About Hypoport SE

Hypoport SE is the listed parent company of the Hypoport Group, serving as the central hub for a powerful network revolutionizing markets. As a robust corporate network, we are among the leading players in the FinTech, PropTech, and InsurTech sectors, uniting over 20 autonomous subsidiaries with approximately 2,000 colleagues across Germany.

We invite you to help shape one of our network companies and write your own success story with us. Transformation, future orientation, and dynamism are as integral to our DNA as trust and appreciation.

Do you love good software architecture? So do we. As an Engineering Manager / Tech Lead / Engineering Lead (w/m/d), you can expect an environment where technical excellence, stable platforms, and modern engineering standards make the difference. You will set the technical direction, make clear architectural decisions, and elevate our engineering mindset to the next level – with pragmatism, clarity, and genuine passion for good software.

Work Location: Leipzig, Berlin, Hamburg, Lübeck, or remote across Germany – you decide where you work best.

Your Responsibilities - What You'll Work On:

Architecture & Modernization

Conception, development, and scaling of our core systems (C#/.NET, MS SQL) towards resilient, containerized services on Linux/Kubernetes.
Targeted reduction of internal technical complexity and strengthening of stability, resilience, and maintainability to increase long-term productivity.
Making well-founded architectural and platform decisions and further developing technical standards (modularization, interfaces, security, Infrastructure as Code).
Early integration of non-functional requirements such as observability, performance, scaling, security, and deployment in scoping.

Software Delivery

Technical support for Product Managers in discovery and prioritization processes, and clear explanation of complex technical contexts.
Expansion and optimization of CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) and establishment of Clean Code, code reviews, and automated tests (unit & system tests) with a clear shift-left mindset.
Increasing development speed (time-to-market) through measurably shorter development cycles, more frequent and reliable deployments – with the goal of being able to release productively at any time.
Sustainable quality improvement in software development, measured in part by how rarely productive features need to be rolled back or improved.
Establishment of AI/LLM-supported development in everyday engineering (e.g., Copilot-assisted coding, test generation, knowledge building) to create real added value in the team.

Documentation & Knowledge Building

Active knowledge building instead of siloed knowledge: Taking responsibility for ensuring knowledge is accessible team-wide and not tied to individuals.
Building structured, understandable, and up-to-date process and system documentation that makes relevant architectures, decisions, and processes transparent.
Development and establishment of practical best practice guides, technical standards, and guidelines with a focus on quality and efficiency.

Enablement & Leadership

Disciplinary leadership and coaching of developers in the areas of architecture, clean code, systems thinking, and container/deployment responsibility.
Empowering the team to make independent decisions within clear guardrails; you make the decision if in doubt.
Fast and effective onboarding of new team members through clear structures, good documentation, and systematic knowledge transfer.
Fostering continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and constructive communication. We lead with empathy.
Strengthening ownership for stability and production operations.

Your Profile - What You Bring:

Innovation & Technological Foresight

Experience in integrating new technologies and digital solutions to strengthen processes and competitiveness.
In-depth understanding of the application possibilities and limitations of AI in a corporate context.
Experience in AI/LLM-supported development and ideally in integrating AI-based features.

Solid Development Expertise

Several years of experience in C#/.NET or comparable programming languages, as well as in the technical leadership of developers.
Confident handling of scalable database systems (MS SQL, PostgreSQL) and modern backend architectures (modular services).
Ideally, experience with Angular (v15) and RabbitMQ.
Basic openness to new technologies.

Architecture, Platform & Infrastructure as Code

Practical experience with Docker/Kubernetes, fully automated deployments, and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform).
In-depth knowledge in cutting, scaling, and orchestrating services.

Delivery Excellence & Quality Orientation

Routine in handling Git, Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and automated tests (unit & system tests).
High quality standards without a quick-fix mentality – with pragmatism and a holistic product understanding.

Product & Business Acumen

Product-oriented approach and ability to translate discovery results into clear, structured technical solutions.
Communicating complex technical issues in an audience-appropriate manner – including to non-technical stakeholders.
Ability to prioritize requirements structurally and comprehensibly based on (business) impact and effort.

Leadership Skills & Language

Open, clear, and inspiring leadership – especially during change phases.
English at least C1 (team), German at least B2 (stakeholders).
