongoing professional development within the engineering division

    That being said, these role responsibilities are just the start! At Krepling, we encourage you to contribute wherever your interests take you — and shape your role accordingly. 

    What we’re looking for

    • Tenure in leading and growing global high caliber engineering teams in product-centric orgs – we are looking for someone who’s previously gone through rapid scaling and will bring energy and enthusiasm into doing it all again here

     

    • Highly technical individual, hands-on when it comes to implementing processes across the organization and proven experience leading technical direction

     

    • Expertise in scaling hyper-growth startups from early-stage up to enterprise-level, with tried and tested solutions to combat the associated challenges

     

    • Passion for building a great culture and motivating engineers to perform at their best; we want all of the Krepling team to always be learning, growing, and moving forward in their careers

     

    • Previous experience working with peers to structure product and engineering orgs at scale

     

    • Leadership and communication skills – you can understand your audience and deliver simple but clear messages to all groups, and ideally speak publicly on the achievements of Krepling and the benefits of our product

     

    • Initiative, the ability to think fast, and the ease in communication needed to quickly build rapport, respect and trust from the wider group when you join

     

    • Ambition, drive, and energy – we’re passionate about building the next paradigm within e-commerce and want you to be too

     

    • Good communication skills in both written and spoken English.

    However, even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a role if you meet just 50% of the role’s requirements.
