  • They drive refactoring and technical modernization, reduce technical debt and improve the developer experience through pragmatic standards and tooling.

  • They optimize performance, costs and scaling, evaluate technical options and document architectural decisions in an understandable and audit-ready manner.
  • They establish and live up to quality standards (code reviews, automated tests, definition of done) and provide comprehensible, maintainable and expandable solutions.
  • They automate build, test and deployment (CI/CD) processes and continuously improve team delivery capability, release stability and time-to-market.

Your profile

  • You bring relevant experience for Billing & Revenue and can lead complex projects into the implementation in a structured manner.
  • Practice with modern toolchains (Git, CI/CD, Testing) as well as the willingness to set standards and improve the quality in the team measurably.
  • Bonus: Knowledge of security/compliance (e.g. B. GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI DSS) and experience with auditable documentation.
  • Strong communication and moderation capability to clarify requirements, involve stakeholders and communicate technical topics in an understandable way.
  • Very good knowledge of German or English in words and writing as well as the ability to work effectively even in distributed teams.
  • Team-oriented work in cross-functional setups; you provide constructive feedback, share knowledge and actively contribute to the development of the team.

  • Experience in cloud/container environments and a solid understanding of operations, monitoring and security fundamentals in distributed systems.
