Product Architect & Software Engineer (AI) (m/w/d)

<p>You build and own the software that runs a regulated financial services company — from customer-facing platforms to the tools our team uses every day — and you lead how we put AI to work. Senior role in Munich, reporting to management.</p> <h2 id="tasks">Tasks</h2> <p><strong>Architecture and product ownership.</strong> You design and build software applications across the company — customer platform, contract and asset management, financial workflows, internal tooling — and you decide how they fit together. Not a ticket queue: you own the roadmap, the trade-offs and the result.</p> <p><strong>Agentic development.</strong> You produce code agentically, review it, and keep the stack in a state you would be proud to hand over.</p> <p><strong>Lead AI at LS.</strong> You run our AI lab: identify where language models and automation move the business, build prototypes, deliver into production, and monitor them for quality, cost and compliance.</p> <p><strong>Integration.</strong> You connect the platform with what operations depends on — banking and payment partners, e-signature, credit data, accounting — and you keep those connections reliable.</p> <p><strong>Security and regulation.</strong> You treat data protection, auditability and regulatory requirements as guidance from day one, not as a review step at the end.</p> <p><strong>Direct line to management.</strong> You present options and decisions to the owners directly. Decisions here take few time, not quarters — and they are then yours to deliver.</p> <h2 id="requirements">Requirements</h2> <p><strong>What you bring</strong></p> <ul> <li>You have built software that is in production and used every day — and you have carried the architecture of at least one such system from design through operation.</li> <li>You have shipped AI features beyond a demo: integrating language models or ML into a real workflow, with evaluation, monitoring and a cost model.</li> <li>Broad technical understanding across backend, data, web frontend and cloud infrastructure, and the readiness to own architecture decisions.</li> <li>You explain technical decisions to non-technical owners in plain language — and can make the case for them convincingly.</li> <li>Fluent English or German.</li> <li>Based in or willing to relocate to Munich.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Helpful, not required</strong></p> <ul> <li>Experience in a regulated or financial environment (leasing, banking, payments, insurance). Curiosity about the challenges of building software in a regulated environment matters more.</li> </ul> <h2 id="benefits">Benefits</h2> <p><strong>€90,000–120,000 fixed</strong>, depending on experience.</p> <p><strong>A mandate, not a job description.</strong> You build the next generation of asset-based finance software — on the foundation of 35 years in the business. Decisions are made by the owners, in the same room, usually within days.</p> <p><strong>Munich, four days in the office, one day remote.</strong> A growing team that makes decisions quickly and together — and we want you in the room when they are made.</p> <p><strong>30 days of annual leave</strong> and the stability of a family-owned business in its second generation.</p>
