Your role in the team
- You lead our software delivery through technical excellence: you own the architecture and technical design, set the quality, security, and release frameworks everything ships through, and act as the technical counterpart to senior architects on the customer side.
- You work AI-native by default, building the agentic workflows that let a small, high-calibre team deliver reliably at scale.
- Own architecture and technical design: decide what to build and how in a regulated environment.
- Design for security and scale: secure-by-design, sound identity and access, and reliable performance under load.
- Set and maintain the technical bar: quality assurance, release and change management, IT security.
- Own verification: the testing strategy and CI gates that prove what ships is correct and on-spec.
- Build practical AI leverage: agentic workflows with the evaluation and guardrail mechanisms that make AI output reliable.
- Be the technical face to customers: engage senior client-side architects in workshops and due diligence.
- Support the growth of the engineers around you through mentoring, code review, and technical guidance.
- Coordinate the team: work allocation, delivery rhythm, and day-to-day execution.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Hands-on AI development (a must): uses coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) on real work; builds agentic systems, not just prompts a chatbot.
- Strong distributed systems and API design skills, with a security-focused approach to OAuth/OIDC and data protection.
- Rigorous about quality: comfortable shaping automated testing strategy and CI discipline, and verifying rather than assuming.
- A systems and critical-thinking mindset: able to reason about risk in both software and the surrounding process or policy.
- Familiarity with GDPR, BaFin/MaRisk, PSD2, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 is helpful.
- Strong customer-facing communication skills and the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Fluent English.
Experience
- 6+ years of experience building production software, with the expertise to contribute hands-on and help guide technical decisions.
- Experience in highly regulated, process-driven industries is a strong plus; banking/FinTech is especially relevant.
- Cloud experience with GCP preferred (or AWS/Azure), plus IaC, containers, and CI/CD.
What we offer
- We offer a genuine career step into management, with room to grow as the company scales.
- In the technical leadership role, you own the architecture and technical direction, set the standard, and build the hard parts yourself.
- We value thoughtful engineering, direct communication, and practical problem-solving.
- We also use AI tools where they genuinely improve engineering output and are looking for someone who is curious, pragmatic, and open to learning.
