After rapid strategic acquisitions, QIMA is at an inflection point as we transition from start-up velocity to scale-up sophistication. We're building the processes, systems, and teams to support our next phase of growth while maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit that got us here. Job Description QIMA is hiring a Senior Manager of Data & Web Engineering to lead the engineering function behind our revenue growth engine — the data, APIs, websites, and automations that connect marketing, sales, product, operations, and finance. QIMA has committed publicly to becoming the most AI-, data-, and technology-forward company in the TIC industry, and this team is central to that ambition. Reporting to the VP of Marketing Data & Technology, you will set the architectural direction for a team of data, software, and web engineers, make AI a core part of how the function designs, builds, and operates. You will have a passion for solutions which bring simplicity, efficiency, and scalability to existing processes and future growth platforms. Key Responsibilities - Customer Data Strategy: Own the codebase, APIs, and automations behind customer data flows across websites, registrations, leads, pipeline, and reporting. Simplify, scale, and introduce AI to existing processes; build a clear roadmap to eliminate technical debt and business cases for investment or cross-departmental collaboration. - Web & Digital Strategy: Own the global QIMA website and 20+ acquired customer-facing websites, and the cross-functional alignment that drives commercial value across all sites. Manage PII and GDPR compliance across all relevant systems. - Marketing Systems Architecture: Design and improve the architecture that ingests data from web, CMS, email, social, search, and advertising sources and makes it understandable and usable in CRM and customer-facing systems. - Scalability & Integration: QIMA acquires rapidly. Build the playbook, tooling, and governance to integrate acquired websites, CRMs, marketing stacks, and customer databases into QIMA’s platforms quickly and safely. Commercial continuity must be preserved without cost acceleration. - AI & Process Automation: Embed AI into how the team designs, builds, tests, and operates. Partner with the QIMA AI Squad to identify where AI agents can replace repetitive, rules-based work across the revenue pipeline, freeing engineering capacity for higher-value architecture and integration. - Data as the Foundation for AI: QIMA's data and documentation quality directly determines the quality of every AI system built on top of it. Own the standards, monitoring, and remediation that keep customer data, pipeline data, and cross-platform connections fit for purpose. - Documentation & Knowledge Management: Establish the standards, tools, and cadence to capture how systems work, how processes run, and why decisions were made. Treat documentation as a product which drives AI effectiveness; treat undocumented knowledge as a risk. - Team Leadership in an AI-Augmented Environment: Lead an AI-fluent team of engineers, supported by contractors and agencies where specialist depth is needed short-term. Coach the team to work effectively alongside AI tooling and agents, raise the bar on what each individual delivers, and protect weekly time for every team member to develop genuine AI proficiency — including yourself.

Qualifications Required Skills - Leadership: Proven management of data and web teams, with a grasp of the distinct project lifecycles, skill sets, and cultural needs of the data discipline. Able to bridge frontend user design and backend data architecture, and keep the team aligned to business goals. - Technical Expertise: Hands-on across API and data pipeline development, modern website architecture, and CRM platforms. AI-native engineering practice, with day-to-day use of AI-assisted development tooling and practical experience integrating large language models into production workflows (API orchestration, prompt design, context management, evals, cost-aware architecture). A clear view on where agentic AI patterns add value and where they do not. - Systems Architecture: Deep experience managing architecture for customer-facing technology — capturing data from CMS, web forms, MAP software, CRM, APIs, and third parties — and applying data warehousing principles to the flow and storage of customer data. - Analytical & Problem-Solving: Prioritises important and urgent work in an environment of continuous iteration. Translates complex problems into phased, practical solutions and specifies plans clearly for technical implementors and business stakeholders alike. - Communication & Collaboration: Operates with full transparency on pipelines, delivery timelines, and performance metrics across departments. Communicates credibly with both technical stakeholders and senior business leaders. Required Experience - 5+ years managing a team of data engineers - 6+ years combined experience with Python and PHP, or equivalent modern web and data languages; comfort reading and refactoring legacy Perl is a plus, given the historic QIMA codebase - 2+ years with MySQL or PostgreSQL - 2+ years using and building REST APIs - Current, day-to-day use of AI-assisted development tooling (for example Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as a core part of engineering practice - Practical experience integrating LLMs into production workflows (API orchestration, prompt design, context management, evals, cost-aware architecture); exposure to agentic AI patterns a strong plus - Integration experience with a CRM platform, ideally Zoho - Building or managing large static websites (for example 11ty, Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby) and working with a CMS, ideally Contentful Additional Information What we offer: - A temporary contract with the possibility of extension and eventually unlimited contract - Incorporation in a young and dynamic corporate environment - Excellent learning and development opportunities to expand your skills and knowledge - A dynamic and inclusive work environment with diverse and passionate colleagues - A company culture that values respect, diversity, and social responsibility - Company bonus package - Advanced technology in a modern workplace Flexible working hours - Team building activities, company outings, and parties to build camaraderie - Department: Marketing - Workplace Type: Remote - City: Madrid

