Product Architect & Software Engineer (AI) (m/w/d)

You build and own the software that runs a regulated financial services company - from customer-facing platforms to the tools our team uses every day - and you lead how we put AI to work. Senior role in Munich, reporting to management.

Tasks

• Architecture and product ownership. You design and build software applications across the company - customer platform, contract and asset management, financial workflows, internal tooling - and you decide how they fit together. Not a ticket queue: you own the roadmap, the trade-offs and the result.
• Agentic development. You produce code agentically, review it, and keep the stack in a state you would be proud to hand over.
• Lead AI at LS. You run our AI lab: identify where language models and automation move the business, build prototypes, deliver into production, and monitor them for quality, cost and compliance.
• Integration. You connect the platform with what operations depends on - banking and payment partners, e‑signature, credit data, accounting - and you keep those connections reliable.
• Security and regulation. You treat data protection, auditability and regulatory requirements as guidance from day one, not as a review step at the end.
• Direct line to management. You present options and decisions to the owners directly. Decisions here take few time, not quarters - and they are then yours to deliver.

Requirements

• You have built software that is in production and used every day - and you have carried the architecture of at least one such system from design through operation.
• You have shipped AI features beyond a demo: integrating language models or ML into a real workflow, with evaluation, monitoring and a cost model.
• Broad technical understanding across backend, data, web frontend and cloud infrastructure, and the readiness to own architecture decisions.
• You explain technical decisions to non-technical owners in plain language - and can make the case for them convincingly.
• Fluent English or German.
• Based in or willing to relocate to Munich.

Helpful, not required

• Experience in a regulated or financial environment (leasing, banking, payments, insurance). Curiosity about the challenges of building software in a regulated environment matters more.

Benefits

• €90,000-120,000 fixed , depending on experience.
• A mandate, not a job description. You build the next generation of asset-based finance software - on the foundation of 35 years in the business. Decisions are made by the owners, in the same room, usually within days.
• Munich, four days in the office, one day remote. A growing team that makes decisions quickly and together - and we want you in the room when they are made.
• 30 days of annual leave and the stability of a family-owned business in its second generation.
