Lead Developer & Software Architect (M/F/D)

Implementing sophisticated concepts with highly motivated teams.

At Intentive, you show what you’ve got! As an established digital agency, we have been helping the champions of the German economy to expand their digital platforms since 2003.

You will lead a high-performance development team that is valued by well-known customers for its functioning concepts, implementation strength, and creative impetus in terms of tech stack, methodology, and processes. Proven and new technologies, ambitious projects, and continuous support – we offer all of this in regular rotation, guaranteed without boredom!

As Lead Developer & Software Architect, you will develop the technical concept in line with our customers‘ requirements. You take on the technical responsibility for the implementation and coordinate closely with your development team, customers, and project management on the progress of the project. Do you have to hit the keys yourself so as not to lose contact with the base? Of course, as Lead Developer, „hands on“ is part of good team play! In regular exchanges with our CTO / Head of Development, you will coordinate strategy, standards, methods, and processes.

YOUR MISSION

From „manageable microsites“ to „enterprise digital platforms“, you design technical solutions for a wide range of requirements and budgets. Reducing complexity and adhering to best practices are simply part of good style for you.

You are proficient in current technologies, are passionate about innovative ideas, and independently keep your knowledge „state of the art“. As Lead Developer, you take the lead, take care of onboarding and mentoring new team members, support your colleagues through sparring and code reviews, and thus lead your team to success – this keeps your motivation and satisfaction high in the long term.

You will work „hands-on“ in the project and thus maintain contact with the basis and know-how. You coordinate closely with the project managers, product owners, and stakeholders on project progress and challenges, stand up for your team, and protect them from excessive demands. You like clean code and high-quality software.

You and your team take responsibility for the software you have built and continuously develop it further: „You build it, you run it.“

YOUR SKILLS

You are a Senior Developer, have at least 5 years of practical experience, and have already taken on initial responsibility for people, concepts, or results. You have experience in the conceptual new and further development of web-based applications, the creation of meaningful Proof of Concepts (PoCs), and their further development into Minimum Viable Products (MVPs).

A plus, not a must: Experience with a web content management system (AEM, FirstSpirit, TYPO3 or similar) or headless CMS (Contenful, Strapi) – it’s not rocket science, we’ll be happy to teach you.

You design scalable software architectures that are both maintainable and future-proof, using modern concepts such as microservices and API-first. You plan and implement CI/CD pipelines routinely with tools such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, or comparable and integrate them into the development process. You are confident in using container-based software deployment (Docker, Kubernetes) and have already operated applications in productive environments.

You work in a structured way in agile and traditional projects. You are fluent in German and can easily cope with English-language projects.

YOUR TEAM

Together with your agile team, you realize projects that you are proud of because they help our customers achieve their goals. As Lead Developer, you are an important point of reference for your fellow developers and are in demand in all areas and phases – the wishes and requirements of our international customers are your own benchmark, and you skillfully integrate existing systems into smart overall solutions.

Sparring and workshops will keep you „up to date“ and your team will be particularly happy when you share your ideas and tech impulses. In addition to friendly people and great projects, you will find a professional and hybrid working environment here. You can exchange ideas on new technologies and proven best practices at daily coffee bar talks, developer roundtables, or our regular Intentive Academy sessions.

You work where you feel most productive and creative: at our locations in Mönchengladbach (D), Düsseldorf (D), Duisburg (D), Dresden (D), Aarau (CH), completely remotely, in a mobile office, or a mix of these – it’s up to you!

Join Intentive and experience teamwork and projects that will advance your career! Apply now to discover why agency life is considered a skillset booster and why „working for corporations“ is even cooler than „working in corporations“! We look forward to getting to know you!
