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
