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

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.

Tasks

**Architecture and product ownership.** 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.

**Agentic development.** You produce code agentically, review it, and keep the stack in a state you would be proud to hand over.

**Lead AI at LS.** 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.

**Integration.** You connect the platform with what operations depends on — banking and payment partners, e-signature, credit data, accounting — and you keep those connections reliable.

**Security and regulation.** You treat data protection, auditability and regulatory requirements as guidance from day one, not as a review step at the end.

**Direct line to management.** You present options and decisions to the owners directly. Decisions here take few time, not quarters — and they are then yours to deliver.

Requirements

**What you bring**

* 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.
* You have shipped AI features beyond a demo: integrating language models or ML into a real workflow, with evaluation, monitoring and a cost model.
* Broad technical understanding across backend, data, web frontend and cloud infrastructure, and the readiness to own architecture decisions.
* You explain technical decisions to non-technical owners in plain language — and can make the case for them convincingly.
* Fluent English or German.
* Based in or willing to relocate to Munich.

**Helpful, not required**

* Experience in a regulated or financial environment (leasing, banking, payments, insurance). Curiosity about the challenges of building software in a regulated environment matters more.

Benefits

**€90,000–120,000 fixed**, depending on experience.

**A mandate, not a job description.** 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.

**Munich, four days in the office, one day remote.** A growing team that makes decisions quickly and together — and we want you in the room when they are made.

**30 days of annual leave** and the stability of a family-owned business in its second generation.
