• You shape the technical future. • You take technical ownership of your area — from architecture through to production operations. • You define target architectures, make well-founded architecture and build‑vs‑buy decisions, and set clear technical guardrails for our modern Java/Spring Boot and Angular/TypeScript landscape. • You challenge existing solutions, monitor market and technology trends, and evolve our systems deliberately with the aim of actively shaping the market rather than following it. • You bridge product and technology. • You work closely with Product and stakeholders and translate business goals into actionable technical approaches. • In doing so, you critically evaluate requirements, make dependencies and risks transparent, and support informed decision-making. • You assess AI potential and integrate it deliberately where it creates real value — whether in the development process or in the product. • You keep delivery, quality and costs in view. • You are holistically responsible for the technical perspective across Discovery & Delivery, with a focus on architecture, quality and cost/benefit trade-offs. • You avoid unnecessary complexity and make clear decisions about where innovation makes sense. • You think about technology through to operation. • You maintain our high code and quality standards and ensure we can continue to release quickly and reliably. • You think beyond the merge request, detect structural weaknesses early, and ensure stability, maintainability and transparency in production operations. • You provide technical orientation. • You work with experienced developers who operate autonomously and discuss on equal terms. Through sparring, feedback and shared guardrails you support them in taking responsibility and making technical decisions with confidence.

• You design, develop and take responsibility for a central billing system (C# / .NET, backend) and ensure its stable operation. • You work within an established .NET system landscape and take responsibility for evolving a long-standing codebase. • You analyze complex business and technical relationships and make well-founded technical decisions that sustainably improve and modernize the system. • You work with relational databases, web applications and REST APIs in the .NET environment. • You perform deployments, monitor production operations and follow issues through to robust solutions. • You identify technical debt early, assess it realistically and drive pragmatic, effective modernization. • Within the team you present technical topics clearly, stand by your decisions and provide guidance even in challenging situations.
