Build and evolve components in our self-developed identity and security platform used across 150+ global sites. As a Lead Developer, you'll own the technical direction of key services (from design to production), lead by example in implementation, and work closely with a dedicated SRE team that runs and operates the solutions—so you can focus on building robust software.
Your role:
* Lead the design and development of cloud-native services and platform components (security, IAM/SSO, data/observability).
* Translate product and security requirements into robust architectures and high-quality implementations.
* Drive engineering best practices (code quality, testing, reviews, CI/CD, secure-by-design).
* Collaborate with SREs to ensure reliability, scalability, and operational excellence (SLIs/SLOs, incident learnings, hardening).
* Mentor engineers and enable the team to deliver sustainably and confidently.
Who you are:
* Professional software engineering experience with ownership of production systems.
* Strong hands-on development skills (ideally Java ; TypeScript and Go is a plus).
* Solid understanding of microservices and Kubernetes-based delivery.
* Good grasp of security fundamentals (authentication/authorization, secure coding; familiarity with SSO protocols like OIDC/OAuth/SAML is a plus).
* Experience working with modern platform components such as streaming, analytics, and observability stacks is beneficial.
* Interest or experience in IT security (e.g., threat modeling, secure architecture, vulnerability management, or security testing) is beneficial.
* Fluent in English (German is a plus).
Our environment (you'll work with)
* Kubernetes, IaC, GitOps, and a self-hosted, cloud-native ecosystem
* Common technologies across the team: Kafka, Flink, Postgres, Neo4J, Grafana, Elasticsearch, plus Java, TypeScript, Go
* Strong partnership with an experienced SRE team for operations and reliability
