Job description

We’re on a mission to accelerate automotive ecommerce

 Car companies are spending billions on e-commerce to increase their sales. The problem is their websites and systems aren’t fit for purpose, meaning that customers find incorrect information, broken links and get frustrated and leave.  


That’s why we exist. At drivvn, we help our automotive partners to drive outstanding online experiences that increase sales. Our partners like Stellantis, Ford, VW group and Volvo love working with us because our versatile platform and deep industry expertise means we accelerate time to market, delivering in just weeks instead of months.  Plus, we power and fully manage the entire online sales channel 24/7 making it easy and hassle free.

The Engineering Manager is responsible for leading and mentoring a team of frontend and backend engineers as well as collaborating with QA, Product Design, and the Platform engineering team to continuously deliver value to customers. Engineering managers work closely with Principal and Staff engineers to understand architecture standards, establish engineering best practices, and lead cross-functional teams to ensure successful delivery and alignment with business objectives.
