Engineering Manager, Consumer Alliance (m/f/x)
Category Software Engineering Location Berlin, Berlin, Germany
At HelloFresh, our mission is simple: to change the way people eat, forever. As a global digital-native FMCG company and the world's leading mealkit provider, we are transforming the traditional food supply chain through a data-driven, on-demand model that enables scalable and more sustainable food delivery. The HelloFresh Group includes eight brands serving customers across multiple meal occasions, including HelloFresh, Green Chef, EveryPlate, and Chefs Plate, as well as ready-to-eat meals from Factor and YouFoodz, meat and seafood subscriptions through Good Chop, and pet nutrition with The Pets Table. Through technology, data, and culinary innovation, we deliver personalized food experiences to millions of households worldwide.
About the role: What's in the Box
As the Engineering Manager for the Deliveries squad at HelloFresh, you will lead the engineering vision and execution for how customers control their box week to week. Your squad owns the systems that keep a subscription flexing with the customer's life: skip, pause and resume, reschedule, delivery cadence, delivery day, and address changes — the controls a customer uses before an order locks in at cutoff — along with the home and delivery feed that surfaces them.
Delivery planning is where correctness, resilience, and scale matter most: every change a customer makes must be applied accurately and in time before cutoff, 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. 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: The Recipe
- Lead, inspire and grow a cross-functional team of engineers (backend and frontend), ensuring smooth delivery and continuous improvement of the Deliveries systems and tech real estate.
- Own the architecture and reliability of the delivery-control experience — skip, pause and resume, reschedule, cadence, delivery day, and address — with a strong focus on correctness, applying changes in time before cutoff, data integrity, and operational excellence.
- Drive design decisions for scalable, event-driven services (e.g., Kafka) that apply high volumes of delivery changes reliably, with the highest quality and resilience standards.
- Operate as an engineering leader within a cross-functional squad: partner closely with product, frontend, and data to deliver end-to-end customer outcomes and make joint decisions across disciplines.
- Champion observability, on-call health, and incident readiness so delivery changes stay accurate and available around the clock.
- Actively contribute to hiring and capacity planning, conduct regular code reviews, and mentor engineers.
- Drive a continuous improvement culture and promote the HelloFresh DNA.
What you’ll bring: The Ingredients
- You have led a team in an agile environment (5+ engineers), ideally within a cross-functional squad setup.
- You bring 6+ years of hands-on backend development experience.
- Deep experience building scalable microservices and event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka), especially where correctness, idempotency, and data consistency are critical — such as scheduling, subscription management, or other transactional domains.
- Experience designing and operating high-throughput backend systems that other teams and customer-facing surfaces depend on.
- Experience with DevOps practices and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), including observability and production ownership.
- A collaborative mindset and comfort working cross-functionally with product, frontend, and data partners.
- You are an empathetic, strong communicator and active listener.
- You are a self-organized individual who can operate autonomously, solve complex problems, and remove roadblocks.
- You are a humble leader who can motivate a team and drive them to their highest potential.
- Nice to have: experience with React Native.
