What you'll do
- Run regular 1:1s, ensure growth of the engineers in your team, review progress, and make promotion and ranking decisions together with engineering leadership
- Coach and develop subteam leads, and set up the subteam structure as the team grows
- Keep a distributed team connected and productive: clear working agreements, transparent planning, and a culture where people raise problems early
- Own hiring for the team end to end: define the profiles, screen candidates, run interviews, review coding challenges, and close offers together with Talent Acquisition
- Keep a high bar while hiring at pace (current target is around two new engineers per month), and make sure every new joiner has an onboarding plan and a buddy
- Build the quarterly roadmap and run monthly planning with product owners and product management, prioritizing by customer impact, revenue, and strategic value
- Balance enterprise go-lives, automation improvements, platform migration, developer experience, operations, and new products, and say no when something does not move the product forward
- Escalate early and clearly when priorities conflict, and communicate decisions to the go-to-market organization
- Take responsibility for the engineering side of large enterprise go-lives: requirements engineering, solution design, test and fix cycles, and go-live readiness
- Work directly with project managers and, where needed, with customer stakeholders and their IT teams, and give clear, regular engineering updates
- Close gaps in the product rather than per customer, so the next enterprise customer arrives on a platform that already handles their case
What we're looking for
- You have led an engineering team of 8+ people for at least two years, ideally in B2B SaaS, and you have grown a team through hiring rather than only inheriting one
- You have a strong backend engineering background and can still read, review, and discuss production code and system design with senior engineers
- You have hired many engineers yourself, you know what a high bar looks like, and you can run a structured interview process
- You have delivered complex software for enterprise customers, including demanding go-lives, and you are comfortable in a room with customer stakeholders
- You prioritize ruthlessly, communicate trade-offs clearly, and can hold a position with engineers, sales, and executives while keeping the relationship
- You develop people: you give direct feedback, set measurable goals, and help engineers grow into leads
- You take ownership, surface problems early, ask for help when you are stuck, and hold your team to the same standard
- You are fluent in English
Nice to have
- German is a strong plus, since many of our customers and colleagues are in the DACH region
Your team
Invoices
The invoice team builds and runs BLP's largest product, which decides whether a supplier invoice can be posted to the customer's ERP without a human touching it. The team is distributed across Zurich and several European countries and is organized in subteams, each with its own lead.
Benefits
Impact you can measure: automation rates and go-lives on our largest accounts are directly visible to customers and to the business
A strong team: engineers from serious academic and industry backgrounds who care about doing the work well, with subteam leads already in place
A smooth handover: the current team lead moves into a new role in engineering leadership and stays available to support your start
- A real mandate: you own the invoice team end to end: people, hiring, roadmap, and delivery
- Room to grow: as a fast-growing, global AI company, BLP keeps creating new leadership opportunities
