Engineering Lead (f/m/d)

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.

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

• 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
