We are building the automated operating system for international travel compliance, tax, and duty of care.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Lifestyle:</strong> We are a remote-only company. You can work from anywhere and take up to <strong>183 days of workations per year</strong>. We value your output and your "Architect’s Mind," not the hours you spend in an IDE or a physical office.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>🛠️ The Role: The "Mini-CTO" of your Product</strong></p><p><br></p><p>You will lead a high-autonomy, single-threaded team of 4-5 engineers. This is a 50/50 Player-Coach role designed for those who refuse to stop coding but are ready to scale their impact through others.</p><ul><li><strong>The Partnership: </strong>You will work in a "dual-leadership" model with a dedicated Product Manager. You own the How (Architecture, Quality, Delivery) while they own the What (Roadmap, User Value). You aren't their boss, they aren't your boss; you are their strategic technical partner.</li><li><strong>The 50/50 Split:</strong> You’ll spend half your time as the Lead Architect designing greenfield systems and orchestrating AI agents - and the other half as a People Lead hiring, mentoring, and handling performance/salary growth for your engineers.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>🤖 The Way We Work: Agentic &amp; Async</strong></p><p>We are not a traditional "code-monkey" shop.</p><ul><li><strong>Agentic Coding:</strong> Our workflow is heavily driven by AI agents (Claude, etc.). We rarely open a traditional IDE for boilerplate. We expect you to lead your team in using AI as a high-leverage tool to build scalable, complex systems at 4x speed.</li><li><strong>Deep Work, No Bablah:</strong> We operate with a "meeting-light," async-first culture. Aside from essential syncs (Dailies/Planning), we protect your time so you can focus on architecture and leadership.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>🎯 What You’ll Do</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Architectural Sovereignty:</strong> Own the technical vision for your product domain. Make the high-stakes decisions on scalability and system design.</li><li><strong>Force Multiplication:</strong> Mentor 4-5 engineers to help them reach their full potential. You'll handle the "heavy lifting" of management: performance reviews, career coaching, and salary negotiations.</li><li><strong>End-to-End Ownership:</strong> Your team owns the full lifecycle from the first line of an AI prompt to the final deployment and operation.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>⭐ What you need to succeed</strong></p><ul><li><strong>The Lead Experience:</strong> 1-2+ years of experience in people management (managing performance, growth, and team health).</li><li><strong>Technical Battle Scars:</strong> 5+ years in <strong>Java, Spring Boot, and Angular/TypeScript</strong>. You need deep foundational knowledge to audit and guide AI-generated architectures. We do not want AI slop in our codebases.</li><li><strong>AI-First Mindset:</strong> You are excited by the prospect of "IDE-light" development and know how to delegate to agents without losing quality.</li><li><strong>Remote Fluency:</strong> You are a master of async communication and know how to foster a team culture across different time zones.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you don't possess all the required skills and experiences but feel passionate about this role, don't hesitate to apply. We value ambition and a willingness to learn, and we're happy to discuss your candidacy for this position!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>🚀 Why join us at WorkFlex</strong></p><ul><li>Contribute to building the future of the fastest-growing HR Tech start-up in Germany backed by prominent customers such as Scout24, Vodafone, Biontech, and others, as well as funding from top-tier VC and angel investors.</li><li>Competitive salary, dependent on location.</li><li>A monthly budget of €200 to spend on 🏢 co-working space and/or 🏃 ♀️ sports subscriptions.</li><li>VSOPs (Virtual Stock Options) to share in our success.</li><li>Work from anywhere in a remote-only company and go on workations for up to 183 days a year.</li><li>Merit-based culture with substantial growth opportunities.</li><li>Trust-based work – organize your own schedule. We want to celebrate results, not hours spent working.</li><li>Collaborative team culture where everyone's input is valued to shape the sales efforts, approaches, and processes.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>#LI-Remote</p> </div> <button class="
