What you can expect

Do you want to play an active role in driving a company’s growth and turning big plans into reality? Then join our team! You can look forward to exciting challenges, an inspiring environment, and a work culture that combines flexibility and collaboration – with our 60/40 hybrid model and modern offices in Ratingen as a hub for ideas. As part of our team, you will take on the following responsibilities:

• You own the vision, mission, and execution of the Developer Platform and Cloud Platform, driving their strategic development, technical evolution, maintenance, and overall quality.
• You take end-to-end ownership of technical product components, including APIs, platform services, integrations, cloud building blocks, and shared platform capabilities.
• You act as the central interface between business, architecture, engineering, and operations, ensuring strong alignment between platform capabilities and overall product strategy.
• You translate requirements from product, domain, and business teams (software, data, and AI) into clear, actionable technical requirements and platform solutions that enable teams effectively.
• You govern technical quality and non-functional requirements, especially security, scalability, resilience, and observability, while continuously maintaining and improving technical documentation such as API specifications, ADRs, and operational guidelines.
• You identify and manage technical debt, steer targeted platform modernization initiatives, and continuously evolve the platform through API standards, reusable patterns, and shared solutions for domain teams.

What makes you stand out

• You have a deep technical understanding of developer portals (e.g. Backstage), modern software architectures, APIs and event‑driven architectures, cloud technologies (Azure), Kubernetes, microservices, and CI/CD pipelines.
• You have experience collaborating closely with cross‑functional engineering teams across backend, frontend, cloud, data, AI, and DevOps.
• You are well‑versed in agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and bring solid experience in product ownership within agile environments.
• You have a strong understanding of non‑functional requirements such as security, availability, resilience, and observability, and consistently consider them in technical decision‑making.
• You are able to identify, assess, and manage technical debt and modernization needs with a structured, priority‑driven approach.
• You excel in communication and decision‑making, explain technical concepts clearly to non‑technical stakeholders, and work analytically and effectively in international, cross‑functional teams.
