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
