Your role in the team

  • You will take on the disciplinary leadership of the bocoa team, which consists of around eight developers, and actively support the team’s development.
  • You conduct goal-setting, feedback and development conversations, as well as performance reviews; oversee employee development and onboarding; handle purchase requisitions; and submit well-founded staffing requests.
  • You manage your team’s capacity. You always know what’s available, keep track of utilization and absences, and make it clear what an additional commitment means for your team.
  • You facilitate trade-offs between projects, product requirements, support, and quality, assess organizational feasibility, and escalate structural bottlenecks early.
  • You proactively provide early transparency around capacity utilization, conflicting priorities, and risks.
  • You ensure clear delineation of responsibilities within the team and serve as the point of contact for organizational, capacity-related, and structural matters.
  • You work closely with your team’s development lead, who is responsible for technical leadership, as well as with Product Management, Project Management, Quality Assurance, Customer Service, and the other team leads in the department.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • You have completed a degree in computer science or a comparable field, or have equivalent vocational training and relevant professional experience.

Qualifications

  • You have hands-on experience with capacity planning and agile ways of working, and can reliably assess what a team can and cannot deliver.
  • Your leadership style is characterized by clarity, reliability, and having your team’s back. You address bottlenecks openly, including with senior leadership.
  • You deal constructively with different personalities, interests, and conflicts while keeping shared goals and practical solutions in mind.
  • You are willing to undergo a security clearance check and occasionally travel for internal coordination and team meetings.
  • You have fluent German and good English skills.

Experience

  • You have several years of experience in software development, ideally in a .NET environment, and can assess technical questions well enough to communicate with developers as an equal. You won’t need to do any hands-on development in this role.
  • You have experience in the disciplinary management of a team, ideally a development team.
  • Experience in border control, identity verification, or working with public-sector clients is a plus.

What we offer

  • True team spirit: Working in teams that drive change—no matter how complex or extensive the projects are.
  • Societal impact: We work on solutions with game-changing potential across all areas of IT security.
  • Individual development: There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to career growth here. We grow together and support you with what you need to move forward.

  • Flexible working: 12 locations across Germany, mobile office, shared desk model, trust-based working hours, and flexible part-time arrangements. There’s a suitable option for everyone.
  • Sun, beach, or mountains: Working from another EU country? No problem—you can work remotely from anywhere in the EU for up to 20 days per year.
  • Great benefits on top: Look forward to bike leasing, a corporate fitness program, a discounted public transport pass, secudog, and much more.
  • Competitive salary: You can expect an annual target salary starting at €85,000 gross, with the possibility of earning more depending on your qualifications and professional experience. This consists of an attractive base salary and a performance-based bonus.
