• Be a mentor and guide for the team, making sure everyone is aligned with our goals and following good practices.

• Run agile meetings like sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives to keep projects on track.

• Keep everyone in the loop by sharing clear updates on project progress, risks, and timelines.

• Look for ways to improve how the team works, making processes smoother, quality better, and everyone happier.

• Roll up your sleeves and code about 20% of the time, contributing to key projects, reviewing code or building POCs.

Requirements

• You’ve got experience as an Engineering Manager or a similar leadership role in software development.

• You know agile inside and out and have led scrum teams before.

• You’re great at managing projects and can juggle competing priorities like a pro.

• You’re comfortable getting hands-on with coding and know your way around modern programming languages and frameworks (bonus points for Ruby!).

• You’re a creative problem solver who loves coming up with innovative solutions.

• You’re a strong communicator and great at working with different teams.

• If you’re into crypto, fintech, or cutting-edge tech, that’s a huge plus!

Don’t ‘tick all of the boxes? Neither do we. We are driven by hiring not only by experience and relevance for the role but also by ambition. We celebrate anything ‘outside of the box’, so if you don’t meet all of the listed tickbox criteria, please do still apply as we’d love to hear from you.

About us

At Koinly, we are building software to help crypto investors stay compliant with their tax obligations and keep track of their investments. We launched the first version of our platform in 2019 and have since grown to over 1.5M users by solving a highly technical problem and saving our users countless hours of work (see what our customers say). All of this with a small team of super intelligent and dedicated individuals!

Our values & work environment

As a startup we value efficiency above all else. Our team structure is flat and focused where every individual has a critical role that directly impacts our users. You will not find any middle managers or pointless meetings here. Our environment is best suited for people that are hands-on, like to take ownership and most importantly - are self-learners.

Our team is based in Europe so we try to work in the UK timezone but are flexible on the work timings. Everyone is expected to work 40 hours and no more. We highly value people that can prioritise their work, know what tools to use to work efficiently and can set up processes to amplify the impact of their time.

What to expect in your first month

This is the most decisive part of your tenure at Koinly. You will be assessed on your technical skills and how quickly you are able to become operational. A good benchmark is to try Koinly out yourself, if you have a hard time understanding what it does then things will not get any easier. After all, we expect our users to be able to do their taxes with Koinly in under 20 minutes. An interest in crypto (beyond just bitcoin) is a major advantage.
