This is a high-impact leadership role for a technically accomplished and people-focused engineering leader. You will be responsible for managing and expanding a cross-functional software development team (target size: circa 30 engineers), with most team members based in Zagreb and a smaller group in Ljubljana. The Development Manager will report directly to the Chief Product Officer.
