Team Lead - Software Engineering

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
