Job Summary
In this role, you lead agile development teams, embed AI-driven tools in the development process, and design modern software architectures to optimize inventory management and logistics.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You lead, coach, and develop your department heads and their teams, creating an environment where customer orientation, innovation, and excellence are possible.
- You are responsible for the strategic and operational further development of your sub-area: target vision of the product landscape, architecture, platforms, toolchain, and quality understanding – you implement this target vision step by step.
- AI-powered tools firmly embed themselves into your teams' daily development routines - from coding assistants to automated quality assurance - while ensuring the security, traceability, and maintainability of the code.
- You actively shape the role models in your teams under the influence of AI - in development, testing, architecture, product ownership, and business analysis - and jointly adapt skill profiles, staffing plans, and development paths with the department management.
- Make progress measurable: report delivery reliability, lead times, quality, and the reduction of technical debt transparently, and derive measures from it.
- You create the framework for modern architectures and automated processes - from microservices and event-driven architecture to resilient CI/CD pipelines and a lived DevOps culture that shortens the time-to-market.
- You work collaboratively, pragmatically, and solution-oriented with the departments of inventory management and logistics: joint prioritization, reliable commitments, and an open approach to conflicts of objectives.
- Qualify your organization: learning spaces, communities, and concrete practical examples instead of just introducing tools - you take concerns about role changes seriously and address them openly.
- You translate the strategic IT and departmental goals into operational objectives and roadmaps for your sub-area and are responsible for their implementation, visibly within the leadership circle of Agile development.
- You manage your area entrepreneurially: controlling budget, capacities, staffing plan, and sourcing options cost-consciously, while proactively addressing opportunities and risks.
- You ensure the stability and security of the systems you are responsible for - keeping an eye on maintenance status, technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and recoverability.
- Continuously reassess sourcing and partnerships: what performance do internal teams deliver, which partners, and what is increasingly automated with AI.
- You represent your area to stakeholders, in corporate initiatives, and, if necessary, as a deputy for the department management.
