Engineering Manager - Team Lead (f/m/d)

• You use AI assistants and agents for your daily work tasks, and you know when to critically question their output.
• You are familiar with agentic workflows: you assign multi-step tasks to AI tools, critically review the results, and iterate further.
• You actively follow new developments in AI-assisted software development and share your knowledge with the team. 

Your Responsibilities: 

• You lead development teams professionally and disciplinarily, supporting their technical and personal growth.
• You own the reliable delivery of your teams and ensure realistic planning, transparency, and early communication of risks.
• You organise and manage the operational development process – refinements, sprint and iteration planning, and ongoing prioritisation.
• You work with Product Management to ensure requirements are clear, actionable, and sufficiently prepared.
• You coordinate technical assessments, estimations, and dependencies together with Tech Leads and the team.
• You make operational decisions in day-to-day work – on bugs, short-notice requirements, or necessary scope adjustments.
• You identify bottlenecks, structural issues, and overload early and make them visible.
• You collaborate closely with other teams, Product Management, Architecture, and leadership.
• You provide clear reporting on progress, risks, and deviations from plan.

• You have experience leading or coordinating development teams – as a Team Lead, Engineering Manager, or in a comparable role.
• You bring several years of software development experience with solid technical understanding.
• You understand technical contexts and can communicate at eye level with developers, Tech Leads, and stakeholders.
• You can manage priorities sensibly under real constraints.
• You communicate in a structured way and deal pragmatically with change and uncertainty.
• You ideally have experience working with complex or legacy software systems and iterative software development.
• You are open to AI-assisted development tools and modern development processes.
• You have excellent German and English skills.
