  • Oversee system architecture decisions and technical design reviews

  • Implement and advocate best practices in agile development, security, and DevOps

  • Improve team collaboration, communication, and accountability

  • Hire, onboard, evaluate, and develop engineers to grow our team and culture

  • Represent the engineering department in leadership meetings and company-wide initiatives

  • Identify and address inefficiencies across the company’s engineering operations

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience leading multiple engineering teams in a SaaS or cloud-native environment

  • Strong technical background in at least one area (e.g., backend, frontend, mobile, data, infrastructure)

  • Deep understanding of agile software development, CI/CD, and DevOps culture

  • Experience in scaling teams, mentoring engineers, and conducting performance reviews

  • Strategic thinker with strong execution skills and a hands-on mindset

  • Excellent communication and leadership skills

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with modern cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)

  • Familiarity with our tech stack (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab, Terraform)

  • Understanding of security best practices

  • Previous experience in printing or enterprise software domains

What We Offer You

A hybrid work model with flexible hours and an inspiring atmosphere in our modern Berlin office right on the Spree. We also provide attractive benefits such as childcare subsidies, a discounted Deutschlandticket, special rates through Bitkom, a BYOD program, Wellpass, employee shares, and regular team events. This way, we ensure a balanced work-life environment in a growing, international SaaS company. We look forward to receiving your application.
