Jobbeschreibung

Overview

At QuantumDiamonds, we turn quantum physics into real-world impact. As Software Team Lead for our quantum sensing software platform, you will play a dual role: leading a cross-functional team of backend and frontend engineers while shaping the product vision and roadmap for our cutting-edge microscopy software.

Working closely with our Software Architect, other Product Owners, and stakeholders across hardware, machine learning, and data science, you’ll ensure we deliver high-quality, user-centric software that powers our quantum sensing tools. Your mission: bridge business and technology, inspire your team, and translate customer needs into impactful features that push the limits of what’s measurable.

Founded

Founded in 2022 as a spin-off of TU Munich, QD leverages quantum sensors to rapidly capture three-dimensional current maps within multi-layer chips. Our 30-strong team of physicists, engineers, and data scientists works side by side with major semiconductor manufacturers, helping them in chip debugging and accelerating their yield analysis. Backed by top-tier deep tech investors, semiconductor experts, and strategic public programs, we have ensured long-term stability, shifting from breakthrough to scale — and shaping the next chapter in chip testing.

What will you do

• Own the product vision and roadmap for our quantum sensing software platform, aligning business value with technical feasibility.
• Lead and empower a team of backend and frontend engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration, growth, and excellence.
• Work closely with the Software Architect to ensure scalable, high-quality technical solutions without sacrificing delivery speed.
• Our technology stack includes C++ and Python, with UI development in Qt and CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions.
• Collaborate with other Product Owners to manage dependencies and ensure cross-product alignment.
• Translate customer and stakeholder needs into clear product requirements and well-prioritized backlogs.
• Monitor delivery progress, manage risks, and ensure your team consistently delivers value on time.
• Act as the bridge between engineering, stakeholders, and customers, communicating priorities and results with clarity.

What is expected of you

• 5+ years of experience in software product development, with at least 2 years in a leadership or product ownership role.
• Strong background in managing cross-functional software teams (backend, frontend, or full-stack), ideally in a startup or scale-up environment.
• Proven ability to translate business goals into technical priorities and drive product delivery end to end.
• Experience in backlog management, agile methodologies, and stakeholder communication.
• Excellent collaboration skills — able to align with engineers, architects, other POs, and executives.
• A hands-on, proactive mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Experience with scientific software, hardware-in-the-loop systems, or semiconductor tools.

Mission & Benefits

• Competitive salary with equity participation.
• 30 days of paid vacation plus public holidays.
• Company-sponsored Wellpass membership.
• Annual learning and development budget.
• Regular off-sites and team events.
