Do you want to impact society by joining the green mobility revolution?

Here at Cooltra, we make sure that more than a million customers can move freely, the leading company in two-wheel mobility in Europe. Our goal is to transform mobility inside the cities giving the citizens the best experience possible. Our pillars are sustainable mobility and pollution reduction in the environment.

The team

  • We embrace the principles defined in Lean and Extreme Programming methodologies to deliver real customer value.
  • We are proud to have created a safe space where people can learn, grow and, most importantly, have fun.
  • We celebrate our successes and failures and view everything as an opportunity to learn and improve, with no blame attached.
  • We are a Flat and Autonomous Team.
  • Flat: We are a self-managed team with no hierarchical structure through decision-making decentralized and collaborative.
  • Autonomous: We cover not only the full life cycle of product development but the management of the team too.
  • From the discovery of problems to the delivery of solutions without external dependencies.
  • The culture, goals, resourcing, wellbeing and continuous improvement of the team and its members.
  • Team: We always collaborate with members of any background on any work with a clear and common goal.

Here's what you'll do

  • Lead the sustainability of the distributed team management, which is currently responsible for:
  • Promoting (and ensuring compliance with) team principles.
  • Leading the team's continuous improvement strategy.

  • Identifying and resolving internal team situations, beyond retrospectives.
  • Identifying and resolving individual team situations, beyond mentoring.

  • Collaborate constructively in a team that owns product discovery and delivery.
  • Pair/mob most of the time with other team members.
  • Ensure the code quality - testing is an integral part of what we do. We consider QA a skill, not a role.
  • Run and deploy the services that we build. We don't have silos by stack or abilities.
  • Use Kotlin, React, Terraform and AWS too. These are just tools, and we are happy to change them depending on the problem we want to solve.

  • Drive alignment between the team and department regarding goals, principles, and strategy.
  • Define strategy for product development practices and principles.
  • Main interlocutor with C-Level.
