Successful businesses think globally - but complex compliance challenges create significant barriers to global operations, forcing teams to spend vast amounts of time, money, and energy on administration instead of strategic priorities.

Traditional compliance approaches are too slow, vague, and expensive for modern business dynamics. That's why we've built the platform that automates compliance and duty of care for business travel, workations, and international assignments.

Our vision: A world where global business knows no borders - where compliance is effortless, so growth has no limits.

Your role in this mission: We are seeking an experienced Software Engineering Team Lead who is passionate about building scalable products, driving technical excellence, and fostering a culture of collaboration and growth. You’ll lead by example - balancing hands-on coding with strategic decision-making while guiding your team through the full product lifecycle.

What you will do

Together with your team, you will plan, develop, and operate one of our products. As a leader at WorkFlex, you’ll combine hands-on technical work with people and project leadership across four key areas:

Technical Leadership

• Lead by example through coding, reviewing, and providing technical guidance. We expect a 50/50 split for coding/managing from our engineering managers.
• Shape architecture and design decisions to build scalable systems.
• Mentor engineers and foster a culture of learning, innovation and knowledge-sharing.
• Know how to utilize the modern way of working to its fullest. AI permeates all our products, internal tools and processes. We expect you to know what tasks can be delegated to agents and which ones cannot based on your experience.

People Management

• Recruit, onboard, and develop top engineering talent. We aim for engineering teams of around 4-6 people.
• Drive performance and career growth through regular feedback, goal-setting and motivation.

Project Management

• Own delivery timelines and quality standards.
• Align technical efforts with product and business goals.

Communication

• Ensure clear, open communication and alignment across the team and with other engineering or business teams to promote transparency and knowledge sharing.

What you need to succeed

• 5+ years of experience leading software engineering teams.
• Strong coding skills and passion for technology.
• Proficient in Spring Boot, Java, Angular, TypeScript, databases, and DevOps technologies.
• Proactive and self-driven, thriving in a fast-paced, fully-remote environment. If you have not worked in a fully-remote setup before, be aware that managing a fully-remote work-from-home team will come with different challenges than on-site, especially regarding async workload management and burn-out prevention.
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Excellent communication skills and fluent in English.

If you don't possess all the required skills and experiences but feel passionate about this role, don't hesitate to apply. We value ambition and a willingness to learn, and we're happy to discuss your candidacy for this position!

Why join us at WorkFlex

• Contribute to building the future of the fastest-growing HR Tech start-up in Germany backed by prominent customers such as Scout24, Vodafone, Biontech, and others, as well as funding from top-tier VC and angel investors.
• A monthly budget of €200 to spend on co-working space and/or sports subscriptions.
• VSOPs (Virtual Stock Options) to share in our success.
• Work from anywhere in a remote-only company and go on workations for up to 183 days a year.
• Merit-based culture with substantial growth opportunities.
• Trust-based work – organize your own schedule. We want to celebrate results, not hours spent working.
• Collaborative team culture where everyone's input is valued to shape the sales efforts, approaches, and processes.
