E-commerce is booming — but independent brands still struggle to match the seamless logistics of giants like Amazon. At Bigblue, we're on a mission to change that. We help brands by democratizing best-in-class operations: scaling faster while delivering a five-star customer experience.
Since 2018, we've built a tech-driven logistics platform powering 500+ brands — from fast-growing DTC players to global names like MUJI, Aigle, and Cabaïa. With 110+ employees across Paris, Madrid, and London, our proprietary WMS (Warehouse Management System) Atlas, and a network of 7 warehouses across Europe, we're solving logistics challenges that others haven't dared to tackle — making fulfillment faster, smarter, and greener.
Backed by $20+M in funding and trusted by the next generation of e-commerce leaders, we're scaling rapidly — from 10 million orders in 2024 toward ambitious enterprise expansion. The journey ahead is bold, and we're looking for the right partner to help us lead the way.
Head of Engineering Location: Paris 9th, France Compensation: Base €110-150k + Options: €100-200k (gross value)
You are an experienced people manager, team leader, and hands-on software engineer. You are passionate about simple solutions to complex problems, whether they are product or software. You thrive on growing and enabling people to have the biggest impact possible. You have designed and built complex and mission-critical products and systems, and have seen them scale from 1 engineer to one team and to multiple teams. You've been a consistent example of high standards, growth mindset, and teamwork for your entire team.
As Head of Engineering, you will report to Mathias, our co-CEO, and work hand-in-hand with him and the Product team to grow the team from a flat structure to mission-defined teams. You will be responsible for all software delivery and for goal-setting for engineering. You will recruit, support, and scale our culture of product engineering, innovation, and pragmatism within Engineering. What the job involves
- Directly manage engineers, set up a team management structure, and enable teams to be successful.
- Contribute to growing Bigblue's strong Product Engineering culture. Lead by example by being a proficient, relevant and creative product contributor.
- Own the engineering-wide responsibility for day-to-day execution against priorities while keeping Bigblue's engineering standards extremely high.
- Spearhead extremely high software standards by leading by example and doing code reviews to raise the bar continuously.
- Partner with the co-CEO and the Product team to drive process changes across teams, which ensure our Engineering processes are efficient, collaborative, and foster ownership.
- Partner with Mathias and staff/senior engineers to perform architecture and engineering plan reviews.
- Drive the engineering roadmap to maintain an excellent, AI-enabled developer experience by continuously investing in tooling and removing bottlenecks.
- Source, screen, interview, and hire talented Engineering Managers and Engineers.
- Cultivate a happy, motivated, and energized team. Grow and manage high and low performers into impactful contributors.
- Have led a growing team of engineers through several evolutions of process and organization, with a strong bias for action.
- Demonstrated technical depth and experience in full-stack, distributed systems. Enough to dive deep with an engineer, ask the risk questions, and build a precise understanding of Bigblue's stack.
- Track record of outstanding people management, ability to influence and engage direct, indirect reports, and peers.
- Exceptional written, oral, interpersonal, and presentation skills and an ability to interface with executive-level management, board of directors, and staff. Professional English, conversational French.
