Head of Software Engineering

Festanstellung, Vollzeit · München

Your mission
Who we are:
We are simple system – a fast-growing B2B SaaS company based in Munich and Cologne, developing industry-leading procurement software incl. a state-of-the-art B2B marketplace for mid-sized businesses across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. With 23,000+ monthly users, 850+ suppliers and partners, €150M+ in platform transaction volume and a 40-person team, we are building the next generation of B2B commerce. And we’re just getting started.

What we do:
Imagine this: A worker on the shop floor grabs the second-last pair of cut-resistant gloves from a smart shelf. The next day, 50 new gloves from the preferred supplier arrive automatically. The order is cleanly booked into the customer’s ERP, and the employee’s personal budget is updated – without anyone lifting a finger. We make this end-to-end automation a reality. Technologically, we map this complex multi-sided business model onto a modern, fully re-engineered tech stack. This enables us to rapidly develop and scale sophisticated use cases – from pilot to full deployment – together with our customers, suppliers, and partners.

Team & Technology:
The engineering team works closely with business and product, has an impact on the product development roadmap and full autonomy of the tools and technologies used. At simple system we build the best product in the market by fighting for the best solution internally – the engineering perspective being on eye level with the business and product perspective. Our B2B solution has been designed and developed according to modern methodologies and principles. You will be joining a cross-functional team of very experienced engineers, who believe in making great products and have all the technical skills to make it happen. Occasionally, we meet together to discuss the most important project matters and get to know each other during project workshops (on-site in Warsaw or Munich).

What you will do:
  • Lead and develop our cross-functional software engineering team of currently 13 engineers
  • Own and evolve product architecture with a clear focus on flexibility, scalability, and sustainable quality
  • Set engineering standards, foster best practices and build an environment that empowers developers to thrive
  • Work closely with product, business and leadership to align technical decisions with customer needs and business goals
  • You report directly to the CEO and are part of the leadership team
Your profile
  • Strong full stack expertise
  • Proven track record in designing and scaling complex software architectures
  • Experience in leading and developing engineering teams in a fast-paced, product-centric environment
  • Ability to reliably balance short-term delivery and long-term technical excellence
  • Down-to-earth, pragmatic, hands-on leadership by example – with actual exposure to coding
  • Ideally, exposure to SaaS, B2B, and/or enterprise software contexts
Why us?
Why us:
  • We’re a no-nonsense, “roll-up-your-sleeves” team with a deep sense of ownership and customer focus
  • We offer real responsibility and entrepreneurial freedom - you’ll shape not just our tech stack, but our company’s future
  • We operate with flat hierarchies, fast decisions and high transparency
  • We’re backed by a single strategic investor and have an ambition to become the dominant player in procurement software for mid-sized companies in Europe
  • We have an awesome team that loves working together

Location & Benefits:
  • Location: Munich-Pasing
  • Hybrid setup: In-office days on Tuesdays & Wednesdays
  • Top-tier work equipment
  • Multisport membership
  • Free breakfast & lunch in our in-house canteen
  • Attractive compensation

You’ll be part of an international team where you can use your creativity and enjoy a fun working environment. If communication in English and GIFs, flat organization structure, and permanent challenges make you feel like a kid in a candy store, let’s talk.
