  • You take end-to-end ownership of features or services – from requirements recording through design/implementation to stable handover into productive operation.
  • You create understandable documentation, promote knowledge exchange (pairing, reviews, brown bags) and support teammates with onboarding.
  • You establish and live quality standards (code reviews, automated tests, definition of done) and ensure comprehensible, maintainable and expandable solutions.
  • You will participate in architectural and technology decisions and introduce best practices to increase stability, security and scalability in the long term.
  • You will work closely with Product, Security, Data and Operations and ensure that data protection, compliance and security requirements are taken into account at an early stage.
  • You consistently implement observability (logging, metrics, tracing), derive concrete improvements from incidents and sustainably reduce error classes (RCA/problem management).
  • You analyze business and technical requirements, translate them into implementable user stories/epics and coordinate dependencies transparently with all stakeholders.
  • You automate build, test and deployment (CI/CD) processes and continuously improve the team's deliverability, release stability and time to market.

Your profile

  • You have relevant experience in payments and can lead complex projects into implementation in a structured manner.
  • Analytical thinking and problem-solving skills – you can systematically identify causes and derive sustainable improvements (RCA).
  • Several years of experience in a comparable role with proven success in implementing complex projects in production-critical environments.
  • Team-oriented work in cross-functional setups; You give constructive feedback, share knowledge and actively contribute to the further development of the team.
  • Experience in cloud/container environments and a solid understanding of operations, monitoring and security fundamentals in distributed systems.
  • Strong communication and moderation skills in order to clarify requirements, involve stakeholders and convey technical topics in an understandable manner.
  • Practice with modern toolchains (Git, CI/CD, testing) as well as the willingness to set standards and measurably improve quality in the team.
  • Very good understanding of software architecture, interfaces (API design) and data models as well as the ability to justify technical decisions in a comprehensible manner.
  • Structured, independent way of working with an ownership mentality - you prioritize sensibly, communicate risks early and deliver reliably.

Your benefits

  • Permanent, full-time position with long-term perspective, clear responsibilities and a reliable setup for remote collaboration.
  • Structured training (onboarding plan, mentoring) and a clear development path with regular feedback cycles and further training opportunities.
  • Modern work processes (agile/lean), clean documentation and a team that consistently lives quality, stability and security by design.
  • Team events and exchange formats (remote or on-site) to sustainably promote collaboration, culture and knowledge transfer.
  • Continuing education budget for training, certifications and conferences so that you can continually expand your role professionally and methodically.
