At Matrix42 we empower our product squads to solve hard problems – customer problems and business problems – in such a way that our customers love to work with our products. Our product squads are cross-functional and durable, generally composed of a product manager, a product designer, and several qualified engineers.

As a technical team lead, your tasks will be split between leading the team and your part of the organization, and participating in the tasks yourself. We’re first and foremost looking for someone who’s a technical expert with little or none leadership experience, willing to explore the team leadership side a little further.

 
Our cloud organization consists of multiple Operations teams mainly in Germany or Finland and a cross-european cloud development team focusing on the efficient automatization of our cloud platform and observability tools.

We could tell you all about the free fruit and drinks in the office, that you will have flexible working hours, 30 days of vacation or that remote work is part of everyday life.

• Learning & Development Opportunities
  - Up to 6 additional days off for professional and personal development
