Job description
Your missions
Who we are
A piece of the moon, a complete dinosaur skeleton, the Pope's hat, the world's smallest book - at Catawiki, we come across exceptional objects such as these every day.
Catawiki is the leading online marketplace to buy and sell special objects. We offer over 75,000 special objects in auction every week — each reviewed and selected by one of Catawiki’s hundreds of in-house experts specialised in Art, Design, Jewellery, Fashion, Classic Cars, Collectables and many more.
We've sold 10 million unique items to date and it’s our mission to become the world’s most popular auction destination for special objects.
We’re an innovative, pioneering and fast-growing scale-up. If you think you can make a difference to our team, go ahead and apply.
So what's the job
As an Engineering Manager you will report to a Senior Engineering Manager of a Product Vertical. Your role consists of three parts:
- You are part of the Management team in one of our Verticals (Demand, Supply or Fulfillment) and of the collective of Tech Lead Managers at Catawiki. As such, you play an active role in bringing the vertical forward and shaping the strategy for vertical tech foundations in order to modernize the tech stack and enable faster delivery of product improvements.
- You are responsible and accountable for hiring, coaching, empowering, growing, and assessing/promoting the engineers in your team.
- You will be shaping how the team can deliver on its mission and vision. The most important aspects are:
- Provide leadership and guidance to the engineers in code quality and maintainability, contribute to the design and architecture of the team's domain, support professional growth and development of the engineers
- Partner with the Product and UX peers to detail out the team's roadmap and deliver product initiatives with customer-centricity principles in mind
- Together with the engineers on the team, shape the tech foundations for the team's domain to enable the delivery of new product features in a fast and high-quality manner
- Establish quality metrics to track and analyze the effectiveness of the team's software delivery processes
How we roll - Our Stack
As the biggest marketplace for special items, Catawiki operates in a market, which brings a lot of unusual challenges and opportunities. You will be developing, testing and scaling our microservices, written in Ruby, to handle the high volume served by the platform every single day. We do this by using Infrastructure as Code principles, collaborative peer-reviews, delivering code to production multiple times a day, A/B testing various assumptions, sometimes making mistakes, learning from them, and iterating quickly.
A little about you
We are looking for people who like to make a big impact. We love people who want to make a contribution to further building out our engineering culture and who want to have some fun with their colleagues along the way. Next to this you have
- At least 2 years of experience in a managerial role, with a proven track record of growing engineers
- Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in software development
- Proven track record of leading a team to deliver product initiatives aligned with the business objectives
- Proven track record of partnering with Product and UX peers to design and deliver products
- Experience leading cross-functional teams with stakeholders in a matrix organization
Here’s what we can offer you
This is your chance to join our mission to fulfill people’s passions as part of a young and dynamic organization. You'll be part of an enthusiastic, highly motivated team of 800+ Catawikians.
Additionally, you can expect:
- A challenging role in a diverse, international and fast-growing organisation with over 50 nationalities.
- Regular fun activities both on and offline e.g summer parties, boat rides and regular team events.

Our commitment to you
Catawiki’s eclectic team represents an international and intergenerational mix of people from different professional and cultural backgrounds. We foster an inclusive and queer-friendly work environment, committed to making every Catawikian feel welcomed and empowered. Whatever your story, we encourage you to bring your unique perspective to the table.
Catawiki stands with Ukraine and encourages people displaced by the current conflict to apply. In addition to the several initiatives we’ve launched, we’re open to ideas on ways we can continue to support the humanitarian effort.
Our offices and way of working
We have sensational offices in Amsterdam, Groningen, Paris and our newest office in Lisbon. Most of our employees are within commutable distance of one of our office locations and enjoy a hybrid work model.
