Java Jobs in Web3

<h3><span >

We're building Bitso's Acquisition engineering function from the ground up, and we need an Engineering Manager who can lead with both code and context. In this hands-on role, you'll split your time between writing production code and building a high-performing team — shaping how Bitso acquires and activates the next generation of crypto users across Latin America.

This isn't a traditional management role where you sit on the sidelines. You'll be deep in the codebase alongside your team while driving the people, processes, and product decisions that make the Acquisition squad successful. If you're energized by the idea of shipping code in the morning and running a career development conversation in the afternoon, this role is for you.

• 2+ years of experience managing engineers, including running performance reviews, career development, and hiring processes
• Strong backend engineering experience, with proficiency in Java and Spring Framework
• Front End development experience. Experience with React and modern web development strongly preferred, though equivalent FE  expertise is welcome
• Proven ability to work autonomously and balance technical execution with management responsibilities
• Experience collaborating directly with Product, Marketing, Design, and Data stakeholders to translate business goals into technical solutions
• Comfortable defining and improving engineering processes, delivery practices, and team workflows

What You Will Do 

• Lead and grow the Acquisition engineering squad, owning both technical delivery and team health
• Write production code alongside your team,  expect to contribute meaningfully to the codebase across backend and web.
• Architect and drive the technical direction for growth infrastructure: acquisition funnels, referral systems, SEO, and landing page platforms
• Run people management processes: 1:1s, performance reviews, career development plans, and hiring as the team scales
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Marketing, Design, and Data Science to define priorities and deliver measurable business outcomes
• Establish and refine engineering processes, delivery cadences, and quality standards for the squad
• Balance feature delivery with technical health, making trade-off decisions transparent to stakeholders
• Champion a culture of experimentation, measurement, and iteration — ensuring Acquisition initiatives are data-informed

Your Team

You will manage a small, high-impact engineering squad currently composed of 2 Software Engineers. As the team matures and Acquisition becomes a larger function within Bitso, you'll play a central role in scaling the team and shaping its culture and technical direction.

Research in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion suggests that individuals may hesitate to apply for jobs if they do not meet all the listed criteria. At Bitso, we value diversity and your unique strengths could be just what we're looking for. If this role excites you but you don't match every point in the description, we still want to hear from you.
