Qualifikationen

• University-level degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field.
• 7+ years of relevant industry experience in software engineering, including 2+ years leading and managing engineering teams with a proven track record of shipping digital products.
• Demonstrated people-leadership skills: hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution across cross-functional teams.
• Strong command of at least one major API/web development language and framework — such as Node.js, Python, Ruby on Rails, or Go.
• Ability to shape end-to-end solution architectures across product experiences, APIs, data, integrations, quality, security, and operations.
• Comfort with RESTful APIs, service-oriented architectures, relational, document, and vector databases.
• Familiarity with frontend, mobile, Salesforce, automated testing, CI/CD, and release readiness practices is a strong advantage.
• Practical experience with agent-assisted (AI-assisted) development workflows and a strong point of view on how they change team productivity and quality.
• Experience working in structured, Agile delivery environments with issue-tracking tools such as Jira, in close partnership with product management.
• Exceptionally clear documentation and communication skills, with the ability to thrive in a complex, international organization.
• Fluency in English, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Aufgaben

• Partner with the Product Lead on roadmap and priorities, taking co-responsibility for the outcomes of the product team — delivery, quality and business impact.
• Lead hiring of engineering resources for the team, run high-quality 1:1s and performance reviews, and own headcount planning for your team.
• Develop the people and the culture: coach engineers on skills and growth, resolve conflicts within and across teams, and foster a continuous learning environment.
• Stay technically credible and close to your team’s day-to-day engineering work by supporting design decisions, reviewing code, and contributing hands-on where it adds value to delivery and quality.
• Drive the technical analysis of new projects and features within your product team, ensuring solutions are well understood, feasible, and aligned with agreed engineering standards.
• Partner with Practice Leads to surface platform-specific needs, technical debt, architectural risks, or cases where divergence from paved paths may be required.
• Ensure agent-assisted development workflows and paved paths are effectively adopted and used in day-to-day delivery, and maintain cross-product engineering alignment with peer Engineering Managers.
