Engineering Manager (Backend), Consumer Alliance

Join our R&D Tech Hub in Warsaw

We’re building a new R&D Tech Hub in Poland and are looking for people who want to make a real impact from day one. You’ll be part of a globally connected team, helping to shape the culture and ways of working at our new location. This is a hands-on role in a supportive environment, where collaboration, learning, and adaptability are key.

We value practical problem-solving, diverse perspectives, and people who take ownership. If you're ready to contribute to meaningful projects and help lay the foundation for a growing team, we’d like to hear from you.

Your squad owns how a customer's order comes into being and is tracked: subscription orders created at cutoff and one-time purchases placed on demand, plus order tracking. This is the order-processing backbone that turns a customer's intent into a placed, accurate, trackable order across our global brands.

This is a backend-first role at its core. Order processing is where correctness, resilience, and scale matter most: every order must be accurate, idempotent, and traceable, and the platform must hold up at HelloFresh scale — around 7 million active customers across 18 countries, with close to 1 billion meals delivered a year. At the same time, you and your team will work in a cross-functional squad with product, frontend, and data.

We are looking for a leader who brings deep backend engineering judgement and is energised by collaborating across disciplines to make HelloFresh better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don't “tick all the boxes” but think you'd thrive in this role, we'd really like to learn more about you.

What you’ll do

Lead, inspire and grow a cross-functional team of 7 engineers, ensuring smooth del
