Engineering Lead (f/m/d)

YOUR ROLE

As an Engineering Lead (f/m/d) at LIQID, you will lead a team of software engineers building our next-generation digital wealth management platform — managing over €3 billion in assets.

Your team turns ideas into reliable, scalable and elegant solutions, from client-facing applications to the sophisticated systems that power our investment processes. As a hands-on engineering leader, you balance technology and people, provide technical direction, write high-quality code and help your team to grow personally and professionally. You foster an environment of ownership, learning and innovation, and ensure that our products consistently meet the highest quality and performance standards.

Our tech stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Hono, React/React Native, PostgreSQL, Redis, and GCP.

YOUR IMPACT

You align engineering efforts with product and business goals to ensure that we deliver features that delight clients and scale sustainably. You empower your team to move fast without compromising on quality, establish best practices, and contribute to shaping LIQID’s technical vision and engineering culture.

WHAT WILL KEEP YOU CHALLENGED?

• Own your team’s domain from a technical and architectural perspective
• Drive technical design, code quality, testing, and system reliability best practices
• Actively contribute to the codebase and development lifecycle while unblocking and supporting your team
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other Engineering Leads to define and execute the product roadmap
• Foster a high-performance engineering culture that values autonomy, ownership, and continuous improvement
• Identify and lead initiatives to continuously improve scalability, developer experience, and delivery processes across teams

WHAT YOU BRING

• 5+ years of professional experience in full-stack development, ideally in a web or mobile environment
• Strong experience with TypeScript and Node.js, familiarity with frontend frameworks like React or React Native and databases such as PostgreSQL or Redis
• Solid understanding of scalable system design, software architecture patterns and clean code principles
• Proven experience mentoring and leading high-performance engineering teams
• A deep sense of ownership: you take responsibility not just for tasks but for outcomes, and hold yourself and your team accountable for delivering high-quality work
• A proactive and curious mindset: you continuously learn, share knowledge, and inspire others to grow while anticipating and preventing problems

WHAT WE OFFER

• Diversity: Flat hierarchies and cultural openness make you an integral part of our diverse team of international talents from day one.
• Flexibility: We don’t complicate your life. You’ll find the right balance with flexible work models, working hours, and remote work options. 28 days of vacation and two additional days off on December 24 and 31 ensure you have ample time to unwind.
• Appreciation: You’ll help shape the future of digital wealth management with us in an innovative, multi-award-winning company on a growth trajectory, with high market relevance and plenty of space for your ideas.
• Development: We support your personal and professional growth with an annual development budget up to €3,000. Additionally, at the start of your tenure at LIQID, you’ll receive high-quality equipment, including a MacBook, headphones, and a display.
• Smart Money: As a LIQIDian, you'll enjoy attractive terms for our investment strategies, a monthly lunch allowance, and exclusive discounts with various providers.
• Well-being: Regional organic products keep you fit in the office, and our health initiatives or Health Assistance Program go far beyond that.
