Engineering Manager - Frontend

Global migration is a 21st-century reality: Whether people are fleeing from something or racing towards better opportunity, finding love, or looking to experience new cultures, people are now living side by side in a new way. At Rebtel, we believe in tearing down borders – from the geographical borders that complicate international communication and money transfers to the cultural borders that keep people divided. We’re on a mission to build products serving the 2 billion modern internationals of the world. We offer work, communication, and remittance services for anyone that has crossed a border:
Our team mirrors our global audience:  we are a diverse team of people from 24 different countries that get together everyday – and we’d love for you to join us. Do you have what it takes?
 
Rebtel is looking for an Engineering Manager
 
About Rebtel's Frontend team
Our frontend is how our users perceive us and interact with us. Rebtel started by offering a best-in-class international calling experience and has complemented that with mobile top ups, money transfer and gift card offerings in our application. We are fast becoming the online version of the kiosks that many immigrants resort to when they need to communicate with and send money to their loved ones. 
The frontend team builds the web and mobile applications that allow our customers to use our services. This team obsesses with delivering an unrivaled user experience: allowing users to quickly find and purchase the best fitting products. The frontend also gives ample audience to our users to give their impression of our offering and express their wishes. 
Our mobile apps have more than 10M downloads across App Store and Play Store, and our website is visited by millions of users. The frontend team builds for scale and for a global audience, making ours a setup that offers exciting challenges and a chance to work with cutting edge technologies. 
The engineering manager’s responsibility, in a nutshell, is to ensure that we have the right people, working on the right things, using the right tools and processes. The frontend team is agile, working in constant collaboration with other functional teams. When not obsessing with customer-facing products, they are revisiting our tech stack, making sure it is abreast with modern best practices.
