We have a strong focus on promoting technical excellence – our engineers work at the forefront of financial services innovation using cutting‑edge technologies. Our Berlin location is our most recent addition to our global network of tech centres and growing strongly. We are committed to building a diverse workforce and to creating excellent opportunities for talented engineers and technologists. Our tech teams and business units use agile ways of working to create #GlobalHausbank solutions from our home market.

AFC Technology AFC Technology (AFC Tech) is responsible for designing, building, and operating the technology platforms that enable Deutsche Bank’s Anti‑Financial Crime (AFC) function. This includes delivering secure, resilient, and compliant solutions for transaction monitoring, case management, alerting, and data, while meeting regulatory expectations. AFC Tech partners closely with business, risk, and operations teams to reduce financial crime risk through scalable platforms, strong engineering standards, and continuous modernization.

You will join the AFC Technology organisation in Berlin as a Lead Full Stack Engineer (f/m/x) with a strong focus on UI and frontend architecture. You will co‑lead a UI Platform team responsible for building and evolving a shared frontend platform used across multiple AFC product teams.

While the role includes backend exposure (primarily Java), its primary focus is on modern frontend technologies. You will drive platform‑level frontend solutions, including Angular component libraries, design systems, Node.js build toolchains, micro frontends, performance, accessibility, and long‑term maintainability.

Your key responsibilities

• Co‑lead the UI Platform team, providing hands‑on technical leadership in close collaboration with the Architect / Lead Engineer
• Design, implement and evolve a scalable Angular‑based UI platform, including a large reusable component library and shared frontend capabilities
• Ensure the platform addresses non‑functional requirements such as performance, accessibility, security, usability and long‑term maintainability
• Partner with downstream product teams to enable adoption, gather feedback and continuously improve the platform
• Ensure all platform development complies with bank standards, security requirements and SDLC best practices

• Experience working closely with UX/UI designers to turn design systems into robust engineering solutions
• Strong experience with automated frontend and platform testing (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, component testing, contract testing)

Backend & ecosystem awareness (secondary focus)

• Good understanding of backend systems and APIs, with hands‑on or prior experience in Java‑based environments (e.g. Spring‑based services)
• Strong appreciation of frontend‑to‑backend contracts, API evolution and backwards compatibility
• Exposure to containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud‑native delivery models
• Understanding of DevOps / SRE principles in production‑grade systems
