Engineering Team Lead - Invoices

About the role

Invoices is BLP's largest product, deciding every day whether a supplier invoice can be posted to a customer's ERP without human intervention. As Engineering Team Lead for Invoices, you own the team's roadmap, delivery, people and hiring. The team is distributed across Zurich and several European countries and reports to the Director of Product Engineering.

Key responsibilities

• Lead and grow the team: run regular 1:1s, coach subteam leads, set up the subteam structure and keep a distributed team connected through clear working agreements and transparent planning.
• Hire end to end: define profiles, screen candidates, run interviews and review coding challenges, then close offers with Talent Acquisition, aiming for about two new engineers per month, with onboarding plans and buddies.
• Own the roadmap: build the quarterly roadmap, run monthly planning with product owners and product management, balance enterprise go-lives, automation, platform migration, developer experience and new products, and escalate conflicts early.
• Deliver for enterprise customers: own the engineering side of large go-lives, including requirements engineering, solution design, test and fix cycles and go-live readiness, and give regular engineering updates to project managers and customer stakeholders.

Required profile

• Has led an engineering team of 8+ people for at least two years, ideally in B2B SaaS, and has grown a team through hiring.
• Strong backend engineering background, able to read, review and discuss production code and system design with senior engineers.
• Comfortable delivering complex software for enterprise customers, including demanding go-lives, and speaking with customer stakeholders.
• Fluent English; German is a strong plus because many customers and colleagues are in the DACH region.

What we offer

• A real mandate over people, hiring, roadmap and delivery.
• Measurable impact: automation rates and go-lives on the largest accounts are visible to customers and the business.
• A strong team of engineers with subteam leads already in place, and a smooth handover from the current team lead.
• Room to grow as a fast-growing, global AI company.
