{ { … a_place_to_stay_curious:

Lead and grow a Valencia-based frontend product engineering team to deliver secure, reliable and coherent premium card-management experiences across web, iOS and Android.

- Partner closely with Product, Design, QA and backend owners (Valencia and Berlin) to sequence cross-channel delivery, agree API contracts and remove dependency risks.
- Delegate technical authority by nominating and coaching platform owners; ensure routine technical decisions are made within the team rather than being bottlenecked by the EM.
- Drive the delivery of the first card-management tranche to production and establish a predictable planning and release cadence.
- Set measurable quality thresholds (stability, escaped defects, automated coverage, accessibility) and lead incident learning and continuous improvement efforts.
- Develop engineers through regular 1:1s, feedback, growth plans and performance management; build bench strength and succession coverage for each active platform.
