Who you are
- Experience as an Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, or similar leadership role, guiding and supporting a cross-functional software engineering team
- A strong technical background in building and scaling backend systems using C#, the.NET framework, a deep understanding of relational databases, with relevant experience in microservices architecture and RESTful APIs. Experience with application-level encryption and key management strategies are a plus
- Experience leading teams working on modern frontend applications, ideally with Single-Page Application (SPA) frameworks
- Experience with modern DevOps practices and tools, including CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud platforms (AWS is our flavor)
- A commitment to operational excellence, understanding the team’s throughput and stability; and measuring application metrics, is the norm for you. Experience with testing methodologies, monitoring, and observability
- Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
- A passion for people leadership, with a track record of coaching and mentoring engineers to help them achieve their career goals
- A self-driven, problem-solving mindset. You are motivated by complex challenges; balancing business needs, technical requirements, and customer expectations is your drive
- Familiarity with AI / LLM concepts and experience working with teams that integrate machine learning models into software products and in their daily work is a strong plus
- You are a fluent English speaker. German is a nice-to-have
- Be open-minded and hungry for knowledge and continuous improvement, but also you just love to have FUN
What the job involves
- Your mission is to lead, grow, and empower the Integrity Line team. You will foster a culture of technical excellence, psychological safety, and rapid, data-informed iteration while ensuring its reliability and scalability
- As an Engineering Manager, you will work closely with the Senior Engineering Manager of Whistleblowing to lead and build a team of talented engineers
- You will take ownership of the team's technical roadmap, guiding the architectural evolution of the Integrity Line module's C#/.NET backend and Angular SPA to deliver exceptional value to our customers
- Lead, Mentor, and Grow: Lead and manage a high-performing, cross-functional team of backend and frontend engineers. Foster their career growth through dedicated coaching and mentorship. Give them praise when they deserve it, but also do not avoid difficult conversations
- Lead from the front! Ready to put your hands in the code when needed, leveraging your background as a strong senior engineer, acting as a key technical leader for the team. Reviewing merge requests is a regular task, along with architectural reviews, designing software systems with other engineers
- Shape the platform: Own the technical vision for the application. Guide the evolution of our (microservices) architecture, ensuring our services are scalable, reliable, and secure. Collaborate with other engineering leaders to align on a broader technical strategy
- Spearhead AI Innovation: Drive the integration and development of AI-powered features, collaborating with product and data teams to enhance our platform's intelligence and predictive capabilities
- You own delivery: Partner closely with Product Managers and Designers to translate business objectives into a clear technical roadmap. Drive the execution of this roadmap using the agile methodologies that fit your team, ensuring your team delivers high-quality features in a timely and iterative manner
- Sharing is caring! Be ready to organize and lead presentations about topics you have mastered. Keep yourself and your colleagues up to date with the new technologies to help move the engineering department forward
- Mastering Zero-knowledge Data Security: Our platform's architecture relies on sophisticated data isolation techniques at the application and database levels to serve multiple tenants securely. You will lead the team in designing, implementing, and optimizing our critical data security and access control models
- Balancing Centralized Security with Decentralized Frontends: You will navigate the fascinating architectural challenge of integrating a highly decentralized Angular micro-frontend with a centralized backend security model, ensuring both team autonomy and unwavering data integrity
- Pioneering AI in Compliance: Drive the evolution of our product by integrating machine learning models for tasks like anomaly detection and predictive risk analysis, shaping the future of compliance technology
- Scaling our GRC Platform: You will be responsible for the performance and scalability of the Integrity Line module as a critical part of our high-growth Compliance COCKPIT, ensuring our microservices architecture, containerized deployments, and cloud infrastructure can support an expanding global client base with enterprise-grade reliability
Our take
With consumers and investors concerned about the environmental and social impact of corporations and governments increasing regulations on carbon emissions and supply chains, businesses now must report on a range of metrics other than the bottom line. Aside from being the right thing to do, mistakes can be extremely costly both in reputation and in fines. Founded in 2000, EQS Group exists to make corporate compliance, investor relations and ESG reporting easier with its cloud-based EQS Cockpit resource.
The EQS Cockpit allows streamlining of a wide range of compliance processes, including relatively obscure matters such as whistleblower protection which have recently cost firms large amounts of money (see for instance Barclays receiving a $15 million fine along with massive reputational damage for failing to protect a whistleblower). In a time when governments such as Germany are increasing compliance requirements on supply chain to deal with the scourge of human trafficking, such a solution is likely to be particularly appreciated.
As expected of a company providing a much needed enterprise service, EQS Group has been in demand in recent years, seeing an almost 20% increase in revenue over 2022 and adding nearly 250 new corporate customers to its books. This growth is likely to continue, driven by the introduction of the EU whistleblower directive across the EU member states, a new investment from Thomas Bravo and by EQS Group's continuing marketing efforts as it expands into additional markets.
