Associate Data Platform Engineering Manager

From empowering entrepreneurs to build successful businesses, to supporting their clients to arrange 'me time' moments, we’re in the business of elevating people - helping them to thrive and feel fantastic. Lifting others up can be hard, heavy work, and we passionately believe that the sense of purpose and personal satisfaction this brings are worth it.

What started in Poland is now an international, cloud-based marketplace that’s scaling rapidly. We bring independent business owners together with their customers on a product that connects creative communities and opens up worlds of opportunities.

For our providers, our products offer services for getting booked, paid, and building a loyal client base. For their clients, we’re where they can find their favourite spots, discover new businesses and book appointments in an instant.

Working in a rapidly growing, ever-changing scale-up comes with its own set of opportunities and challenges. If you prefer a stable environment, with clear processes and structures then, we've got to be honest, you won't always find that here. However, if you enjoy inventively solving problems with others, helping create clarity when things get confusing, and prioritising your own path within ambiguity, then the chances are that you'll love the opportunities available to grow your career at Booksy.

As an Associate Data Platform Engineering Manager reporting to the Head of Data Engineering in our Data & Analytics - Data Platform Engineering team, your purpose will be to lead a small, high-impact team of 2-3 platform engineers while staying heavily involved in hands-on technical work.

You’ll split your time between people leadership - coaching your team, driving agile delivery, and managing OKRs - and engineering tasks.

• Strong Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Deep, practical experience using Terraform/Terragrunt to architect and manage infrastructure, preferably on Google Cloud Platform.
• Advanced Platform Skillset: Strong familiarity with GCP data services (BigQuery, Cloud Composer, GKE, IAM) and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Platform-as-a-Product Mindset: A strong focus on customer enablement, platform reliability, system governance, and security.
• English Fluency: At a minimum, we require professional English language skills (B2 level or higher). Why? English is our company language and is used for any business-wide communications, so we need you to be able to communicate smoothly to feel like an integrated part of Booksy.
