Team

For further development and expansion of our banking and investments platform, Raisin is looking for an Engineering Lead with a strong software engineering background, who seeks an opportunity to lead efforts that help other engineers solve complex problems using Cloud technologies and Platform Engineering practices.

Our platform team works alongside our development teams to ensure accelerated SDLC, as well as enable them to deploy secure and high-available Cloud Native applications to AWS Cloud using Continuous Delivery. As a team lead, you will be responsible for adoption of cutting-edge technologies and initiatives that shape the vision of our Internal Development Platform, assisting our product and development teams to stay highly productive.

The team is mostly based in Berlin, so we are looking for a candidate with experience in leading hybrid teams, who is willing to work partially onsite from our Berlin office.
