Team Lead Software Engineering; m​/f​/d

Job Description

At Myra, we develop and operate a certified Security-as-a-Service platform designed to protect digital business processes. Our technology monitors, analyzes, and filters malicious internet traffic before cyberattacks can cause actual damage.

As a Team Manager Software Engineering at Myra, you remain an integral part of the development community - you ship code alongside your team - while also taking care of the members who make that team work. Think of it as a developing manager: hands on the keyboard, hands on the team.

You’ll help your team build technically excellent solutions for complex problems as we migrate from a legacy monolith toward a modern, modular architecture. The technical leadership and the human leadership are not separate jobs here; they’re one and the same.

We use AI heavily across our entire engineering workflow. AI proficiency is not a “nice to have” - it’s core to how we build, and core to this role.

We strongly believe in “you build it, you run it” and a genuine collaboration culture, where you and the team are on the front lines, driving change together.

• You are the go‑to person for your experienced team members: 1:1s, feedback and development conversations, vacation and budget planning, conflict resolution, and performance management.
• You translate direction from leadership into clear, actionable context for the team, and you make sure they’re heard upward, too.
• You ensure your team is supported, unblocked, and growing. This is a meaningful part of the role, not an afterthought.

• You design and implement state‑of‑the‑art code, hands‑on, as part of the team - this role moves towards the team, not away from it.
• You design, validate, and advocate frontend and backend architecture for your verticals, from idea to go‑live, and drive technical discussions and decisions with the team.
• You champion AI‑assisted development practices and help your team get the most out of our AI tooling.
• You work toward continuous delivery and continuously improve our development processes and solutions through your own hands‑on input.
• As part of the Product Team, you participate in ideation, discovery, and reviews of both solution designs and the code itself.

You’ll work in an international, cross‑functional team (Myra Cloud, CMS, Data Hub, or CRM) of software and QA engineers, focused on solving real problems for our customers.

• 5+ years of hands‑on web development experience (JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS) and you still love writing code.
• 3+ years with React, Type Script, GraphQL.
• Experience with Node.js / Nest.js is a plus.
• Strong AI proficiency: you actively use AI tools in your daily development work and are eager to push how far they can take a team.
• You’re an empathetic leader who sees caring for people and writing great software as two sides of the same role, ideally with some experience leading, coaching, or mentoring engineers.
• Curiosity and drive: you validate ideas hands‑on through POCs and RFCs, and you learn fast.
• An analytical, problem‑solving mindset.
• Agile methods and structured requirements feel natural to you and you prefer working this way.
• You give and receive open, constructive feedback clearly and respectfully.
• You’re first to jump into action when the team needs you.
• You can provide direction in a way that motivates, empowers, and encourages.
• Fluent English, spoken and written.
• Ideally located in or near Munich.
