  • Guide architectural decisions, improve engineering standards and processes across teams, and coach engineers in an open feedback culture
  • Drive the adoption of AI-assisted software development within the team and help identify effective AI workflows across the software development lifecycle

  • Experience developing and operating backend services in cloud-native and on-premises environments, using technologies and platforms such as Docker, Kubernetes and AWS
  • Strong DevOps mindset and hands-on experience with CI/CD, test automation and observability
  • Experience providing technical leadership across team boundaries, coaching engineers and driving improvements to engineering practices
  • An ownership mindset: you shape your environment, break down complex problems independently and enjoy moving between domains and unfamiliar systems
  • Clear, respectful communication with engineers, product managers and stakeholders, with fluent English; German is a plus
