  • They drive refactoring and technical modernization, reduce technical debt and improve the developer experience through pragmatic standards and tooling.
  • They take over end-to-end ownership for features or services – from requirements reception to design/implementation to stable transfer to productive operation.

  • Several years of experience in a comparable role with demonstrable success in the implementation of complex projects in production-critical environments.
  • Bonus: Knowledge of security/compliance (e.g. B. GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI DSS) and experience with auditable documentation.
  • Very good understanding of software architecture, interfaces (API design) and data models as well as the ability to justify technical decisions in a comprehensible way.
  • Team-oriented work in cross-functional setups; you provide constructive feedback, share knowledge and actively contribute to the development of the team.
  • Structured, self-responsible working method with an ownership mentality – you prioritize meaningfully, communicate risks early and deliver reliably.
  • Experience in cloud/container environments and a solid understanding of operations, monitoring and security fundamentals in distributed systems.
  • Practice with modern toolchains (Git, CI/CD, Testing) as well as the willingness to set standards and improve the quality in the team measurably.
  • Strong communication and moderation capability to clarify requirements, involve stakeholders and communicate technical topics in an understandable way.

  • Flexible working hours and an environment that combines results orientation with sustainable work-life balance – including transparent goals and realistic planning.
  • Short decision-making processes, a high level of personal responsibility and the opportunity to design topics with real impact – instead of just working through tickets.
