Team Lead Software Engineering – Sourcing & Purchasing

We are among the leading online shops in Switzerland in both B2C and B2B - a combination that is almost unique in Europe. Behind this stands one of the most modern logistics operations on the continent: highly automated, scalable, and with further potential for expansion.

With us, you will find a lot of creative freedom in an environment characterized by ambition, personal responsibility, and passion. We celebrate successes, and we learn from mistakes. We value direct, honest feedback because we all still want to learn more. This creates a culture of trust, knowledge exchange, and the courage to truly move things forward.

Team Lead Software Engineering – Sourcing & Purchasing

What to expect

With us, you don't just design software, but you bring in your personality, actively develop the department, and shape the e-commerce of tomorrow. Our systems in the area of Sourcing & Purchasing form a central foundation for purchasing, assortment, and availability. As a hands-on Team Lead, you will become part of a cross-functional product team with a Product Manager and four Engineers. Together, you will bear responsibility and develop scalable solutions for our procurement processes using Java and Spring Boot.

• You lead, coach, and further develop your team, with a focus on personal responsibility, quality, and continuous learning
• You work hands-on, from the initial idea through architecture and solution design to productive operation, and you design modular architectures and interfaces using approaches such as Domain-Driven Design and Self-Contained Systems
• You bring curiosity, team spirit, and a willingness to learn, and you shape not only the implementation but also the architecture, quality, and the question of what should actually be built
• You work in variations of Scrum or Kanban. Engineers also roll up their sleeves during refinement and actively contribute to architecture and product questions
• You can expect a lot of creative freedom and the chance to shape the culture within the team and achieve impact even beyond team boundaries
• At the same time, there is enough legacy, complexity, and established structure to truly make a difference with resilience and a clear vision, making systems better step by step

What you bring with you

We match if you

• bring at least five years of experience in software development as well as at least one year of experience in a functional or personnel leadership role, ideally in cross-functional product teams in e-commerce or similar domains
• have sound knowledge of Java and Spring Boot or a comparable language (C#, Kotlin), are ready to work in the Java environment, bring experience with SQL and data modeling, and release regularly with CI/CD according to "You build it, you own it"
• are familiar with modular software architecture, interface design, and asynchronous data processing
• understand yourself as a Servant Leader, specifically develop employees, and have effectively established concepts such as Psychological Safety, OKRs, and an open feedback culture in practice
• work closely with Product Managers, want to truly understand problems, and think from a user and business perspective
• use AI-supported software development (coding agents like Claude Code) and want to further develop this within the team
• ideally have good German skills

We probably don't fit as well if you

• prefer frameworks like SAFe or projects that begin with a requirements specification (Lastenheft)
• have worked predominantly in highly regulated areas; without experience in a fast-paced, product-oriented environment with distributed systems
• feel more comfortable with role models in which infrastructure, backend, frontend, testing, and product thinking are clearly separated from one another
• take over requirements that are already fully formulated instead of sharpening them together with Product Management and truly understanding customers
• see further education primarily as the responsibility of the employer and do not continue to learn out of your own interest, whether this is "on the job," outside at an evening event, or simply reading a book
• are more frustrated than motivated by imperfect systems - spoiler: we are not there yet
• strictly separate work and good mood

Are you interested or do you have further questions?
