Your job

As an Engineering Manager with a hands-on mindset, you will lead a cross-functional team responsible for Statista's internal Content Tooling platform — a key enabler for our in-house researchers and data engineers. In close collaboration with a strong Product Manager, you'll be at the forefront of building AI-enabled content production at scale. Together, you’ll shape the roadmap, empower a senior engineering team, and deliver high-quality, scalable, and cost-efficient solutions.

What you’ll do:

• Lead a team of backend, frontend, and QA engineers — creating a supportive environment where people can grow and do their best work

• Collaborate closely with Product to define and deliver on a clear vision and roadmap

• Support the team in architectural and technical decision-making, while not being expected to contribute code regularly

• Drive engineering excellence and accountability for the stability, performance, and maintainability of the tools you build and own

• Lead and deliver migration projects — Statista has a long history of building internal tools; you'll work to consolidate what’s still valuable and phase out the obsolete

• Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and partner with data engineers and architects to develop powerful internal content automation and tooling

Your skills

• 3+ years of experience leading cross-functional, product-oriented engineering teams

• Solid grasp of full-stack development, ideally with Java, React, and both relational and NoSQL databases

• Strong understanding of distributed system design, particularly microservice architectures

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset — you build strong relationships with senior engineers, product peers, other engineering managers, and various stakeholders

• Familiarity with building applications on AWS

• Bonus: experience developing GUI-heavy internal tools or platforms
