The role

Welcome to DKB Code Factory....

Lead and grow a Valencia-based frontend product engineering team to deliver secure, reliable and coherent premium card-management experiences across web, iOS and Android. This role combines hands-on technical leadership, people development and delivery ownership-you will hire and coach platform owners, shape frontend architecture and establish predictable delivery practices that enable measurable customer impact and future premium-card capabilities.

What you'll do

{ your_responsibilities: [

Build, hire and onboard a six-engineer cross-platform frontend team (web, iOS, Android) and create clear platform staffing and backup coverage.
Define and operate the team's engineering operating model: code-review standards, CI/CD, automated testing, accessibility, security, observability and release discipline.
Partner closely with Product, Design, QA and backend owners (Valencia and Berlin) to sequence cross-channel delivery, agree API contracts and remove dependency risks.
Delegate technical authority by nominating and coaching platform owners; ensure routine technical decisions are made within the team rather than being bottlenecked by the EM.
Drive the delivery of the first card-management tranche to production and establish a predictable planning and release cadence.
Set measurable quality thresholds (stability, escaped defects, automated coverage, accessibility) and lead incident learning and continuous improvement efforts.
Develop engineers through regular 1:1s, feedback, growth plans and performance management; build bench strength and succession coverage for each active platform.