About Us At Cast & Crew, we’ve empowered creativity and supported the global entertainment industry for decades. Together with our family of brands - Backstage, CAPS, Checks & Balances, Final Draft, Media Services, Sargent-Disc, and The TEAM Companies – we operate as a combined entertainment technology and services provider offering industry standard screenwriting accounting software, digital payroll products, data & reporting, and a host of creative tools. The industry continues to move faster than ever, and the need for our expertise, our technology, and our people has never been greater. We are a production’s best ally every step of the way. #OneCastOneCrew We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead and transform a critical product engineering team. The team currently maintains a mature, revenue-generating platform built on legacy Java/Spring, JSP-based front ends, SQL Server stored procedures, and an aging reporting stack. The Engineering Manager will own the full modernization roadmap — migrating from legacy Java/Spring to modern Spring Boot microservices, replacing stored-procedure-heavy data logic with clean application-layer code, rebuilding JSP front ends in React (or a comparable modern UI framework), and upgrading the reporting system from its current legacy tooling to a modern, maintainable stack. Simultaneously, they will stand up the SDLC practices, working with DevOps upgrade CI/CD pipelines, observability, and production support processes that the team needs to ship confidently and respond to incidents quickly. Key Responsibilities Platform Modernization - Lead the migration from legacy Java/Spring (non-Boot) to Spring Boot, establishing modular service boundaries, externalized configuration, and modern dependency management. - Systematically refactor business logic currently embedded in SQL Server stored procedures into well-tested application-layer code, improving testability, portability, and developer comprehension. - Define and execute the front-end migration from JSP pages to a modern component-based UI stack (React preferred), including API contract design between the new front end and back-end services. - Upgrade the reporting system from its current legacy platform to a modern reporting solution, coordinating with stakeholders to preserve report fidelity while improving maintainability and performance. - Establish architectural guardrails (ADRs, tech radar, code-review standards) that keep modernization coherent across the team. Production Stability & Incident Management - Triage and prioritize the existing backlog of production defects; create a transparent burn-down plan with clear ownership and SLAs. - Implement a structured incident-response process: severity definitions, on-call rotation, blameless post-mortems, and follow-through on corrective actions. - Drive root-cause analysis for recurring production issues and convert findings into permanent fixes rather than repeated band-aids. - Establish production readiness reviews for all releases to prevent regression and reduce escaped defects. SDLC, CI/CD & Engineering Practices - Stand up a complete software development lifecycle: version-control workflow (branching strategy, PR reviews), automated build/test pipelines, artifact management, environment promotion, and release management. - Introduce or mature CI/CD tooling so that every merge triggers automated unit, integration, and smoke tests before reaching production. - Implement comprehensive monitoring and observability: application metrics, log aggregation, alerting thresholds, dashboards, and distributed tracing where appropriate. - Define and enforce code-quality gates (static analysis, test coverage minimums, security scanning) in the pipeline. - Document runbooks, on-call procedures, and operational playbooks so the team can respond to issues without depending on tribal knowledge. People Leadership & Team Development - Manage, coach, and grow a team of software engineers; conduct regular 1:1s, provide timely feedback, and support career development. - Build a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and psychological safety where engineers feel empowered to raise concerns and propose better approaches. - Partner with recruiting to attract strong engineering talent — the modernization story is a selling point, so articulate the vision compellingly. - Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, QA, Data, and Infrastructure teams to align priorities and dependencies. - Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly to senior leadership; provide regular, data-backed status on modernization milestones and production health. Required Qualifications - 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 2 years in a people-management or technical-lead role with direct reports. - Deep hands-on experience with Java and the Spring ecosystem; direct experience migrating from legacy Spring (XML-config, WAR deployments) to Spring Boot. - Strong SQL and relational-database skills, with demonstrated experience refactoring stored-procedure-heavy architectures into application-layer logic. - Production experience with modern front-end frameworks (React strongly preferred; Vue or Angular acceptable) and familiarity with API-first front-end/back-end integration patterns. - Track record of setting up or significantly improving CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and monitoring/observability stacks. - Proven ability to manage competing priorities: simultaneous production firefighting and strategic modernization. - Strong communication skills — comfortable presenting roadmaps and trade-offs to both engineers and senior business stakeholders. Preferred Qualifications - Experience in payroll, financial services, or other regulated/high-accuracy domains where data correctness is non-negotiable. - Familiarity with reporting-platform migrations (e.g., Crystal Reports, SSRS, Jasper, Stimulsoft, or similar) and understanding of pixel-perfect document generation requirements. - Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS or Azure). - Familiarity with Agile/Scrum at a practical level — not ceremony for ceremony’s sake, but effective sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives.
