Lead Software Engineer (m/w/d) - Partner Experience

Responsibilities

• Lead our Partner Experience Engineering team, promoting collaboration and ensuring smooth project delivery through close coordination with other teams.
• Explore new ideas, conduct research, and contribute to proposals (RFCs). Work together with colleagues across teams to design and build Proofs of Concept (PoCs) for innovative technical solutions.
• Be hands-on in developing new technologies and driving their implementation.
• Act as a trusted sparring partner to product managers and other stakeholders, shaping solutions to both business and technical challenges.
• Guide the delivery process by applying agile principles, helping the team stay focused and successful.
• Support your team’s growth through feedback, mentoring, and regular check-ins, celebrating progress and addressing challenges early.
• Keep stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the project lifecycle.

Qualifications

• You bring around 10+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally with Node.js and TypeScript.
• You have at least 4 years of experience leading engineering teams — both technically and in people development.
• You’re confident working across the full stack (frontend and backend) and enjoy building cloud-agnostic solutions.
• You’re familiar with public cloud services such as AWS, Vercel, Supabase, GCP, or Azure.
• You communicate clearly, enjoy collaborating across teams, and know how to motivate and empower others.
• Experience in insurance or finance is a plus — but not a must.

Benefits

Together with our investor, AXA, we offer a combination of entrepreneurial freedom, leading technological know-how, reliability and extensive experience in the conception and management of insurance solutions that is rather unusual for the insurance industry.

When you become part of our team, you can expect to work with incredibly versatile and talented colleagues.

• Lead and grow an exciting engineering team, shaping the future of our Partner Experience platform.
• Make an impact by helping define Alteos’ strategy and advancing one of the world’s leading core insurance systems.
• Work flexibly in a hybrid setup from our modern office in Berlin’s City-West — with perks like subsidised lunch, BVG ticket discount, company (e-)bike leasing, Urban Sports Club membership, and a mental well-being app.
• Connect beyond work through regular team events and informal get-togethers that make Alteos more than just a workplace.
