Product Engineering Lead

Role overview Lead technical delivery for a software product that helps organizations manage security compliance. This is a hands-on engineering role: you’ll write and ship code, own system design for major work, and help the team raise its pace and product quality. Over time, you’ll take on more responsibility for technical hiring and team leadership as the organization grows.

Responsibilities - Join the codebase and deliver a meaningful product feature, then continue shipping regularly with the team. - Write specifications, make architecture decisions, and guide major technical work through production. - Improve how the team builds, tests, reviews, and secures software so work moves faster without sacrificing quality. - Pair with engineers and provide technical guidance, with a focus on delivery, engineering standards, and effective use of AI tools. - Take ownership of technical interviews and develop a repeatable candidate evaluation process. - Shape technical organization and hiring as the engineering team expands.

Requirements - 8+ years of software engineering experience at senior or staff level, including at least one year leading a team of three or more as a tech lead. - Production experience shipping AI features, such as retrieval, RAG, or agentic workflows, and the ability to assess their reliability on real customer data. - Strong product judgment and hands-on production use of Claude Code and Cursor. - Experience leading system design, writing specifications, owning architecture, and delivering systems to production. - Strong object-oriented programming fundamentals and experience with Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, or equivalent technologies. - Relational database design, SQL optimization, engineering candidate interviews, and availability during European working hours.

Nice to have - People management experience, experience creating a technical interview process, or experience working at a fully remote organization.

Benefits and work setup - Fully remote in EMEA, with Germany preferred and CET/CEST working hours expected. - Equity, annual learning budget, workspace and co-working support, health coverage, 26 days of holiday plus local public holidays, and an annual team retreat. - Company-provided laptop, monitors, and headphones.
