Take full technical ownership of a mission-critical, highly regulated financial data platform and shape its future at scale as Engineering Manager for DERICON.
This role offers a rare opportunity to combine deep technical ownership with strategic influence in a regulated financial environment. You will lead the evolution of a complex platform ecosystem, guide multidisciplinary teams, and directly influence how technology supports regulatory compliance and commercial success. With exposure to senior stakeholders, large multiphase projects, and future-focused initiatives such as platform modernisation and AI-driven capabilities, this role provides both technical depth and long-term growth into broader technology leadership.
Your key responsibilities as a Engineering Manager will include:
* Owning the end-to-end system architecture of the DERICON platform, including microservices, data flows, dependencies, and failure modes across the full ecosystem.
* Ensuring regulatory readiness as a deliverable, translating BAIT/DORA/BaFin expectations into technical controls, evidence/documentation, audit support, and measurable security & resilience outcomes while evolving the module-by-feature architecture.
* Leading and developing a multidisciplinary technology organisation, providing clear direction, prioritisation, and technical guidance.
* Hiring and onboarding key engineers, shaping role profiles, running interviews, and ensuring sustainable knowledge transfer.
* Owning production operations end-to-end, including incident & problem management, monitoring/alerting, on call/escalations, post-mortems, and continuous reliability improvements across AWS and CI/CD.
* Owning release & change management, including rollout/rollback strategy, production readiness checks, and controlled change in a regulated environment.
* Providing crisp decision proposals (risk, cost, timeline, compliance impact) to business/compliance stakeholders, and leading technical escalations with senior leadership and auditors when required.
* Steering complex, multiphase projects while balancing risk, regulatory obligations, cost, and delivery timelines.
You will need the following experience and skills to join us as a Engineering Manager:
* You bring proven experience designing and owning end-to-end system architectures within complex microservice environments.
* Proven experience running systems in production (not just building them): incident leadership, reliability improvements, and operational ownership in a microservice ecosystem.
* You have strong hands-on expertise in AWS-based cloud infrastructure, including security, service provisioning, and CI/CD and DevOps tooling.
* You have led multidisciplinary engineering teams, combining technical leadership with coaching, prioritisation, and roadmap alignment.
* You are experienced in working within regulated environments and designing technically sound solutions aligned with frameworks such as BaFin, BAIT, or DORA.
* You communicate complex technical topics clearly and confidently to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership and auditors.
Benefits:
* Enjoy 30 days of annual leave plus half-days on December 24th and 31st.
* Access leave for special occasions, including weddings, bereavements, moving, and family emergencies.
* Benefit from summer, marriage, and Christmas bonuses along with an anniversary bonus.
* Secure peace of mind with group accident insurance.
* Take advantage of versatile/hybrid working and extra leave for professional development (Bildungsurlaub), along with a sabbatical option.
