Lead Software Engineer (m/f/d)

• Take technical ownership of Configuration Experience — the team that builds and manages our insurance products — and set the direction for how the team delivers.
• Spend the bulk of your time hands-on: researching technical solutions, writing RFCs, building PoCs with other teams, and shipping the resulting code yourself.
• Act as a sparring partner for product managers and stakeholders on key business and technical decisions.
• Keep delivery on track — plan realistically, follow agile principles, hit deadlines.
• Lead people by example: give feedback, run team meetings, support colleagues' growth. This is a smaller part of the role — most of your time stays technical.
• Spot obstacles early, resolve them, and keep stakeholders proactively informed.

You don't need to tick every box. If this sounds like your kind of work, we want to hear from you.

• Solid hands-on experience as a software engineer with Node.js and TypeScript.
• First experience leading or managing people — you don't need years of management under your belt, but you've done it at least once and want to grow into it further.
• Full-stack understanding across frontend and backend, with a cloud-agnostic mindset.
• Solid experience working with AI tools in your engineering workflow — Harnesses, delegating tasks to subagents, orchestrating multi-agent setups, and similar. Clear communicator, motivated to grow into building and guiding a team over time.
• Insurance or finance experience is a plus.
