## Job description

### About the Company

Affinidi is a technology company dedicated to changing data ownership for good. We empower businesses and individuals with control and ownership of their data, with a comprehensive approach to managing their holistic identity – accounting for all aspects of their digital footprint while ensuring privacy and security.

Affinidi’s technology enables users to benefit from decentralised digital identity solutions. We believe that everyone has the right to own and control their data, and we are committed to creating a trusted digital credentials ecosystem that empowers businesses and individuals to securely exchange data and services across borders and industries.

### About the role:

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineering Manager with deep expertise in backend systems (TypeScript, microservices, cloud) to lead multiple engineering teams building the Affinidi Elements platform. While you will manage and support teams working across the full stack (backend, frontend, platform infrastructure), your technical depth and demonstrated experience in backend engineering will be crucial in guiding architecture, ensuring quality, and driving technical strategy.

This role blends people leadership with technical leadership: you will grow high-performing fullstack teams, define best practices across the stack, and remain hands-on in critical technical decisions to ensure our systems are secure, scalable, and performant.

Our work culture at Affinidi is shaped by the following tenets:

- We are unapologetically customer-focused

- We invest in cultures and teams to enable high performance

- Embraces experimentation and builds fast

- We have the courage to be misunderstood

- We work together to unlock data

### What’s in it for you:

- Lead multiple engineering teams, providing vision, direction, and coaching to managers, staff engineers, and senior ICs

- Drive engineering execution and on-time delivery of secure, performant, and customer-centric systems

- Oversee and contribute to the design and development of high-scale, high-performance distributed production systems

- Collaborate with product, design, and business stakeholders to define and execute the technology roadmap

- Establish and evolve engineering best practices, delivery processes, and quality standards to scale effectively

- Mentor and develop engineering leaders, fostering career growth, leadership depth, and technical excellence

- Stay ahead of emerging technologies, bringing innovative approaches to improve scalability, architecture, and developer experience

- Champion privacy by design, security-first principles, and high-quality engineering across backend and frontend systems

### You will be a great match if you:

- Proven track record of leading engineering organizations in global, high-growth environments while driving on-time delivery of high-quality systems at scale

- Possess strong leadership skills: coaching, mentoring, developing leaders, and fostering high-performing, inclusive teams

- Are skilled at balancing strategic vision with practical execution, aligning engineering teams with business outcomes

- Possess strong knowledge of TypeScript/Node.js; Dart experience is preferred; familiarity with C#, Go, or similar is a plus

- Have experience with React/Next.js and/or Flutter, demonstrates solid understanding of modern web and/or mobile development practices

- Demonstrate proven success in designing, deploying, and scaling microservices in cloud environments, specifically, Amazon Web Services (AWS)

- Advocate for privacy, security, cryptography, and resilient system design; experience with asynchronous cryptography and identity/authentication domains is a strong plus

- Are skilled at balancing technical leadership and people leadership, growing teams while staying engaged in critical technical decisions

- Excel at cross-functional collaboration with product, design, and security stakeholders

- Thrive in fast-moving startup environments, building autonomous teams that experiment, learn, and deliver at speed

### Bonus points:

- Experience working across functions, locations, and time zones

- Backend expertise in RUST

- Expertise in decentralized identity solutions

- Experience building systems with advanced cryptography requirements

### What can you expect from us:

- Hybrid working model

- Flexible working hours

- Unlimited vacation policy

- Competitive compensation package

- Work within international environment

- Learning Budget

- Mobile Allowance

- Home Office Allowance

- Urban Sport Membership

Sounds like you? Apply now!

### Equal Opportunity

We believe in hiring different and diverse talent and providing a safe space where everyone can share their views without fear, where differences are celebrated, and where no one is left out. Inclusive cultures are the foundation for collaboration and innovation within our team.

### Privacy Notice

By applying for this position, you confirm that you have read and understood Affinidi’s Candidate Privacy Policy, and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data for recruitment purposes, as described in the policy.

**Live in Affinidi’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
