At Storyous, we help entrepreneurs do what they do best – take care of their customers. Our technology simplifies the operation of cafés, restaurants, and bars, allowing owners to focus on what matters most. We are part of the international fintech group Teya, but in Czechia, we operate as a smaller team with our own culture, energy, and ideas.
As an Engineering Manager on the Storyous team, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the systems that power our customer onboarding and verification across Europe. You’ll lead a team of backend engineers.
This role blends hands-on technical guidance with strong people leadership. You’ll help your team navigate complex engineering challenges, mentor them through their career growth, and foster a culture of technical excellence. You’ll also partner closely with stakeholders in product, compliance, and engineering to deliver features that strike the right balance between security, usability, and automation.
We’re looking for someone curious, thoughtful, and pragmatic—someone who’s excited to solve problems and passionate about building systems that scale quickly and accurately.
