Engineering Manager

You know that bit where every company says they're "changing the world"? Yeah, it can feel a little forced. But we like to think our story actually has some realness to it.

Our story begins with Shadi Bitar and Ninos Malki, who came to Sweden from Syria as kids and discovered that books could be a bridge - helping them learn the language, understand the culture, and explore new worlds.

A thought emerged, what if everyone could have that? And just like that, Nextory was born - your all-access pass to read, listen, and discover new perspectives without limits.

And now, we're searching for an Engineering Manager who's ready to lead the way. Turning ideas into experiences that inspire people to start their reading journey with us.

Let us tell you about the role 📚

As an Engineering Manager at Nextory, you'll lead our Join Team - the talented group shaping the web experience at the very beginning of the customer journey with us. You'll play a key role in inspiring potential readers to take their first step into the world of Nextory, combining technical leadership with people development to create seamless, engaging and high-performing digital experiences.

Your work will include:

Managing and empowering a team of five engineers to grow, collaborate, and deliver impact.

Ensuring technical excellence and delivery quality in close collaboration with product and design.

Driving transparency, collaboration, and innovation across teams.
