About us

At Holded we've been working towards making life easier for small businesses since 2016. It's an exciting time to join us, having just closed our Series B round at the end of 2020, we have now raised a total of $25m from world-class investors including Elaia (Criteo, Mirakl), Lakestar (Facebook, Spotify & Airbnb) and Nauta Capital (Socialpoint, Privalia). This year we expect to grow the company from 75 to 150 employees.

We are hiring across departments and offer multiple growth opportunities in one of Spain's and Europe's leading scale-ups. Our mission is to create a smart business management solution that covers all areas of business. We replace manual processes with intuitive software to run and automate your business operations, covering Invoicing, Accounting, HR, CRM and Project & Inventory management. We are building a global company, and are looking for passionate people who strive to be the best at what they do.

Join us and help us reinvent the concept of ERP!

The Role

Our Tech Team is organized in squads, each squad is responsible for designing, developing, and operating all services relating to the assigned features, inside the Holded platform. The features can be related to one (or more) of our verticals: Accounting, invoicing, team management, project management, inventory, or/and CRM. The goal is to build a strong and reliable platform, keeping in mind the scalability and performance of the product, creating a safe and fair experience for all our clients. 

Our main language is PHP, however, we are building a microservice architecture written in Golang. We use MongoDB as an operational database.

As a Tech Lead you will need a deep understanding of the product areas, both at the technical and feature level, along with playing a lead role in all phases of software development: planning, designing, implementation, testing, deployment, and day-to-day operation. 

You will be expected to manage your squad team members to the high management standards (1&1 touch bases, career growth, continuous feedback, mentorship, delegate effectively) and provide a clear and time-manner reporting to Ronny Lopez, our CTO.

Your focus will be on your squad's productivity and strive to increase the impact of the team’s work on the product. You will be empowered to make independent decisions for the team partnering effectively with the product, analytics, and other areas of the business.

At Holded, we do things differently. There’s no corporate nonsense, and no old-fashioned hierarchy. Instead, we work in self-sufficient, autonomous teams. Think of them as start-ups within a start-up that learn from each other.

We didn’t start Holded to be another software company. We started Holded to be epic, and you can be part of it!
