Product Engineering Lead

Kurz zusammengefasst

Secfix is a fast‑growing European leader in security‑compliance automation, helping over 1.7 million SMBs meet standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR, TISAX and SOC 2. The company's platform connects to a wide range of tools, including AWS, Azure AD, Jira, GitLab and GCP, to automatically collect evidence and guide teams toward certification in weeks rather than months. Backed by €17 million in funding and on a profitable trajectory, Secfix is expanding its product suite with AI‑driven features like CISO AI, creating a substantial pipeline of engineering work. The Product Engineering Lead will spend most of their time writing code and delivering features on a weekly cadence. In the first month the focus is on shipping a meaningful AI‑enabled feature and earning the team's technical trust. The second month involves diagnosing and eliminating bottlenecks that stretch feature delivery from one to three weeks, improving tooling, review processes and test practices. By the third month the role takes ownership of technical hiring, designing interview challenges, running screens and making hiring decisions. After the initial quarter the leader will set the technical direction for the growing team, define testing and review standards, shape the architecture of major projects, and eventually assume people‑management responsibilities as the engineering group expands to 12‑16 members. Secfix expects candidates who have a proven track record of building and shipping production‑grade software, and who can lead technical decisions while still contributing code. Experience with high‑velocity development cycles, code review and automated testing is essential, as is the ability to mentor engineers through pair programming and technical 1:1s. The role also requires hands‑on involvement in recruiting, including creating technical assessments and conducting interviews. Familiarity with cloud environments and integration points such as AWS, Azure, GCP, Jira, and GitLab is implied by the product's architecture. The position is fully remote within the EMEA region, with a preference for candidates based in Germany or Munich to align with the CET/CEST workday. The team currently consists of eight engineers and two product designers, and will double in size over the next year, offering significant growth opportunities. Secfix's culture emphasizes speed and product taste, rewarding engineers who can accelerate delivery without compromising quality. The successful lead will see their impact reflected in faster release cycles, a refined engineering playbook, and a thriving, zero‑bug‑policy‑compliant team. What the role asks for: - Based in EMEA time zone (CET/CEST) - Preference for Germany/Munich location - Ability to work remotely
