About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.

Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.

Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

Things We Care About

We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard.

Speed. We move and we ship. We set bold deadlines and treat every week like it matters.

Ownership. If you see something broken, fix it. We don't wait for permission.

Customer Obsession. Our customers' product is our product.

Ambiguity. We're building frontier technology in a complex domain. You'll need sound judgement and good instincts to make decisions without complete information.

First principles. We don't ask how things have been done before. We ask why they were done that way at all.

The Role

Connect is the customer-facing layer of Gigs. It's where our customers' end users buy, activate and manage mobile connectivity, whether through a fully white-labelled experience or embeddable flows that customers drop into their own apps. Demand for both is growing quickly, and we're at an inflection point. We're deciding how a full white-label product and a set of embeddable flows fit together under one platform and one product vision. That platform is also becoming the foundation other Gigs teams use to launch new verticals and experiments.

You'll form and lead the team building it. The challenge is serving many brands, markets and use cases, plus the internal teams building on top, while helping the organization agree on what Connect is and who it's for. If you like shaping a product's direction rather than only delivering against it, this is a rare chance to do that in a problem space where the market has already validated the bet.

Salary Range:

€130,000- €165,000 + equity

(The final offer depends on your background, skills, and how you perform through the process. We're open to considering different levels, which may result in an adjustment to the scope and compensation)

What You'll Do

Lead, support, and grow a team of software engineers working on Connect, our platform for embedding connectivity workflows in out partners' applications

Partner with Product and Design to define priorities, shape roadmaps, and deliver high-quality features

Drive technical excellence — from architecture to code reviews to reliability

Create a team environment that balances ambition, ownership, and continuous learning in which people thrive

Drive the use of AI in both the product and the team's day-to-day workflows

Own the hiring and onboarding processes to help scale the team thoughtfully

Step into technical discussions with clarity and pragmatism when needed

What We're Looking For

6+ years of experience leading engineering teams in high-growth, product-driven environments

Strong technical background: you have shipped code at scale, including embedded software that runs inside other companies' products, and can dive deep when needed

Ideally experience with white-labelling and multi-tenancy, and with the challenges that come with them

A thoughtful approach to people management and a track record of growing and developing engineers

Comfort navigating ambiguity and building clarity
