Why this grade This listing scored 63/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Freshness 8 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Corroboration 7 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 6 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
-5 Ghost-job penalty — Deducted for signals that this posting may not be a real, currently-open role — staleness, repeated relisting, or talent-pool language.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 18 listings that did publish a figure, median $213k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.

We have built a cutting-edge B2B technology platform that connects bus, rail and ferry operators in 70+ countries with the biggest online retailers including Google Maps and Booking.com.
We are shaping the future of travel and building the largest global network of transport providers and retailers.

Following our recent $80m Series C funding, we are ready to push beyond.
The opportunity
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Search team. The role entails contributing to the product & technical domains of excellence in the main API product that enables large retailers to seamlessly purchase tickets from bus & rail carriers worldwide.
This is a highly skilled, senior engineering team operating in a highly complex, high-throughput, and low-latency domain.
You will be stepping into an area where performance and cost-efficiency are critical, and your biggest challenge will be technical and strategic. With our platform scaling rapidly, your mission is to prepare our architecture for 10x growth. We need a hands-on leader who still fundamentally thinks of themselves as an Engineer, capable of diving deep into the technical weeds while steering the domain's business goals.
What you will do:
Manage, lead, and support an experienced team of engineers, providing coaching, alignment, and performance management.
Take ownership of domain health, ensuring our high-throughput, low-latency systems are robust, scalable, and consistently meeting performance goals.
Drive profitability and cost optimisation, specifically tackling architectural challenges to scale our system 10x without allowing our current infrastructure and storage costs to multiply exponentially.
Act as a hands-on technical leader, staying close to the code, system design, and architecture in a highly complex problem space.
Workplace: Berlin & hybrid / EU & Remote
We are a remote-first company with teams located around the Globe. Also, the HQ office is in Berlin, where the team often meets.
Who you are:
You are an experienced people leader who has successfully managed and supported senior engineering teams.
You think of yourself as an Engineer at heart; you are highly technical, hands-on, and capable of understanding and guiding deeply complex system architectures.
You have a proven track record building, maintaining, and scaling high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems.
You bring a strong business and resource-optimization mindset, with the ability to make strategic architectural decisions that directly impact company profitability and infrastructure costs.
You have strong programming experience in any modern backend language and are excited to lead new development in Rust or Go. You are also adaptable and willing to learn.
You show extreme ownership over your domain's health and are comfortable operating in an environment where technical challenges far outweigh basic language-level syntax issues.
You are fluent in English, both verbally and in writing.
What you can expect:
Make a global impact. Help shape how millions of people discover and book ground transportation worldwide.
Own your work. Take responsibility from day one and see the direct impact of your contributions.
Build with the best tools. We move fast, continuously evolve our tech stack, and invest in modern, efficient solutions.
Work with industry leaders. Our partners include Booking.com, Google Maps, Amtrak, Deutsche Bahn, Renfe, and SNCF.
Grow with exceptional people. Join an international team that will challenge, support, and inspire you every day.
Work your way. Enjoy flexible and remote-friendly working options, relocation opportunities, and plenty of room to grow.
