Your role in the team

  • Would you like to design and own complex, highly scalable backend architectures—and take on genuine technical leadership rather than just writing code?
  • At Accenture, you’ll work in international project teams on sophisticated software solutions for renowned clients across a range of industries, combining technical excellence with a hands-on consulting approach.
  • As Lead Developer (all genders), you take technical responsibility for backend architectures and lead the implementation of complex software solutions throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
  • In doing so, you connect microservices, event-driven and distributed systems with cloud-native patterns and DevOps practices.
  • You take technical ownership of backend architectures and design and optimize microservices architectures, event-driven systems, and highly available distributed systems for clients across a range of industries.
  • You act as the technical point of contact for your team and support junior and mid-level developers through code reviews, pair programming, and mentoring.
  • You ensure technical excellence throughout the entire development lifecycle.
  • You actively contribute to architectural decisions, technology evaluations, and project strategies, help shape agile processes, and, as an experienced sparring partner, influence the technical direction of our company.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • You have completed a degree in computer science, business informatics, or a comparable field, or have an equivalent qualification gained through many years of practical experience.

Qualifications

  • Ideally, you have experience with DevOps practices and tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and CI/CD, as well as cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud-native patterns.
  • You have a strong commitment to quality and consistently apply Clean Code, SOLID principles, TDD, and automated testing in practice.
  • You communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively at different levels, from developers to the CTO, and are fluent in German and English.

Experience

  • You have at least 5 years of professional experience in Java backend development, ideally including 2+ years in a technical leadership role, and have an advanced command of Java (11+) and frameworks such as Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, or Quarkus.
  • You have extensive experience in designing and operating microservices, event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ), and distributed systems, as well as strong knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases, including database optimization.
  • Initial experience in developing AI agents is also an advantage.

What we offer

  • A flexible working model that gives you the option to work remotely, manage your own overtime account, and actively shape your working hours.
  • Access to comprehensive training opportunities covering the latest technology trends and soft skills, so you can always stay up to date.
  • Diverse and equal team members are very important to us, and to strengthen team cohesion, we regularly organize events and activities for you and your team.
  • An attractive, market-competitive compensation package that you can shape through your individual goal achievement.
  • Additional benefits that we believe should be standard but shouldn’t be overlooked: employee discounts, the option to lease a company bike or car at corporate rates, participation in our stock program, insurance and retirement savings options, and much more.
