About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You lead our software delivery through technical excellence: you own the architecture and technical design, set the quality, security, and release frameworks everything ships through, and act as the technical counterpart to senior architects on the customer side.
You work AI-native by default, building the agentic workflows that let a small, high-calibre team deliver reliably at scale.
Own architecture and technical design: decide what to build and how in a regulated environment.
Design for security and scale: secure-by-design, sound identity and access, and reliable performance under load.
Set and maintain the technical bar: quality assurance, release and change management, IT security.
Own verification: the testing strategy and CI gates that prove what ships is correct and on-spec.
Build practical AI leverage: agentic workflows with the evaluation and guardrail mechanisms that make AI output reliable.
Be the technical face to customers: engage senior client-side architects in workshops and due diligence.
Support the growth of the engineers around you through mentoring, code review, and technical guidance.
Coordinate the team: work allocation, delivery rhythm, and day-to-day execution.

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years building production software, with the depth to contribute hands-on and help guide technical decisions
Hands-on AI development (a must): coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) on real work; builds agentic systems, not just prompts a chatbot
Strong distributed-systems and API design skills, with a security-minded approach to OAuth/OIDC and data protection
Rigorous about quality: comfortable shaping automated testing strategy and CI discipline, and verifying rather than assuming
A systems and critical-thinking mindset: able to reason about risk in both software and the surrounding process or policy
Experience in highly regulated, process-driven industries is a strong plus; banking/FinTech is especially relevant
Familiarity with GDPR, BaFin/MaRisk, PSD2, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 is helpful
Strong customer-facing communication and the ability to work well with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Cloud experience with GCP preferred (or AWS/Azure), plus IaC, containers, and CI/CD
Fluent English.
Desirable: German; Python (FastAPI), React/TypeScript, GCP stack; data-intensive pipelines over large transaction datasets; privacy-enhancing tech / MPC; anti-financial-crime domain (AML/KYC/fraud).
