Job Description

We're looking for an experienced software engineer with a track record of technical leadership to join the Rapid Next Platform team. You'll lead a team of four engineers and one contractor, owning both delivery and the day-to-day technical direction of the team. This is a hands‑on lead role, you'll be writing code alongside your team while also setting standards, unblocking people, and keeping the work moving.
2026–2027 is a period of significant change as we consolidate multiple legacy ERP systems into a unified modern platform. The work is complex, the codebase is not always clean, and the expectations are high. That's the context you'll be stepping into.

Your tasks:

Lead a team of 4 engineers + 1 contractor: day‑to‑day guidance, technical direction, and delivery accountability
Contribute hands‑on across the platform stack, this is not a purely managerial role
Define and uphold engineering practices and quality standards within your team
Collaborate closely with product management to scope, plan, and deliver features end‑to‑end
Identify and address technical risk, dependencies, and blockers early
Support the growth and effectiveness of your team members
Technical Environment
- Backend: C# (required) , Java Spring Boot (a strong plus)
- Frontend: React, Vue
- Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)

Your skillset:

Proven experience leading small engineering teams, including direct technical mentorship
Strong C# background with production experience across multiple projects
Experience with AI‑assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.)
Solid grasp of CI/CD, containerization, and cloud infrastructure
Ability to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete technical plans
Ownership mentality — from design through to production
Fluent English (German or Swedish is a plus)

What we offer:

Office spaces in Berlin, Örebro, and Selmsdorf with flexible remote work
Meaningful work as the market leader in funeral technology
Direct influence on the technical direction of a company in transformation
A small engineering leadership group working on foundational platform challenges
Real autonomy over how your team gets work done
