Tech Lead Fullstack – Angular, Java

Role Overview

• You shape the technical future
• You take technical responsibility for your area — from architecture to production operation.
• You define target visions, make well-founded architecture and build-vs-buy decisions, and set clear technical guardrails for our modern Java/Spring Boot and Angular/TypeScript landscape.
• You challenge existing solutions, monitor market and technology trends, and evolve our systems deliberately with the goal of actively shaping the market rather than following it.
• You bridge product and engineering
• You work closely with Product and stakeholders and translate business goals into actionable technical approaches.
• You critically question requirements, make dependencies and risks transparent, and support informed decision-making.
• You assess AI potential and integrate it where it creates real value — whether in the development process or in the product.
• You keep delivery, quality and costs in view
• You own the technical perspective for Discovery & Delivery holistically, with a focus on architecture, quality and cost/benefit trade-offs.
• You avoid unnecessary complexity and make clear decisions about where innovation makes sense.
• You think technology through to operations
• You uphold our high code and quality standards and ensure we can continue to release quickly and reliably.
• You think beyond the merge request, spot structural weaknesses early, and ensure stability, maintainability and transparency in production.
• You provide technical orientation
• You work with experienced developers who take ownership and argue on equal terms.
• Through sparring, feedback and shared guardrails you help them take responsibility and make technical decisions with confidence.

Requirements

• Several years of experience developing complex software systems and in technical leadership roles, e.g., Tech Lead, Senior Engineer or Staff Engineer
• A strong sense for architecture, system design and sustainable technical decisions in mature/legacy system landscapes
• Experience aligning with Product and stakeholders and translating business requirements into technical tasks, taking responsibility for the feedback loop on technical decisions
• Multiple years of experience with Java / Spring Boot and TypeScript / Angular, preferably with recent versions
• Confident handling of APIs, integrations, distributed systems and CI/CD for production-grade software development
• High standards for code quality, clear technical principles and test coverage (ideally including Playwright)
• Good understanding of stability, scalability and maintainability in production — including under increasing traffic
• Enjoy empowering your colleagues through guidance, sparring and clear decisions
• Interest in applying new technologies pragmatically and integrating AI capabilities into the product where appropriate (e.g., experience with Claude Code, Copilot or similar)
