We operate in domains where security, reliability, and engineering excellence are essential.

In this international environment, you will lead a multidisciplinary engineering team working mostly remotely across different US regions.

• Champion engineering excellence, including modern CI/CD, cloud automation, AI assistance, code reviews, monitoring, and documentation.

• Serve as the primary operational link between the US engineering team and the leadership organization in Germany.

• Partner closely with California branch management on HR, operational processes, and organizational alignment.

• Participate credibly in architectural discussions across AI/ML pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and core software systems.

• Identify delivery bottlenecks and implement lightweight processes that scale across international time zones.

• 7+ years in software engineering, with 2+ years managing cross-disciplinary technical teams (software, AI/ML, and DevOps).

• Strong technical background in at least one core area (AI/ML systems, cloud backend, or DevOps) with working fluency across the others.

• Proven track record of hiring, coaching, performance management, and building psychological safety in remote or distributed environments.

• Excellent cross-cultural communication and stakeholder management skills across executive levels, time zones, and global sites.

• Strong delivery management skills, including pragmatic prioritization, workload delegation, and trade-off decision-making.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI/ML, or a related technical discipline.

• Production experience with AI/ML systems or high-reliability cloud and edge architectures (preferred).

• Experience in regulated or safety-critical industrial sectors, or familiarity with AI governance frameworks like the EU AI Act (preferred).
