Team Lead Software Development - Benefit Platform - Remote

Overview

The BLS Group is developing a modern, modular multi‑benefit platform that is being carved out of an existing structure and evolved into a scalable cloud architecture. To support this transformation, we are looking for an experienced technical leader who combines hands‑on execution with the ability to build and lead a strong, cross‑functional software and DevOps team.

In Short

• You are responsible for the architecture, implementation, and operation of modern platform and software components, with a strong focus on microservices, API‑first approaches, and an AWS‑based infrastructure
• You drive the step‑by‑step extraction and modernization of existing systems, advancing the renewal of the current platform and implementing modular, scalable services
• To ensure reliable delivery, you design, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and efficient deployment processes
• You lead, coach, and develop a strong, interdisciplinary engineering and DevOps team, including recruiting, knowledge sharing, and the establishment of agile ways of working
• Through close collaboration with Product Management, Security, IT Infrastructure, and external partners, you ensure clear priorities, sound architectural decisions, and transparency on progress

Requirements

• You have several years of experience in software engineering and the architecture of modern web and cloud systems (e.g. Kotlin, TypeScript, React, Node.js, JVM‑based frameworks)
• You demonstrate strong expertise in microservices design, API‑first models, and cloud operations, particularly on AWS
• You have already taken on technical leadership responsibilities, for example as a Lead Developer, Tech Lead, or Team Lead
• You are confident working with DevOps automation, containerization, Infrastructure as Code, monitoring, and logging
• You also bring solid knowledge of IT security and data protection, ideally in environments similar to ISO 27001
• You speak German with full professional (negotiation‑level) proficiency

Benefits

• A modern tech environment: full‑stack TypeScript, React, Capacitor (mobile), NestJS, and an AWS‑based cloud infrastructure (Infrastructure as Code with Terraform)
• Solid technical equipment — you can freely choose your operating system (Windows or macOS)
• You will be part of our growth journey, with the opportunity to drive initiatives forward and actively shape the future — together, we create strong career prospects
• Back to the office? Not with us! Instead, you can expect maximum flexibility, supported by our modern flexible working hours model and our workation policy
• We believe in true sparring: open communication, honest feedback, and collaboration on equal footing
• Through Probonio, you receive a monthly €50 voucher of your choice — plus an additional €60 annually for your birthday
• In addition to attractive insurance conditions for your company pension scheme, you also receive employer‑funded capital‑forming benefits
• Not currently living in Germany or Austria but willing to relocate? We support you with our relocation package
• And of course, you can lease up to two bicycles or e‑bikes through us as your employer
