Engineering Manager
About the role
At Instabee, the Network area is a key part of making our delivery experience faster, smarter, and more reliable. We're now looking for an Engineering Manager to lead two of our teams: Box Experience and Capacity & Conversion. These teams have central missions that contribute to shaping the future of our network. As Engineering Manager for these teams you will have a broad and hands-on leadership role. You’ll be part of a team of Engineering Managers, working closely with Product Managers, engineers, and business stakeholders. Your focus will be on building strong teams, developing people, and helping the teams deliver on ambitious goals. If you enjoy switching between people leadership, product thinking and execution, this role will give you plenty of opportunities to grow and make a real impact.
Some of the things you will do
Lead two teams, supporting both daily delivery and long-term development
Create a clear and motivating team environment where psychological safety is a priority
Drive the continuous improvement of the teams’ ways of working

Your future teams
Box Experience. This team works at the intersection of hardware and software. They own the experience of our parcel lockers – making sure the right door opens, the screen responds, and couriers can do their job smoothly.
Capacity & Conversion. This team works with complex optimization problems and algorithms. The work is technical and challenging.
What we're looking for
We’re looking for someone who enjoys leading others and is not afraid to get into the messy parts of team development. You don’t need to be an expert in everything your teams do, but you should care deeply about helping them succeed. We think you’ll enjoy this role if you have:
Previous experience leading engineering teams
Confidence to handle difficult conversations and guide teams through change
A coaching mindset and a passion for building strong team dynamics
The ability to prioritize, communicate clearly and make good decisions
The ability to switch between being a leader and a boss, and the judgement to choose between them
Strong English communication skills (Swedish is a plus)
What you’ll get
We can promise you that you will be challenged, develop your skills and have the opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. If you like changes and want to set new processes and ways of working - this is the place for you!

Get to know us
In 2022, Instabee was founded after combining Budbee and Instabox - two leading last-mile delivery companies with three consumer-facing brands: Budbee, Instabox, and Porterbuddy. Instabee serves millions of consumers across Europe with convenient deliveries and is on track to become the leading European e-commerce enabler. Always with the consumer at heart.
We’re fast, both in terms of parcel delivery and when it comes to growing our business. So far our journey has taken us from Sweden to the rest of Scandinavia and parts of continental Europe, but we have no plans on stopping anytime soon. As we continue to expand, the complexity of Instabee grows in parallel. With that in mind, we’re now looking for you to help us on the journey ahead.
