Head of Engineering (m/f/d) / Technical Lead (m/f/d)

Job Description

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering (m/f/d) / Technical Lead (m/f/d) - someone who combines architectural vision, delivery focus, and hands-on leadership. You’ll guide multiple squads, ensure engineering quality, and help teams ship effectively while staying close enough to the code to unblock issues and keep the system moving.

Your tasks

• Partner with Product: turn product goals into actionable, outcome-focused technical plan with a strong understanding of how modern apps and platform services interact with a grown product portfolio anchored by a mission-critical ERP
• Lead technical direction across multiple initiatives: design, trade-offs, platform evolution, and system integrity
• Own architecture: define clear technical patterns and guardrails that balance speed with maintainability
• Be the escalation point for engineers: support teams in resolving complex technical issues, with the backing of the VP of Engineering
• Raise engineering quality: strengthen testing, CI/CD, release practices, observability, and performance
• Drive operational excellence: guide incident response, security improvements, and reliability reviews
• Drive AI transformation in engineering: help your team to effectively work with AI tools through the complete SDLC
• Grow teams technically: mentor tech leads and senior engineers

Your profile

• Strong hands-on cloud architecture experience (AWS preferred): scaling, load balancing, messaging, caching, and deployment automation
• Deep experience with C# / .NET and Angular; familiarity with PostgreSQL and Azure SQL. You've built and maintained backend services that integrate with complex, long-lived systems.
• Proven technical leadership - you’ve led multiple squads as a Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or similar role
• Experience leading or contributing to the development of AI-powered products and features is considered a strong plus
• AI-assisted engineering mindset - you drive adoption across teams: context management, workflow integration, measuring impact, and continuously evolving on how your engineers work with AI.
• Full SDLC ownership: from design and CI/CD to monitoring and incident response
• Familiarity with CRM or ERP-style workflows and the constraints of mission-critical business applications
• Very nice to have: Experience with API integration into legacy/ERP systems — building stable, well-documented interfaces on top of systems that weren't designed for it

Your benefits

• Collaboration in an empathetic and appreciative team, with a passion for progressive tech solutions
• You can utilise your knowledge and personal strengths, gain further qualifications and develop yourself further
• You start with structured onboarding and learn on the job, in training sessions or in informal learning formats, e.g. zvoove Garage in interdisciplinary projects and international teams
• You have the opportunity to participate in the benefits of our hybrid work concept, which includes working in the office, home office, mobile work and workation
• A technology landscape that combines modern cloud-native services with a mature ERP platform — you'll work with both, and that's by design.
• Variety of benefits, e.g. pension scheme, health management - including employee discounts

I look forward to receiving your application
