Head of Engineering (f/m/d)

In the last three years, Predium has built the leading real estate intelligence platform for ESG and Value Management in the DACH region - with the strongest names in the industry as customers: Asset managers, housing associations, banks. Our customer base, the data, our credibility are valuable assets for the next step. Investment, credit, and asset management decisions in the real estate industry are still made in Excel, case by case. We are now building the AI analyst that will take over this work. Directly on customer data, scalable without additional headcount. We are strongly funded and bringing AI into the real estate industry.

As Head of Engineering, you will take the lead of our currently approximately 10-person engineering team and expand it further. You will help your team to deliver ambitiously: continuous improvements for our existing customers, but also new prototypes and innovations that expand our business model. At the same time, you will ensure communication and collaboration within the team so that everyone gets a little better every day.

You are a strong sparring partner and think in systems: Together with our C-level, the Product and Data teams, and our customers, you will further develop our product strategy and find technically viable, smart solutions. Here, the best idea wins - no matter who it comes from. With 40 people, there is simply no room for politics.

Technically, you will build our architecture so that it scales with us and leaves room for innovation - for example, in the integration of AI components and data pipelines. You have a free hand here: try new things, further develop the tech stack, and also plan capacity for technical foundations and tech debt.

This way, you will also help our Sales and Customer Success teams to win new customers - and thereby build your own user and fan base. And: Every line of code contributes to improving the CO2 footprint of real estate.

Tech Stack: TypeScript (Full Stack, React in the Frontend, NestJS in the Backend), Hasura/GraphQL, PostgreSQL RDS, AWS ECS / Elastic Beanstalk, Claude

• You get the best out of agentic engineering and, together with your team, expand the platform to a 360° view of the property.
• You made the team deliver faster - by supporting them, strengthening the can-do mentality, and focusing on the truly important things - in products and architecture projects.
• You have expanded the team with strong talents.
• You know what drives each person on your team - and have helped them take their performance to the next level.

• You have at least 5 years of experience in software engineering leadership and architecture, with a track record of scaling engineering teams while maintaining high shipping velocity - ideally in a non-corporate environment.
• You love to grow teams, support them in their development, and at the same time set ambitious goals for them.
• You have extensive experience with the mentioned frontend and backend technologies as well as modern tech stacks - not by coding everything yourself, but by enabling your team.
• You think in systems and consistently solve problems from a first-principles perspective.
• You speak German at a native or C1 level and fluent English.

• Stage: ~40 people, strongly funded, on the way to define the category. Early enough that much still needs to be built. Yes, it's sometimes messy - but that's the point. If you're looking for a finished playbook job, this isn't the right fit.
  
  
• Impact: You are not employee #100 in a company. What you build here - team, architecture, a product that customers really use - will remain. Your contribution is directly visible: in revenue, in the product, and in how the engineering team works in a year.
  
  
• Ownership: We don't manage your time, we measure your results. You get responsibility and freedom - and the expectation to use both.
  
  
• Compensation: Competitive Salary, Bonus, and Equity participation. We want you to share in the success you are helping to build.
  
  
• Team: Office-first in Werksviertel Munich, 4 days/week.
