Engineering Manager

Our Mission

The way businesses buy stuff is completely broken . Whether it’s SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months , requires 50+ emails , and involves multiple different stakeholders (IT, Legal, InfoSec, Finance, etc.). No one likes the way it is and it’s slowing businesses down .

Omnea’s platform handles the entire purchasing process : giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management & supplier risk assessments. Omnea gives both buyers, and finance & procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.

Given the current market’s increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spend. This is why we’re one of the fastest growing Series A B2B businesses in Europe, backed by tier-1 VCs like Accel , First Round , & Point Nine .

Welcome to Spend Control 2.0 — built for tougher times.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for an exceptional Engineering Manager to join our engineering leadership team & help scale Omnea with us. As we grow from low double-digit to 200+ enterprise customers and through 10x revenue growth in the next 2-3 years, you’ll play a crucial role in building and leading the engineering teams that will drive this growth. You will be responsible for multiple engineering teams, ensuring they deliver high-quality solutions while maintaining the velocity needed in a fast-growing Series A environment.

You’ll be joining us at the most exciting possible time — we raised an initial $5m seed round from two tier 1 VCs and 30+ renowned founders & angel investors in summer 2022 and have since become one of Europe’s fasting growing SaaS businesses. We’ve built an incredible & passionate engineering team of top performers and we’ve shipped our platform to many renowned & happy customers (Lookout, McAfee, Onfido, Typeform, Tractable, etc.), all whilst managing to stay lean & operate efficiently.

Now we’re ready to scale. We are looking for the best software engineers out there to help make Omnea one of Europe’s leading tech businesses: come build with us!
