Full job description
The Sr.ETL is the "Captain" of a single squad. This is a squad leader role focused on delivery predictability, technical excellence, and day-to-day execution. You are a Senior+ Engineer who manages people, not a manager who used to code; if you cannot open the IDE and debug a production issue, you cannot perform this role.
Meet the Job
Delivery Mastery: Optimize the team’s "Idea to Production" cycle time and strengthen delivery predictability.
BS Detector: Use your technical depth to spot unrealistic estimates, fragile designs, or risk blind spots.
Hands-on Leadership: Spend ~50% of your time on system design and ~20% on hands-on development like code reviews and unblocking technical issues.
Conflict Resolution: Mediate interpersonal or cross-team conflicts early to protect team cohesion and delivery.
Talent Density: Team growth performance calibration, involved in hiring , and succession planning for your squad of 6–9 engineers.
Emergency Response: During critical incidents, jump in technically or coordinate the response effectively.
AI-Native Engineering: Lead the adoption of agentic tooling, LLM workflows, and AI automation within your team to accelerate the development lifecycle.
How About You?
You have 5+ years of experience and have shipped production code recently. Web, Mobile, Backend (Angular, Kotlin, Swift, Python, …)
You have an explicit desire or experience leading people but remain an active technical contributor.
You possess high emotional intelligence and resilience under pressure.
You are a strong unblocker who translates and synthesizes rather than just relaying messages.
You are based in Madrid and open to coming into the office once a week.
