About the job

Teamlead Software Development | Remote, Germany

Tired of team lead roles where "people leadership" quietly turns into admin work and zero time in the codebase? This one is built differently. You'll lead a team of engineers, sit as an equal alongside the existing team leads, and still spend roughly half your week hands-on with architecture and code.

You'll be joining a profitable, fast-growing technology group at a real inflection point. As the organisation scales, this role has been created specifically to bring stronger structure and people leadership into engineering, with clear room to grow as the company expands further.

The role:

→ Take full people management responsibility for your engineers across several product teams.

→ Work with the Tech Leadership Team to set technical OKRs and help engineers deliver against them.

→ Play an active role in interviews, onboarding and the ongoing development of new engineers.

→ Stay close to the codebase for roughly half your time, contributing to architecture reviews and the modernisation of legacy systems.

→ Operate as a peer to existing team leads, leading through clarity and technical credibility rather than hierarchy.

What you'll need:

→ Several years of experience as a team lead with direct, disciplinary responsibility for multiple engineers.

→ A strong software engineering background and a genuine wish to remain technically hands-on alongside people leadership.

→ Experience operating within a matrix organisation, with separate product and people leadership lines.

→ A structured, empathetic approach to feedback, performance conversations and career development.

→ Fluent German and confident working English.
