Who we are:
We are simple system – a fast-growing B2B SaaS company based in Munich and Cologne, developing industry-leading procurement software incl. a state-of-the-art B2B marketplace for mid-sized businesses across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. With 23 ,000+ monthly users , 850+ suppliers and partners , €150M+ in platform transaction volume and a 40-person team , we are building the next generation of B2B commerce. And we’re just getting started.
What we do:
Imagine this: A worker on the shop floor grabs the second-last pair of cut-resistant gloves from a smart shelf. The next day, 50 new gloves from the preferred supplier arrive automatically. The order is cleanly booked into the customer’s ERP, and the employee’s personal budget is updated – without anyone lifting a finger. We make this end-to-end automation a reality. Technologically, we map this complex multi-sided business model onto a modern, fully re-engineered tech stack. This enables us to rapidly develop and scale sophisticated use cases – from pilot to full deployment – together with our customers, suppliers, and partners.
Team & Technology:
The engineering team works closely with business and product, has an impact on the product development roadmap and full autonomy of the tools and technologies used. At simple system we build the best product in the market by fighting for the best solution internally – the engineering perspective being on eye level with the business and product perspective. Our B2B solution has been designed and developed according to modern methodologies and principles. You will be joining a cross-functional team of very experienced engineers , who believe in making great products and have all the technical skills to make it happen. Occasionally, we meet together to discuss the most important project matters and get to know each other during project workshops (on-site in Warsaw or Munich).
What you will do:

• Lead and develop our cross-functional software engineering team of currently 13 engineers
• Own and evolve product architecture with a clear focus on flexibility, scalability, and sustainable quality
• Set engineering standards, foster best practices and build an environment that empowers developers to thrive
• Work closely with product, business and leadership to align technical decisions with customer needs and business goals
• You report directly to the CEO and are part of the leadership team
